Scott Boras will defend Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Corbin Burnes. Indeed, Burnes hired the firm BorasCorp to represent him for future negotiations.
We must not forget that Burnes will be a free agent after the 2024 season.
Full-bodied discussions
The discussions between the Burnes clan and the Brewers are likely to be rather full-bodied.
Last year, despite statistics worthy of a pitcher who could have won the Cy Young, Burnes saw the Brewers go to arbitration with his contract for a paltry discrepancy.
The 2021 Cy Young Trophy winner was asking for $10.75M while the Brewers offered him $10.01M.
As colleague Charles-Alexis Brisebois put it: “He finally lost his case, but the real problem is this: to save less than a million dollars with one of the best pitchers in the league, the club destroyed at two years of autonomy. »
Let’s bet that Scott Boras will not want to silly too long if he feels Burnes can win elsewhere.
Until then, he will be very useful to the Brewers, who can carve out a place in the playoffs this year, if everyone rows in the same direction.
