Baltimore Orioles have parted ways with veteran pitcher Corbin Burnes after he reportedly asked to leave the team. Sources indicate that Burnes, a former Cy Young Award winner, became increasingly frustrated with the Orioles’ long-term direction and decided it was time to seek opportunities elsewhere.
The 29-year-old pitcher had joined the Orioles in hopes of being part of a contending team, but it seems the team’s recent struggles and lack of significant progress toward playoff contention weighed heavily on his decision. Burnes had been a key asset for the Orioles, bringing leadership and experience to a young roster, but his departure now leaves a noticeable gap in their pitching rotation.
This move is likely to raise questions about the team’s future and their ability to retain other key players. Fans, who had embraced Burnes as a cornerstone of the pitching staff, are left disappointed as the team will have to reassess its strategy moving forward.
