They’re fixated on pitching in the return. If they were being creative, the Orioles would throw Bundy into their deal with the Brewers and ask for Hiura, Burnes, and another guy like Wilkerson for the Machado/Bundy combo.

I think Santana hits 35 in Camden. Just entering his prime with 3 more years of control after this one. I think he's a nice player with an established major league floor.
Arcia looked like an emerging talent last year and has long been a top 100 type prospect; as much as a top 10 in a lot of lists. Just 23 and with 4 years of control after this year.
That's two pretty nice big league players with potential to be fringe all-star caliber guys with a lot of control left for a player they know they're losing soon. They may not have superstar upside but they have a lot of potential.
