Ideal 40 man moves:

Sign a reliever, sign Grichuck, sign Roki Sasaki.

Trade Montgomery/Kelly and an OF for a closer.

Go with a 6 man rotation initially while Roki gets up to American speed.

I think the Burns trade puts pressure on Gallen to sign a fair deal, if not he is the one I am trading and keeping Kelly on a team friendly deal.

If the Dbacks have to pay a portion of Monty's trash salary then they need to get something in return like a DH or BP arm

With the #Dbacks officially signing Corbin Burnes, Arizona has forfeited their second-round pick and the #Orioles have received a compensation selection after the first round (No. 30 overall).

Interesting on that list, they have Pfaadt as our #4 over E-Rod, Montgomery, and Nelson.

110 is elite level pitcher and they have Pfaadt at 108 this year.

This is why he is not going to the bullpen.

@AZSports

Corbin Burnes' agent, Scott Boras, is also Zac Gallen's agent.
"When I called Zac to tell him I was joining Corbin, I probably have never have heard him more excited," Boras said."I've heard it from so many other teams, that Arizona is now a subject of concern, a real subject of concern."

Maybe we are keeping Zach too

It's wild we are suddenly a destination for Boras clients. I was concerned after the Montgomery disaster where Boras was fired but right now he seems to like our GM.

Maybe Boras learned a lesson as well. Blake Snell held out and had a subpar season (another Boras Client) and signed early this year. A starting pitcher holding out and missing spring training is going to bite the player on the butt more often than not.
