Corbin Burnes: Is He REALLY Out of Boston's Reach? Or Is This a Smokescreen?

The Red Sox are reportedly “hesitant” to spend big on Corbin Burnes. Does anyone else find this a little suspicious? They’ve been very vocal about wanting a top-tier starter, and now that Fried and Snell are gone, Burnes is the clear prize. Are they playing coy to drive down the price? Or are they genuinely concerned about his long-term durability? Perhaps they have a different ace up their sleeve?

If Burnes doesn't land in Boston, what's their next move? Pivetta feels like a consolation prize, not a solution. Are they banking on a trade for someone like Crochet or Cease? Is Buehler a realistic target? What other under-the-radar options could they be considering?

The Blue Jays and Giants are reportedly the frontrunners. Can the Giants really afford Burnes after their Adames signing? Are the Jays truly all-in, or will their recent moves prevent them from offering a top-dollar deal? Which team presents the best fit for Burnes' skills and personality?

Let's hear your bold predictions: Where does Burnes end up, and what's the ripple effect across the league? Is this a make-or-break offseason for the Red Sox, or can they still contend without a true ace?
