I can see the thinking, based on other moves that the team has made in the past.
For me, getting someone similar to Pablo (maybe an extra year of team control, probably another tier to get to) would be someone like Mitch Keller or Dylan Cease. I could very much be swayed into trying for Nestor Cortes as well, and he MIGHT be available if the Yankees do end up signing someone like Blake Snell.
That said, I'd be all over adding Burnes for 2024 if he is attainable.
Is there someone more in that range that you like?
