MLB Insider: 3 way-too-early MLB offseason trade candidates

MLB offseason trade candidate: Corbin Burnes, Milwaukee Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers wanted to avoid another Josh Hader situation and made it clear that they would not trade Corbin Burnes at the trade deadline.

Next season, however, Burnes will be entering a contract year and could be too expensive for the Brewers to keep long-term. Subsequently, a trade becomes much more realistic to imagine.

The Brewers could get a substantial haul in return for the right-hander, who has established himself as one of the best pitchers in baseball, and is something that the organization will likely explore.

That last part is just my speculation, but it adds up considering that the Brewers moved Hader with 1.5 years remaining on his contract. It’s something to monitor heading into the offseason as Milwaukee weighs their options and what’s best for the future of the organization involving Burnes.
