Not sure they would want him. They need pitching but they may have better internal options.

Burnett's 155-150 for his career, with a 4.04 ERA, a 3.90 FIP, and a 103 ERA+.

Over the last 5 seasons, he's 55-65, with a 4.35 ERA, 4.01 FIP and a 90 ERA+.

He pitches next year at 38. And I hate his face.

And I'd be surprised if an expensive veteran isn't moved, maybe a few

What ever happened to that German guy that we signed?

Pretty much all the same trade possibilities they had at the deadline. Hopefully something happens this time.

Buster Olney has really been taking his shots at the Phillies on his twitter. Wonder if he's getting some sort of smug shoulder.
