The Story in 60 Seconds

Writer Brian Burrows argues that the Baltimore Orioles could resolve their third-base logjam by trading with the Miami Marlins for starting pitching. With Coby Mayo, Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Jordan Westburg, and Blaze Alexander all vying for infield time, Baltimore possesses surplus infield talent that aligns with Miami's desire to upgrade its corner infield and outfield positions.

Burrows suggests the Orioles could target Marlins pitchers such as Sandy Alcantara, Eury Perez, Max Meyer, or Janson Junk via a permanent trade. Citing past trades between Mike Elias and Miami, the writer contends Baltimore must act decisively to secure pitching depth before rival teams engage.
