MILWAUKEE, WI (WSAU) – As the MLB trade deadline approaches, it appears that the Milwaukee Brewers will not be looking to trade stars such as Corbin Burnes.
“From what I’ve heard, that won’t happen,” pitcher Corbin Burnes said of a possible sell-off, per Jon Heyman of the New York Post. “I’ve heard we’re actually trying to win baseball games. I think a lot of people probably know that wasn’t the best thing to do last year after the way the year finished.”
According to Heyman’s story from June, Milwaukee does not intend to trade any players at the deadline this season, unlike last season when they made the controversial trade of Josh Hader to the San Diego Padres.
Burnes, whose contract runs through 2024, was singled out in the report as someone who “isn’t going anywhere.”
Milwaukee is 49-42 on the year and is one game behind the Cincinnati Reds in the National League Central standings.
