Assuming you meant "this is his best chance to do so."
Which...we don't know that. No one knew where this team would be 3-4 years ago, so how can we know that this right now is his best opportunity to win a World Series over the next 3-4 seasons?
I'd have a hard time spending 40-45 million for Burnes...I don't care about his age, nor the holding runners on base...his strikeout rate is declining, which he says is by design but I don't know if I believe that.
I'd gamble on Tony, but a lot of people are going to be pissed if we sign him and he gets off to his usual slow start next April and May...people seem to have forgotten that already. He wasn't exactly a favorite around here in May when his OPS for the month was .708.
It'll be an interesting offseason, that's for sure.
