The Milwaukee Brewers are considering a potential trade involving right-hander Corbin Burnes, but it is unclear if a deal will be made. The Brewers have engaged with other teams about Burnes, but rival clubs believe he is likely to stay in Milwaukee. The Brewers are in a difficult position, as trading Burnes would weaken their strong rotation, but holding onto him carries the risk of injury and losing him for nothing in free agency. Burnes is projected to have a salary of $15.1MM next year and has been connected to teams like the Dodgers, Cubs, and Orioles.
