What are your thoughts?

Well I’m an avid brewers fan from Wisconsin and when I saw that we actually went to court over 750k against our best player BY FAR, I was pissed off. He is so consistent, nasty, and will now leave since our management is idiotic. We love you Burnsey. Thank you for being so reliable and electric 🔥🔥

They’ll complain about Burnes but not talk about how Yelich was basically a no show compared to his mvp seasons. Now he makes a ton and is a wash. Probably was cheating and now gets a ton of cash. That’s who they should be looking at for their struggles. I hope Burnes goes to a team that actually appreciates him.

As a Brewers fan I’m sick and tired of our cheap ass ownership

Burnes is currently my favorite pitcher in all of baseball. Very likeable, down to earth and fun to watch. Hard not to root for the guy.

It shows the league and fans this organization is committed to winning...in court.

I’ve just been getting into baseball and I have to say your channel is a holy grail for learning about the league and players etc, it’s invaluable. And then add in the fact that you do near daily uploads. Thank you so much for making it easier to get into the sport

If the Mets get him I’m officially scared again as a Phillies fan

better to be pissed off than pissed on

If I were Corbin Burnes, after losing this arbitration case I would tell the Brewers that from here on out I will negotiate NOTHING, I will play out my contract and go free agent. If this forces a trade, so be it! The issue is that if I am a player of the caliber of Burnes and you diss me over $750k, I am done, I am gone, and free agency here I come!

For a difference of $750k, I always use the Solomon approach. Split the difference halfway and settle to avoid the arbitration hearing (for the very reasons you see here). Should either side be upset over $375K not to settle? That's less than the minimum wage. That's just good business. The Brewers are a small-market team and I get that they have to control spending but they have to do a better job of salary valuation than to fight over such a small amount.

There is a difference between what each side goes into arbitration with vs what they were negotiating previously. Just for round number examples: Burns might have been asking for say 15 million, while the brewers were only offering 8 million. Once it gets to arbitration, both sides generally move their mark closer to the middle in hopes that the arbitor will side with them. At the end of the day the two sides moved closer to the middle and it was only a 750k difference that the arbitor had to decide between.

I love these short, one topic videos.

Arbitration hearings are famous for this. Welcome to the big leagues kid. Dellin Betances was brought to tears by what the Yankees said about him during his hearing.

The amount of fire Burnes will be pitching against the brewers with in 2 years will be unreal.

Based upon how arbitration works Burnes was saying his free agency value is about $44 million a year and the Brewers were like, no his free agency value is only $40 million a year. Arbitration happens in years 4,5, and 6 of a players being in the MLB. where as in year 4 it is 1/8 of their free agency value, year 5 is about 1/4 of their free agency value, and year 6 is half their free agency value, but each year is based upon what they made in their previous arbitration agreement, so the more money you made the year before the more you will make this year. If arbitration is mediated, then the player gets either the amount they want, or the amount the team wants, but until the arbitration deadline the player and team can make a deal somewhere in between. Burnes was arguing not just for this years pay, but also next years.

something tells me that just as much as milwaukee is not interested in winning him in a bidding war for his free agency in 2024/25, corbin burnes himself is committed to reaching the open market as well. the only question I got when milwaukee eventually trades him because they don’t want to lose him for nothing : (1) will they trade him along with a positive asset (adames) in order to increase the prospect haul for him ? OR (2) will they use his trade as an opportunity to offload a negative asset (yelich) and shed payroll ? at the same time, teams can argue … if milwaukee is demanding the moon for him and/or forcing the receiving team to take on yelich’s contract, then why didn’t they think he was worth the extra 750K they fought with him during the arbitration hearing ?

Arbitration hearings remind me of when you sell a car and the person that wants to buy it tells you it's a piece of crap and makes you a lowball offer. And as we know they're just doing that to get a better price because if it were a piece of crap why would they buy in the first place

Make him a Dodger!!!

Sounds like Uncle Steve Cohen might need to come in and show Mr Burnes how much he will be loved and appreciated with the Mets!!!!

Tl;Dr, Brewers are more serious about winning arbitration hearings than they are about winning titles. All teams do arbitration regularly, but fron what I hear the Brewers went out of their way to paint him in a bad light.

The Brewers' owner has to do this. If you give in to Corbin Burnes' demands, it means more money in arbitration next year and sets a precedent for other players in their organization to possibly command more money. The arbitration system is stupid, but it's also not like the Brewers were going to pay Burnes to stick around after 2024. He's probably not a Brewer this time next year.

I really like Corbin Burnes but hate the Brewers. So they should trade him :)

Glad to see your getting more subscribers. Keep up the good work

Every team does this in arbitration, even the Mets.

Well that sucks

The utter contempt you have to have for a player in order to falsely blame him for the team’s shortcomings when he had the best pitching season of his career is such a “I have my head up my ass and refuse to take it out” mentality of stubbornness.

If the angels taught me anything about this sport, its that you can have the best player or in their case players in your lineup and still not get the job done, because its a team sport and it takes more than just 1 or 2 players to be contenders. The brewers organization blaming their ace is ridiculous to me, if they can just spend some money get some run support that team could be scary. But instead they blame and drive their most talented players away. Im a cubs fan it still makes me sick seeing good players disrespected for “not carrying enough”

Baseballs Not Dead did a great video on why teams fight over not that much money in arbitration and it makes a lot of sense as to why they do. Now to blame Burnes for not making the playoffs was the wrong way to go about the arbitration hearing

Steve Cohen entered the chat...

Come to St. Louis Corbin and help us win another championship!!!

From what I understand about arbitration it isn’t just them arguing over 750k… it’s a much more in depth reasoning for both sides I thought

I know he meant "transpired" instead of "perspired", but now the whole fanbase is definitely sweating.

Will admit Corbin has gone ions beyond earlier expectations the past 2 years.

I'd typically say its business not personal and I completely understand owners treating their organization as a business because thata what it is AND I also understand the painful unfortunate situation with arbitration hearings but it baffles me when an owner can't make an exception for one of their most valuable players. Ok fine, don't give an average player that extra $750K but for yoir upper echelon players this never makes sense. Its an investment cost that is easily justifiable especially for a team in a market where its difficult to attract free agents.

I feel like the mlb owners are taking out their anger over the strike last year with how bad the arbitration process has been for multiple players. Brady singer lost his case after carrying the royals staff. Total difference in pay was 300k. Ryan helsey with the cards, 500k difference after being receiving cy young votes.

“The relationship is hurt over what perspired” Lol.

As a Cubs fan, I’m glad.

Not to mention the fact that the Brewers ownership group will be receiving $290 million when they agree to keep their lease with Miller Park/AmFam Field through 2043. As a Brewers fan it is just frustrating being in the never ending cycle of being bad then being good but not good enough. Our ownership is becoming cheaper and cheaper and of course the guy who is supposed to lead the team on offense is a shell of himself and will never be back to what he was. Pain

I'm wondering how much of this can be attributed to their agents.

Let's not forget, our owner said that big things were coming this offseason. I don't think C-level trades and angering our best pitcher are considered "big things."

He's going to look great in a Jays uni

There was a great video about arbitration by "Baseball's not dead". It's such a complex system that makes fighting for such small margins pretty important for the owners.

Brewers need new ownership asap. Attanasio is a rich enough guy, but their plan of "being competitive every year" as they claimed when Hader was dealt won't work if we can't keep our best players because we're too cheap. It's only be sheer blind luck that the trade tree now has William Contreras on it, and we just have to hope Robert Gasser is the next Burnes. He's put money into Norwich (english soccer for those who dont know) and wants to put more in, so he's obviously seen the financial opportunity there and gives no shits about putting anything into the Brewers. The state of Wisconsin are planning to spend $300m fixing the stadium and extending the lease, but what would the point of that be if the team just becomes a bottom feeder. I get it, there's a budget, I get it, you threw money at Yelich (at the time, nobody cared) and it's been set on fire, and I totally get it when you're on a budget you dont want to spend 20m+ on a closer so you have to try and cash in, but a Cy Young level pitcher that you drafted yourselves? Just pay him. It's just so incredibly stupid to have even gone this far with Burnes. Lowball everybody else, and just pay this guy whatever he wants for 10 years. But no, we'll end up with another Rodgers, another Lamet, another Gasser and another Ruiz from one of the teams that actually pay. It won't be Steve Cohen tho, he'll replace Kershaw in LA, we'll get 5 bums for him. Woop.

if the angels wanna do something for once that would be cool (im a guardians fan)

They should be blaming literally anyone else. Burnes literally Carried the team 🤓! Especially in the second half when they Fell Apart 🤓!

I think burnes might leave with another situation like this

Whet the Brewers did was simple after this sham of a hearing. The owner took a bat and swung at his head while the GM took a swing at his knee caps. They did that knowing full well he’s been their best pitcher in franchise history. As a brewers fan I’m disgusted

I think the brewers planned this thing to trade him and make others fight for him.

I feel bad for Brewer's fans who probably are screaming into the abyss. The management literally showed their hands and thought keeping $750K was worth more than trying to keep Burnes happy. Good luck in trying to get him to stay after the 2024 season if the Brewers decide to keep him for that time.

As a Brewers fan, to think Burnes is the reason the Crew didn’t make the postseason is laughable… they were a first place team at the deadline and traded Josh Hader for some prospects who may or may not pan out as opposed to getting some bats for fixing that inconsistent offense… I will still go to games as they don’t cost that much, but it was nice seeing some good baseball in this town for a few years

It’s insane to think Joey Gallo will be paid more this season than Corbin

I wonder what they said, who gonna get Corbin burns next ? They are about get an ace

Unfortunately, how little MKE values their players and clubhouse was the story all year. If they see a way to save or make money, they will jump at a bargain. The Hader trade destroyed moral, productivity, and almost destroyed Hader in the process. THAT was the biggest reason they didn't make the play-offs. No question. The DFA of Cain didn't help either, yes, his productivity had plummeted, but he was popular, loved, and experienced- he wasn't just A clubhouse guy, he was THE clubhouse guy. When Yellich signed his long contract at the height of his value he truthfully said he could have gotten more money by signing elsewhere, but he loved the Milwaukee system so much and felt so valued, he took the cut to stay there. Just a few short years later, NO ONE would say that now.

Perspired 😂

"...by what perspired over the last couple of weeks." Some really sweaty negotiations, eh?

He will be on the Dodgers or Yankees sometime soon!

Not court lol just a meeting between the player, agent, GM, and an Arbitrator. Basically they both get like 30mins to make a statement and then 30mins to rebuttal then the arbitrator makes a decision. Boras has said that Cole leaving HOU was a guarantee because of how bad the Arb was smh

Let's hope some sort of trade happens and the giants can grab him or in gree agency

well this guy became free agent 100%

just came back here after burnes hired boras. the chances of him leaving milwaukee went from 90% to 99.9%.

Is Chaim Bloom secretly running the Brewer’s front office too?

I love it!

I want him to get a ring so I agree with trading him

Dude will look good in Dodger Blue

Yes. Come home and play for the dodgers! He knows he wants to play for the team he grew up rooting for. This town suxs but he can bring a little joy to it in my book and that is a great thing . I am a brewers fan eveey time he pitches and that needs to stop.

If so, he's still set for life regardless!

Wait a minute, what did I just hear? Man sometimes you wonder what teams need to “get over the hump” seems like upper management for the brewers

I feel like every video that subscribe vs not subscribed number gets better and better. Or am I the only one who pays attention to that?

I love being a Brewer fan.

Come to the Bronx pa

Feel like Houston is gonna get him at the deadline

Future Astro, Yankee, or Dodger

Can't wait to see him in a Braves uniform 🥰

Perhaps a Padres Trade ?… 😁

What a difference between the brewers and the Mets.

Future padre.

As a Cubs fan, I look forward to when he isn't with them.

Us Angels fans would sure appreciate you, Corbin. You and Shohei. Jus' sayin'...

As a Yankees fan we should trade for him and give them Frankie Montas and a bag of chips in return.

Yeah he’s getting traded at the Deadline. If Uncle Steve were to pick him up via Trade, that trio of Burnes, Scherzer, & Verlander would be Nasty.

I think the Brewers should trade him, and should do it ASAP. If Yelich didn't fall off a cliff, I think we are looking at a really nice 2 year window, in which case it would make sense to keep Burnes and increase the WS odds as much as possible. Given that Yelich is eating up alot of money, and the Brewers seem to finally have some young talent on the horizon, I would rather they turn Burnes into more talented players for when Chourio and CO are up.

Get him to Houston

750K is a lot of money.

I guess had he won you could of made a vid about how a superstar just pissed off the owner

Sell the team Mark!!!!!!!! Done with this fool

This pisses off fans for real.

Corbin to Philly

For those who know about how arbitration works and how teams have hard caps to what they can offer (unless if they want to lose millions each year), nobody should be surprised they didn't move up 750K. Now as for why they didn't agree to a separate deal/extension, that is a bit surprising.

this is kinda normal

ASTRO fan here..long as he doesn't go to the Yankees or the Dodgers..lol

Bo bichette said he was glad he signed his 3 year deal which clears his arbitration years because its dumb as hell because it pits players against the owners and he didn’t want that, this proves that

Future padre Corbin Burnes

Future Met (Pending Physical)

They have basically told him they aren't giving him 200 plus million ever

Sorry, couldn’t hear you from how pissed I was getting at the arrogance of this organization.

Welp we’re gonna lose my favorite player😞😞 I HATE IT HERE

Evidence?

Dear Corbin, You have a home in Toronto, should you ever need to relocate. Sincerely, EVERY Blue Jays fan from here to Jupiter.

I wish the Jays would invest in burnes but i know we are too cheap for it, have fun Mets
