What a clown show. It's too bad every team doesn't just bow out and make him sweat until spring training... I mean, obviously, that isn't going to happen, but these idiot teams stumbling all over themselves to see who will make the biggest mistake is just whacko.
Just get it done already so the rest of the market can start to play out.
Not even sure why anything hinges on this guy. The amount of money only involves what, 3 teams realistically, why does he have anything to do with a guy like Hoskins signing, or the other free agent pitchers for that matter. Different stratospheres. If the Dodgers do or don't get him, why would that matter on a decision to trade for Burnes? Burnes will require minor league capitol (and a small amount of cash in Dodger money to pay this year's salary), and I'm pretty sure the Dodgers are going to go for 2 stud pitchers anyway. So if they do or don't get him, they will probably still come after Burnes.
