Good Morning, Birdland!
The reverberations of the Corbin Burnes trade continue to be felt around baseball. It’s easy to understand why. The Orioles won 101 games last year and had one clear hole on their roster. They have now filled that hole with one of the game’s 10 best pitchers. Even haters have to admit that this team is now a legitimate World Series contender.
Even though I have just typed those words, it still doesn’t feel real from the perspective of an Orioles fan. How could OUR team be in the World Series discussion?
