Projections for any SP this year is near impossible, but I understand the trepidation with a guy like Burnes. The industry has him projected for 155 IP. I think that's about right. https://www.rotochamp.com/baseball/Player.aspx?MLBAMID=669203 I mean, this guy is young, battled through some injuries and playing time issues and turned a corner last year. Got to assume he's ready to take off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Brewers are looking for Madrigal though (They have Hiura as long term 2b). I think there's a way to acquire Burnes with a package that would make White Sox Fans happy, but hell if I know. I still have no idea why the Brewers would pursue this tho... the rumors make no sense to me.. but if their legit, I'm down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 There is someone on the White Sox Reddit board saying that it’s a done deal Burnes to the Sox but he has 0 credibility and I bet he’s jumping the gun based on Al’s retweet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Soxfan Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I know you have to give up value to get value, but I do not want them to give up Kelley.

HOFHurt35 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I don't get it. Some people had a meltdown for trading a single prospect for a legit 2 x Cy Young candidate in Lynn. But we're OK to unload the Farm for a guy with less than 150 career innings in 3 ML seasons? WTF is going on here folks? STOP TRADING AWAY THE LITTLE BIT OF FARM TALENT LEFT. FREE AGENCY. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Burnes becomes a FA in 2025. Getting him on this team to go with Giolito/Lynn/Keuchel would be so cool. I've made a lot of shitposts on the site this week because I was angry seeing the Padres get ace after ace after ace and hearing about us going after garbage inning eaters as a "W". Get me Burnes and I call this offseason a massive success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
