bmags Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 Ah this is a fun rumor. Just when I start chewing on the crappy idea of Mike Leake as good the baseball gods throw me a fat juicy steak of a rumor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's suggesting Kopech or Vaughn too that would be horrific. How about something like Kelley, Madrigal, Thompson, and Bailey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I highly doubt this is happening. That Reddit thread isn't convincing in the slightest. Madrigal also doesn't make much sense for the Brewers despite Hiura being a bad fielder. If this actual did happen, I wonder if they would get creative like the Musgrove trade and bring in a 3rd team that maybe wanted Madrigal for themselves?

RagahRagah Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Since people just accuse me of always being negative... I am all for Corbin Burnes. Consider this a starter thread I'm actually perked up to see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace is a loose term with no definition, but I can say that Burnes would immediately come in and be a capable SP2 with as much upside as anyone in the game (i.e. potential AL Cy Young candidate). Of course there is more risk associated with no track record with a guy like Burnes over players like Bauer/Darvish caliber, but Burnes is on the same level there.

Tony Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 IF...the Sox feel like 2020 Burnes is the real Burnes...I’d be totally fine with Kopech and Kelly. I’m down on Kopech more than most just because I feel like there is a ton of risk involved with him at this point...but if Burnes is 2020 Burnes the Sox are an incredibly dangerous, and he’s part of the core for 3-4 years.

I guess what gives me hope is the fact that @Harold's Leg Lifthasn’t shot it down, @Y2Jimmy0mentioned him as a target and Al’s has said they are interested.

I'd love the idea of managing to nab him without giving up Kopech (I am likely Madrigal's #1 supporter here but in this case I'd drive him to the airport, provided we could nab Wong or LaStella in his place). With Lynn gone after this year, we have Kopech/Cease/Crochet all waiting in the wings to prove themselves (with Katz on board). If either, let alone multiple of those guys reach their potential we could be in REALLY good shape with Burnes also aboard. And if only the Sox had the balls to go all out... Bauer, Gio, Lynn(Kopech/Cease/Crochet in 2022), Keuchel, Burnes. With a rotation like that we could all have a commemorative Soxtalk circle jerk.
