  1. Am I the only one who likes Fried over Burnes? I feel like if you get past the Braves stank he is the better option. Probably less years and money, plus heโ€™s a lefty.

  2. If our offseason ended up being Pete, Santander/Teoscar, Burnes/Fried, Crochet and 2 high leverage relievers, I think most everyone would be extremely happy with that.
