MLB Rumors: Orioles Miss Out on Corbin Burnes, Tigers Closing in on Alex Bregman, Red Sox Deal Falls Through
The MLB offseason is heating up, with several major developments across the league. The Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers, and Boston Red Sox are all making headlines, as they look to reshape their rosters and make a push for the playoffs.
The Orioles were reportedly in the running to sign Corbin Burnes, one of the top free agent pitchers on the market. However, despite submitting a competitive bid, they were unable to secure his services. This has left fans questioning the team’s next move to bolster their pitching staff.
Burnes, who has been one of the most dominant pitchers in the league over the past few seasons, was widely expected to command a large contract. The Orioles’ bid was reportedly in the range of $100 million over five years, but it appears that they were outbid by another team.
The failure to sign Burnes is a significant blow to the Orioles, who were looking to add a top-of-the-rotation starter to their staff. The team has been rebuilding over the past few seasons, and the addition of Burnes would have been a major step forward.
However, the Orioles are not giving up on their pursuit of pitching help. They are reportedly still in the market for other top free agents, including Nathan Eovaldi and Chris Bassitt. The team is also exploring trade options, and could potentially make a deal for a pitcher before the start of the season.
Meanwhile, the Detroit Tigers are making progress in their negotiations with Alex Bregman. The team is looking to reunite Bregman with manager AJ Hinch, who he played for in Houston. The Tigers are reportedly offering Bregman a large contract, in the range of $200 million over eight years.
Bregman, who has been one of the top hitters in the league over the past few seasons, is widely expected to command a massive contract. The Tigers are willing to pay top dollar to bring him to Detroit, and it appears that they are close to reaching a deal.
The addition of Bregman would be a major coup for the Tigers, who are looking to rebuild their team after a few down seasons. The team has a strong core of young players, including Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene, and the addition of Bregman would give them a much-needed boost.
On the trade front, the Red Sox were reportedly close to making a deal for Luis Castillo, but it appears that the trade has fallen through. The team was willing to give up a number of top prospects to acquire Castillo, but the deal was reportedly scuttled due to a player issue.
The Red Sox are still looking to add a top-of-the-rotation starter to their staff, and could potentially make a deal for another pitcher before the start of the season. The team has been linked to a number of other top free agents, including Carlos Rodon and Kodai Senga.
The failure to acquire Castillo is a significant blow to the Red Sox, who were looking to add a top pitcher to their staff. However, the team is not giving up on their pursuit of pitching help, and could potentially make a deal for another pitcher before the start of the season.
Overall, the MLB offseason is heating up, with several major developments across the league. The Orioles, Tigers, and Red Sox are all making headlines, as they look to reshape their rosters and make a push for the playoffs.
