Burns puts us at 37 of 40. Seems like 3 more moves coming
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.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.

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 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.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.
