If the season ended today and Burly was a free agent
How much could he get? At 26, he should be coming up on his prime years. 4 years/40 million, maybe. Maybe more from a team that really spends. Elite hitters, like he's currently producing, don't grow on trees. The Cardinals are very fortunate with his current contract status. Please, only respectful, sincere posters reply.

I'm going to need the thoughts of Honky Tonk Man before I opine. I'm sure he'll be here soon to agree with you

Why not knock it off with the socks and repetitive threads? Oh, that's right...... attention.

For his career, he’s at 38 HR and 0.8 fWAR… and heading into FA? That’s probably a non-roster invite to spring training.Shady wrote: ↑21 Jun 2025 20:34 pm How much could he get?

I understand that CT is a great place to post and debate “hypothetical” situations like trades, FA’s, etc that COULD ACTUALLY HAPPEN.
Since Burleson DOESN’T become a Free Agent until 2029 WHAT IS THE POINT?

Re: If the season ended today and Burly was a free agent
The point being, Burleson is currently producing at an elite level. The way professional baseball hitters do to get multi-million dollar contracts. I don't need to promote him any more. He has made me look like a genius by projecting the type of hitter he has become. Much to the chagrin of a multitude of harsh critics. I'm out for a while. Burleson's outstanding hitting has vindicated me.

And he has been tearing it up.
I’m rooting big time for him to continue.
And what makes you think every other poster doesn’t feel the same way?
“Vindicated”?
Seriously? Is that the reason for the obsessive repetitive posts?

Re: If the season ended today and Burly was a free agent
Elite? He’s like 40th in OPS right now and even worse in HRs and RBIs, he’s in the 100-120th in baseball in HRs and RBIs. I would calm down a little bit. It’s nice, he’s doing well. He did well last year, too, at some points and had a similar OPS to what he has right now and still finished with a very average season.Shady wrote: ↑21 Jun 2025 22:54 pmThe point being, Burleson is currently producing at an elite level.

Enjoy it, but I would hold on with the exaggerations.
