I know I shouldn’t, but I kind of love this trade for both teams. Honestly feels kind of fair. Brewers are gonna tear down soon I think and Painter would be a nice addition to restart. Phillies see their window now (hence their payroll) and Burnes would be very helpful this year and next. They may even extend him.
They Brewers have a very good shot at winning the very weak Central division. They are NOT going to tank and trade Burnes for somebody who won’t help this year and who knows about 2024. This might have a chance of happening after the season is over, but certainly not now.
