Due to Walltimore making him more effective? Sounds reasonable.

I meant the attached QO.

The O's should get a discount on him.

fat chance with Boras

So the attached QO won't change the cost analysis of obtaining him?

Look at it this way, you sign him for 8 years and he blows an UCL you still have him for say 6.5 years.  You sign him for 4 years and you only get 2.5.

He's not exactly a max effort guy with hinky mechanics. He might hold up.

[Malike]

MASN is great, according to their graphic Raley struck out on a 2-1 pitch.

Let's get some more runs and put this game away....still too close...

I hope this is the Burnes we get in the playoffs.

He's pretty much been this guy for years.

I think if you sign him for eight you are assuming he's going to miss a substantial amount of time with some issue or another.

How many guys go from age 30-37 and don't have some sort of serious injury?

Jesus. Corbin Burnes is damn good. 

[Malike]

Yankees got swept by the Reds this week. Rough, man, rough.

I think the stuff is a tick down and the ability to actually pitch is a tick higher.

I can't answer that, I have no idea.

Two runs are probably going to be enough for Burnes.

I know it's not the old days anymore, but he likely can go 7 and hand this to the bullpen.

I think the Yanks are going to collapse now that the O's have passed them by.
