The Astros land pitcher Mike Burrows in a three-team deal with the Pirates, continuing a trend of low-risk pitching bets. Jason Bristol and Jeremy Booth break down what the trade says about Houston’s current trade capital, then zoom out to a bigger picture conversation: Is MLB intentionally shifting player development costs to college baseball?
The discussion touches on draft contraction, minor league reductions, NIL, analytics-driven decision making, and how the next CBA could further reshape the path to the big leagues.
