Will Orioles re-sign Corbin Burnes? | MAILBAG

Question: Do you think the Orioles will re-sign Corbin Burnes? From: Gary Dorothy Tallon

Answer: Gary, I think the Orioles will make an offer to Burnes, but I can’t see them offering the $200 million-plus that some have speculated he’ll receive. Burnes is the best free-agent pitcher, and it would surprise me if the Orioles offered seven or eight years to a starting pitcher, even one as good as Burnes.

Question: What is Baltimore’s ERA as a team with James McCann catching, and with Adley Rutschman? And, specifically, what is Corbin Burnes’ ERA with each of the catchers? From: Steve Westerholm

Answer: Steve, entering Wednesday night’s game, the Orioles ERA with McCann catching is 3.82 and with Rutschman it’s 4.04. Burnes’ ERA with McCann is 2.94 and with Rutschman, it’s 3.16.

Most weekdays, I’ll be answering at least one Orioles question. If you’d like to submit a question, send it to: Rich@BaltimoreBaseball.com. Questions may be edited for clarity, length and style.
