Looking at today's trades with Atlanta and Milwaukee

It has been a dizzying day for the Orioles and their fans. As it turned out, the team did trade players who were under team control beyond 2018. They sent pitchers Kevin Gausman and Darren O'Day to Atlanta and traded second baseman Jonathan Schoop to Milwaukee.

In the deal with the Braves, the Orioles got four players and $2.5 million in international bonus money. They got three players from Milwaukee.

On the big league roster in New York this afternoon they have added right-handed relief pitcher Cody Carroll and infielder Breyvic Valera, both from Triple-A Norfolk. In the club's press release on the deal with Milwaukee, the O's say that infielder Jonathan Villar will eventually join the big league club.

Villar is batting .261/.315/.377 with the Brewers this year and led the National League with 62 steals in 2016. The O's also got Double-A pitcher Luis Ortiz from Milwaukee, the Brewers' No. 4 prospect per Baseball America and No. 7 per MLBPipeline.com. He has gone 3-4 with a 3.71 ERA this year and pitched in the Futures Game a few weeks back for Team USA, facing one batter and recording an out. He'll report to the O's Double-A Bowie club. They also added 18-year Dominican-born switch-hitting shortstop Jean Carmona. He was a 2017 Rookie-level Dominican Summer League All-Star and will report to short-season Single-A Aberdeen.

For Gausman and O'Day, the four players coming to Baltimore from Atlanta are 20-year-old third baseman Jean Carlos Encarnación from the Dominican Republic, 23-year-old catcher Brett Cumberland, 23-year-old righty reliever Evan Phillips and 23-year-old lefty starter Bruce Zimmermann. Zimmermann is a Baltimore native and Loyola High School grad.

The Orioles did not get a single top 100 prospect in today's trades. They added seven players, subtracted significant 2018 salary dollars and added potentially very significant international dollars.

Of the four players coming from Atlanta, Encarnación is the Braves' No. 14 prospect per MLBPipeline.com and Cumberland is No. 30.

By my count, the Orioles now have $8.25 million in international dollars after adding $2.75 from Atlanta in two trades. They could still add another $1.375 million under rules that allow teams to trade for up to an additional 75 percent over their original pool amount, which was approximately $5.5 million for the Orioles.

If the deal today allows the Orioles to sign Cuban outfielder Victor Victor Mesa, that would obviously would be a huge get and would likely become their best amateur international addition.

So since July 18, the Orioles have traded Manny Machado, Zach Britton, Brad Brach, Schoop, Gausman and O'Day for 15 players and international bonus money, which will bring in more talent.

For those that believed they should blow it up, they just about have in the last two weeks. The rebuild is here and it is going to be significant. No turning back now.

To sum up among today's added players:

To Norfolk: Phillips
To Bowie: Ortiz, Cumberland, Zimmerman
To Delmarva: Encarnacion
To Aberdeen: Carmona
Expected to join Baltimore: Villar
