I think it's pretty close to a guarantee.

Why wouldn't we get a good return for this outside of injury?

I guess it depends on what you think is a good return. The evidence for it NOT happening is that I'm sure several teams made inquiries about Burnes this past offseason and before the deadline, and none of the offers were good enough to take.

I'm sure the return would be significant, and more than we'd get by letting him go FA at the end of 2024. But would it be more valuable than going far in the playoffs in 2024? Depends on how much you'd value that.

It also depends on how much impact you expect a few of these players to have next year. If you had two plus bats added to this roster in Chourio and Black (assuming they do perform to the level they can do, particularly Chourio) then this lineup takes on a whole different look, with 4/5 players who can hurt you at the top of the order, along with a fit and firing rotation

If not... then it makes sense to sell off

That would be great if they could contribute, but it's not really required to enter into the calculations, which should be simple. If we "bring all the boys back" next year, we should be a contender for a playoff position.

Just another failed RP pick up at the deadline...
