New Milwaukee Brewers pitcher DL Hall is a player that Matt Arnold and company are excited to have received in their trade with the Baltimore Orioles. Parting ways with Corbin Burnes and losing his production every fifth day is going to be difficult to replace, but some MLB experts have gone as far to say that Hall was the key in the deal and that can become a mainstay in their starting rotation for the next five to six years.
In addition to Hall the Brewers also received infielder Joey Ortiz. Ortiz already has the defensive skill set to play at the big league level, but he hasn’t had a chance to prove himself offensively yet. In the minor leagues he put up great numbers that included back to back seasons of at least 30 doubles and a .507 slugging percentage in 2023.
No reports have come out as to if Milwaukee was pursuing any other prospects from the Orioles top ranked farm system, but they have a plethora of talent. Jackson Holiday is not only their top prospect but he is the top ranked player on most prospect ranking boards.
After Holiday they have outfielder Colton Cowser, outfielder Heston Kjerstad, infielder Coby Mayo, and catcher Samuel Basallo to round out their top five. Players like Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson have graduated from prospect status.
