Could Orioles Pull Off Another Blockbuster Trade to Land Second Ace?
Coming into the offseason, the Baltimore Orioles had the goal of landing an ace to pair with the tandem of their young starters at the top of their rotation.
They accomplished that by pulling off a blockbuster deal to acquire Corbin Burnes from the Milwaukee Brewers.
This gives them a major chance to compete in the playoffs this year with the ultimate goal of them winning their first World Series championship since 1983.

Even though they accomplished their goal, the Orioles could still pull off another major move and it might be for their past rumored target.
“… Teams are still calling. They are still trying to work on a deal that works for both sides. If there’s a match somewhere, we’ll do it,” Chicago White Sox general manager said on SiriusXM’s MLB Network Radio.
Of course, Baltimore is familiar with the trade package that the White Sox are looking for. They had previous negotiations focused on landing Cease, but both parties couldn’t come to an agreement.
Even after trading for Burnes, the Orioles still have plenty of talent in their farm system that could get Cease onto their roster.
