Brewers say no thanks. For the Brewers to sell this low on Burnes, they would be looking for a lot better pitching than just Festa when they trade Burnes. Julian is a 2B/OF and Milwaukee is covered well in both positions.
I think you are underrating Festa, and Julien’s bat (as far as his chase rate) is elite, like Juan Soto levels as far as not chasing pitches out of the zone.
I don’t know that the Twins do this either, especially with Burnes only having one year of team control and is set for a mega payday after 2024.

Just a fun thought experiment.
