Burnes has big potential but I wouldn't give a huge haul for him. 

And that’s a totally fair perspective, but the Brewers aren’t going to give him away for cheap after the season he just had.

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.

Highly doubt it.

good idea but i think i can help the brewers out more by taking C. Yellich's big contract off their hands. 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. 

Guys if this is real this package is going to hurt.

That would be smart, but JR isn't going to allow something like that.

Fathom, for those of us who have never heard of Garrett Richards or Burnes. 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.

This stays within budget.  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.  

My dream is still alive of Vaughn and Stiever for Burnes and then the Sox sign Cruz (who Hector tweeted the Sox should sign)

The rumor is Madrigal, Heuer and another guy. I'd imagine the other guy is Kelley/Thompson/Dalquist.

Yelich and Burnes for Eloy, Kopech, and Kelley

That would be incredible but I think it will be way more

Almost seems too good to be true. Unless that third guy is Kelley.

Lol, unless the “prospect” Andrew Vaughn, I do that deal alllll day. Which means it’s not happening.

Josh has the same amount of sources as I do. None.

He's speculating based on internet rumors the same as the rest of us are.

Burnes has enough control left that I'm ok trading Kelley here. Would be a good use of a 2nd round pick, IMO.

I don't even see where the anonymous reddit guy said it was for Madrigal & Heuer?

Josh is a good Twitter follow, but he doesn't have sources.

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.
