OTM Open Thread 11/12: Mr. Burnes
Briefly

Nick Pivetta almost certainly won't accept the qualifying offer from the Red Sox. He is projected to secure one of the biggest deals for a starter this winter.
The Red Sox may have correctly assessed the market if multiple teams are interested in Nick Pivetta. The question remains, 'Why not us?' if he indeed delivers valuable performances.
Pivetta's potential is still intriguing, but the consistency of his performance raises doubts. His good qualities linger, but are they likely to manifest regularly?
If Pivetta signs with a new team and consistently pitches at his best, it would benefit both him and the signing team. Otherwise, the Sox could aim for a top-tier pitcher.
