Corbin Burnes isn't going anywhere.

Totally agree. There really isn't a lot of precedent for an ace-type pitcher with 1 year left to be traded in the offseason. Or at least it's fairly rare. That plus he's guaranteed to not accept an extension makes him kind of an unattractive trade option for any team other than maybe someone desperate like the Yankees.

Not sure why anyone is even mentioning that Burnes doesn’t want to sign an extension and therefore that means he will stay.

That is irrelevant. It’s unlikely any team trading for him thought that was going to happen.

The relationship between him and Brewers is strained.

His value is higher now then it will be, at the break.

The Brewers have no leverage anymore.

*Strike now O's. Someone is going to acquire him.

I'm warming up to the Burnes idea if it's not too costly in terms of prospects.   I'd give him the QO at the end of the year knowing that another team will pay a large sum for him.

I don't believe that Burnes not extending makes him a less attractive trade option. If anything it forces the ask from the Brewers to be lower. 

99% of players traded at the deadline are pending free agents. Did that make them unattractive trade options? It is still a matter of making a deal you can live with.

The Adrian Houser move is hard to understand going towards Burnes' walk year.     

I think Glasnow Rays to Dodgers is maybe as unique a context switch as Shohei Ohtani's talents.    I don't think Burnes has Glasnow's thirst for spending the rest of his prime with wherever he ends up, even if he doesn't end up in what is obviously the best spot.

36-ish hours before the league mostly shutters (or at least media would hope they do).     Certainly if a Club wanted to do anything maybe PR squishy like close a deal on a player with some warts, they might try and get it done so it can blow over some during the holidays.

      Orioles, Matt Bowman Agree To Minor League Deal

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      I may be misunderstanding, but if you are suggesting that you would recall Rogers for the playoffs, then I must respectfully and strongly disagree. Baker is odd man out here, or maybe Smith, but I would definitely keep Bowman

      A litmus test is if you'd prefer Trevor Rogers back for last guy. Tell me if it sounds crazy, but a pitcher you can sign to a minor league deal in mid-August might not be competitive with the world's greatest hitters in late September. It is fun to curate a trick pitch that works for a minute.

      Zach Eflin 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Just read two interesting tidbits - Juan Soto has battered him something like 18/35 which seemed like a lot but I guess PHI and WSN saw each other a bunch in the NL East. Also that he passed 1000 career innings.   It caught me a little by surprise he has been around that long.    Fingers crossed Bradish and Grayson in their careers can get there.    Eflin is 3rd among pitchers at age 30 and down this season. Hopping to Active Leaders to see how few pitchers attain that in this Driveline/Arm Barn era, tonight he became the 57th active pitcher to get there.     He gives us the ~162 IP we hope for in 2025, it'd go up about 20 spots.

      What a difference a couple players make

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      Westburg, Urias, Mountcastle… Good defense, even when there’s bad defense. Westburg missed a ball that went for a hit, but I didn’t feel any foreboding, no,”here we go again” because I felt sure that that one play wouldn’t ruin the game. And it didn’t. Good pitching, even when there’s bad pitching. Eflin had never in his whole career walked 5 guys, but I wasn’t worried, for some reason. Even when Bowman had his worst outing as an oriole, I wasn’t worried, no,”here we go again” because I felt sure we’d win. And we did. Good hitting, good base running, even when Santander REALLY wanted that triple… and didn’t get it.  The fundamental baseball smarts seem to have returned, so a mistake is just a mistake. I feel really good about this team now, even though they haven’t been perfect. I really feel they’ll cover for each other, and we will enter the playoffs strong. I feel most comfortable about facing the Yankees again; they just don’t seem like a strong team, and I’m not the least bit worried about facing them again.

      That is strong language coming from you.  The only recent guy I really couldn’t stand was Jimenez, though I sure wasn’t keen on Kimbrel for most of the season either.

      What is the O's magic number for home field advantage for the 1st round of the playoffs?

      By Frobby · Posted

      To state the obvious, the magic number for home field in the WC series is now 1, with 4 games remaining.   Would love to v close that out tomorrow va. the Yankees and then relax all weekend.
