ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I wonder if the Sox would consider taking on Lorenzo Cain's awful contract to minimize the return for Burnes. Put Cain in LF with Eloy at DH until Vaughn comes up, then put Eloy back in LF and platoon Eaton and Cain in RF. Extremely expensive platoon, but if it means we don't have to give up a blue chip prospect, it might be worth it. That's really their only bad contract that we can absorb. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems like a good idea for the Brewers, I'd be willing to take on Yelliches extreme contract. 😓 no in all seriousness -- Cain might be a smart idea on your end.

Clearly a difference between money and a trade but from a standpoint of what they’ve already accomplished vs future potential is 1 of those 2 better than the other? Burnes is the future superstar IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still need a backup catcher but all other boxes checked. If somehow taking Cain saves a guy or two....I still think it takes Kopech and another arm, but we keep Madrigal, Kelley, Crotchet, and Vaughn. That is one killer 1-4.

Hos season was short this year. He pitched well but the body of work just isn’t there yet. I know the Brewers wouldn't accept a lesser deal, but I would be looking elsewhere if I'm trading either of our top guys. In fact, I would rather just pay for Pax and then see if Cease can be worked out than trading Madrigal, Vaughn or Kopech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
