    It works with every team in baseball. A lot can happen in two years. It makes zero sense to sign a player for the maximum they could possibly make years before they could make it. Again, the players gives up some money in exchange for the security of earning close to what they would earn in the future. That's the whole point in buying out free agent seasons. The player takes 80% or so of what they will possibly make because, again, a lot can happen in the future. 80% now is better than 0% if they suffer a career ending injury.

    The vast majority of players DO go year-to-year with their contracts. It's only after they reach free agency do they not.

    6 year/$128 M 12/18/27/27/27/27 Or, get really inventive and offer 6/$78 M ($13 M per) with a $50 M signing bonus.

    The whole point of signing a player to an extension is the player gives up future earning potential in exchange for salary security now. If Burnes' maximum arbitration number for next season is $18 M, it is monumentally stupid for the Brewers to sign him now for that $18 M. Because that number can only go down in the coming year. If he projects to earn $30 M in free agency in two years, it's stupid to sign him to that $30 M now. Because you can just sign him at that time for the $30 M, if you're going to pay it. Or he'll cost less than that $30 M. An extension for Burnes earning him 11/16/25/25/25 is a very reasonable extension for him. That's $102 M.

    And I don't see Burnes getting a BIG payday. He'll get in the $24 M-$25 M per year, but he ain't getting $30 M plus.

    Only five starting pitchers in MLB make $30 M or more. $30 M plus for Burnes is an overpay.

    If Mullins and some of Baltimore's lesser prospects is the best deal out there, they should just keep Burnes. That would be trading him just to trade him.

    That's a huge overpay for either Burnes or Woodruff. They each have two years of arbitration left and those years should total less than $30 million combined for both years for either one.

    What I suspect is going to happen is they'll figure out the best trade offers for both Burnes and Woodruff, trade one and sign the other to an extension in the 5 year/$100 M range.

    One only has to look at the Castillo trade to see the minimum the Brewers should expect back in a Burnes trade. A top 15 prospect, a top 50 prospect. a prospect in the team's top 10 and a low A flyer.

    He straight out admitted to making intentional errors. **** him and feed him fish heads.

    The Luis Castillo trade to the Mariners is a good floor for the prospects that would be coming back, if Burnes is traded. Castillo was traded at the deadline with one year of arbitration remaining, and is two years older than Burnes. The Reds got two overall top 50 prospects (according to Baseball America; one was actually top 15 in many rankings), the Mariners #10 and a low-A flier.
