    That's kind of what I was thinking. Maybe it's possible to extend Burnes right now to a $180m, six year deal. But it's going to require a lot of money and a lot of years. And if it's not done this offseason, I suspect that price will nearly double.

    There might be a remote chance to get 1-2 years of FA Woodruff if the Brewers really incentivize his remaining two years of arbitration. Burnes, nope. I don't see him accepting anything less than a long-term deal that goes well over $100m in free agent money.

    Their latest regime is from the Astros. I think they took over around... 2016? Going from memory here so I could be off by a year or two. They haven't traded prospects because they've been aggressively building the farm until now.

    I think you're underestimating the payroll potential of Baltimore once they decide to become competitive. They can pretty easily carry a payroll similar to teams like Philadelphia (maybe just a step below but close) should they decide to do so. And given their competition and division, Orioles fans should throw a fit if the team doesn't do that. They suffered for a long time waiting for a competitive organization, they should demand ownership to start carrying a payroll commensurate with their market size.

    *Orioles call about Burnes and take their best prospects off the table*

    I shop Burnes this offseason but I'm not trading him unless a team like the Orioles comes in hot. If someone offers me four global 100 guys I like that includes two close-to-MLB players and two pitchers, I pull the trigger. If someone offers me three global 100 prospects I really like, maybe I also trade him. Basically, I make and receive calls but unless someone comes with a truly serious offer, I focus on what Burnes can give the team in 2023 in reevaluate in July.

    His age is probably a factor in any trade, too. While d'Arnaud looks pretty appealing right now, he could drop off a cliff at any moment playing catcher in an age 34 season. Not that I'm saying he *will* drop off a cliff but 34 year old catchers make me nervous.

    That's exactly it. The positional pipeline looks promising right now. It's the pitching pipeline I'm slightly concerned about. Some arms certainly emerged out of Wisconsin this season but I'd like to see more before I'm comfortable believing the organization has the pitching nut cracked a la Cleveland.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    I'm even less confident than that. I'm not entirely convinced the Brewers have a Cleveland-esque pitching pipeline. Yeah, Burnes and Woodruff are outstanding but I'm going to need more data points before I'm convinced this organization can conjure good starting pitching at will, as Cleveland seems to do every season.

    I could easily see the Orioles aggressively pursuing Burnes. Given the direction of the franchise, their potential for spending, and their robust farm system, it's exactly the kind of thing I see them trying this offseason.

    I guess it boils down to your definition of "significant". I consider two low ball prospects with upside rather significant for an executive who may have had one foot out the door either way. But I agree the most likely outcome is for everyone to stand pat for 12 months, see how Eppler does in 2023, then reevaluate the situation.

    Yeah, disregarding money you keep Burnes over Woodruff close to 100% of the time... but that's not the way baseball works, unfortunately.

    They also throw way harder now, which is probably the root cause of most of those injuries.

    I think Burnes is a more likely trade candidate, as I believe the Brewers have less of a chance of extending him past arb. I hope I’m wrong but that’s the situation I see.
