WEBVTT 00:00:00.250 --> 00:00:03.269 Corbin Burns on the mound, former Sang award winner 00:00:03.278 --> 00:00:04.849 , a swing and a Miss. He got a 00:00:04.860 --> 00:00:08.140 back to back years making every single start struck him 00:00:08.148 --> 00:00:10.538 out swinging with a cutter and another swing and a 00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:14.339 miss got him a Baker's dozen for Burns swing and 00:00:14.398 --> 00:00:16.620 a Miss number 200. We talking about a guy 00:00:16.629 --> 00:00:18.760 with stuff that can just neutralize a lineup and take 00:00:18.769 --> 00:00:20.750 the bats out of somebody's hands. He's that guy 00:00:24.298 --> 00:00:28.048 , Corvin Burns who goes to Baltimore as he enters 00:00:28.059 --> 00:00:30.440 . What is his walk here? He is a 00:00:30.449 --> 00:00:35.939 free agent at the end of the 2024 campaign going 00:00:35.950 --> 00:00:39.450 to Milwaukee DL Hall, a former number one draft 00:00:39.459 --> 00:00:43.109 pick a reliever but does have starter experience infielder. 00:00:43.118 --> 00:00:47.679 Joey Ortiz, a top 100 prospect and the 34th 00:00:47.689 --> 00:00:53.381 overall pick in the coming 2024 MLB draft. John 00:00:53.393 --> 00:00:55.533 . How did this deal come together? Well, 00:00:55.542 --> 00:00:58.122 the Orioles have been looking for a top pitcher all 00:00:58.131 --> 00:01:00.802 winter. We knew they've been talking to Dylan CC 00:01:00.811 --> 00:01:03.102 still with the White Sox Bieber's still with the Guardians 00:01:03.251 --> 00:01:06.572 when they do land. Corbin Burns. I think 00:01:06.582 --> 00:01:08.152 this is a bit shocking though because obviously the Brewers 00:01:08.162 --> 00:01:11.442 have made some big moves. They got Reese Hoskins 00:01:11.453 --> 00:01:12.781 , they look like they're bulking up for this year 00:01:12.832 --> 00:01:15.474 and now they trade their ace. Corbin Burns, 00:01:15.486 --> 00:01:19.346 a former cy young winner, three time all-star guy 00:01:19.355 --> 00:01:23.275 with a 2.86 a this decade. So big trade 00:01:23.286 --> 00:01:25.566 for the Orioles, as you said, this is 00:01:25.575 --> 00:01:27.665 his platform year only one year. But uh boy 00:01:27.676 --> 00:01:30.885 , this really adds to the rotation. Rodriguez, 00:01:30.896 --> 00:01:34.224 Bradish Kramer. Now they have their ace Corbin Burns 00:01:34.236 --> 00:01:36.375 , they actually have a couple of aces and Rodriguez 00:01:36.385 --> 00:01:38.864 is certainly going to be an ace and Bradish pretty 00:01:38.875 --> 00:01:42.359 close as well. What and where is his future 00:01:42.370 --> 00:01:45.959 ? So darn dominant couple years ago, Lauren, 00:01:45.969 --> 00:01:48.838 his future is right where we have always assumed it 00:01:48.849 --> 00:01:51.000 to be. And that is Toronto Ontario. This 00:01:51.010 --> 00:01:53.308 is the key thing I was told this week on 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:55.838 the Noah is that clubs have been asking the jays 00:01:55.849 --> 00:01:57.870 about him via trade and the answer from them in 00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.709 recent weeks has been he's staying, we see a 00:02:00.781 --> 00:02:04.343 very clear role for him this year. I I 00:02:04.352 --> 00:02:07.342 think the 2023 performance was obviously up and down but 00:02:07.352 --> 00:02:10.002 many who know him well would point out that it 00:02:10.013 --> 00:02:13.622 was because of that massive innings increase there. You 00:02:13.632 --> 00:02:16.112 see it 196 and two thirds in 2022. Of 00:02:16.122 --> 00:02:17.723 course, he, he was one of the minor 00:02:17.733 --> 00:02:22.156 league pitchers who lost the 2020 season and so he 00:02:22.165 --> 00:02:23.885 basically needed a break and that break came towards the 00:02:23.895 --> 00:02:27.626 end of 2023. The belief is that now he 00:02:27.635 --> 00:02:30.735 is in a really good space, mentally, physically 00:02:30.746 --> 00:02:31.105 . Those who know. Well, tell me that 00:02:31.115 --> 00:02:32.844 he's in as good of a shape as they've seen 00:02:32.855 --> 00:02:36.906 in a long time. So Alec Manoah write things 00:02:36.915 --> 00:02:38.735 ahead for him and they are going to be in 00:02:38.746 --> 00:02:40.915 a blue Jays uniform according to everything I've been told 00:02:43.699 --> 00:02:46.580 , Will Salmon who covers the Mets for the athletic 00:02:46.588 --> 00:02:49.199 Mets close to an agreement with lefty reliever. Jake 00:02:49.210 --> 00:02:53.479 Deman League sources telling me and Ken Rosenthal, I 00:02:53.490 --> 00:02:55.050 always feel like Jake Deman is a guy that is 00:02:55.169 --> 00:02:59.308 overlooked or undervalued. Had a little bit of a 00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:00.909 bumpy time with the Chicago White Sox but then came 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:02.889 alive with the Tampa Bay Rays. I think that 00:03:02.899 --> 00:03:05.429 this is a guy that could help a lot of 00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.758 teams specifically the New York Mets. Yeah, certainly 00:03:07.770 --> 00:03:09.064 under appreciated when you think of, uh, Jake 00:03:09.074 --> 00:03:12.094 , he struggled with the White Sox, but once 00:03:12.104 --> 00:03:14.335 he went to the Rays, he found it and 00:03:14.344 --> 00:03:15.903 he usually does find it. A guy that he 00:03:15.913 --> 00:03:19.183 almost has Chris sale mechanics when you watch him throw 00:03:19.194 --> 00:03:22.064 right, the kind of side arm slinger with that 00:03:22.074 --> 00:03:23.153 basketball that's still in the mid nineties, a real 00:03:23.163 --> 00:03:27.403 devastating slider. And when his command is on, 00:03:27.413 --> 00:03:29.534 he's as good as any left handed reliever in the 00:03:29.544 --> 00:03:30.944 game. So the Mets, if they're able to 00:03:30.955 --> 00:03:32.814 finalize that would Dekan pick up a nice big piece 00:03:35.389 --> 00:03:38.038 super exciting. Um Obviously he was an all star 00:03:38.050 --> 00:03:38.469 a couple of times with the A's. Um I 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:40.300 grew up in the Bay area and although I grew 00:03:40.308 --> 00:03:43.308 up a Giants fan, Steven Vogue is always in 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.229 the news. Um He's always out there, I 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:46.639 mean, definitely knew the name. So I was 00:03:46.649 --> 00:03:49.330 a fan before uh before, before all of it 00:03:49.338 --> 00:03:51.618 , but I'm excited. He uh he, he 00:03:51.629 --> 00:03:53.849 contacted me during kind of the, the winter meeting 00:03:53.860 --> 00:03:54.490 . So I know he was kind of just pulling 00:03:54.500 --> 00:03:57.344 and he's getting pulled in every direction. But the 00:03:57.354 --> 00:03:59.014 fact that he made some time to reach out to 00:03:59.024 --> 00:04:00.493 us, I thought was super special. Um He 00:04:00.504 --> 00:04:02.395 , and he seems super genuine, super authentic. 00:04:02.604 --> 00:04:04.395 Um I thought it was also really cool that he 00:04:04.403 --> 00:04:05.865 just straight up was saying, you know, like 00:04:05.875 --> 00:04:08.544 I'm not here to replace Tito, I'm not going 00:04:08.554 --> 00:04:10.004 to, you know, try to do what Tito 00:04:10.014 --> 00:04:12.284 did. Um He was obviously great, but we're 00:04:12.294 --> 00:04:14.274 going to try to do, you know, learn 00:04:14.284 --> 00:04:15.134 and, and do stuff together uh his way. 00:04:15.144 --> 00:04:19.148 So I'm really excited just to be a part of 00:04:19.158 --> 00:04:21.139 that energy and, and to see where this team 00:04:21.148 --> 00:04:23.759 is, uh you know, wants to go in 00:04:23.769 --> 00:04:25.677 the, in the next few years. Uh I 00:04:25.687 --> 00:04:27.557 think the fans have something to look forward to. 00:04:27.569 --> 00:04:29.367 We have a, we have a young core group 00:04:29.377 --> 00:04:30.497 that is hungry to win, is hungry to show 00:04:30.509 --> 00:04:31.877 that they can play at this level. And they 00:04:31.889 --> 00:04:33.639 , they've shown that already. We've gotten a little 00:04:33.648 --> 00:04:35.959 bit of a preview, uh, right away and 00:04:35.970 --> 00:04:38.608 I, and I'm happy to, to, to 00:04:38.619 --> 00:04:40.678 join that group and, and to get integrated as 00:04:40.689 --> 00:04:42.639 quickly as possible, you know, from where they 00:04:42.649 --> 00:04:45.439 were of, of a season ago in 2022 to 00:04:45.449 --> 00:04:46.639 how they finished in 2023. It's, I feel 00:04:46.649 --> 00:04:48.500 like this team is on the uprise and it's gonna 00:04:48.509 --> 00:04:53.750 be very exciting for more on these and other stories 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:57.209 .
