Milwaukee Brewers fans react to disgruntled statements from team's ace Corbin Burnes: "I hate this team. And I hate myself for rooting for them"

The Milwaukee Brewers and Corbin Burnes are not off to a good start this season. The two sides had their salary arbitration hearing on Wednesday, which Burnes eventually lost. Burnes requested a salary of $10.75 million in 2023, but will only be paid $10.01 million.Arbitration hearings are almost always awkward. You have a player explaining why they deserve that amount of money and the player's front office arguing why the player shouldn't. This could lead to a conflict between the player and the front office, which appears to be what happened here.Adam McCalvy@AdamMcCalvyEvery fear that going to an arbitration hearing against Corbin Burnes could harm his relationship with the Brewers was founded. “There’s no denying that the relationship is definitely hurt from what [transpired],” Burnes said.2549254Every fear that going to an arbitration hearing against Corbin Burnes could harm his relationship with the Brewers was founded. “There’s no denying that the relationship is definitely hurt from what [transpired],” Burnes said. https://t.co/Xv8DFyiKdeIt definitely seems like there was some love lost this week. Burnes felt a bit disrespected by the way the team viewed his work. He thinks he means a lot more to the team than what they see.You can't blame him, either. Corbin Burnes has consistently been a core member of the Milwaukee Brewers. Any success they have seen in the last three years, Burnes has been a big part of it.&quot;I hate this team.

Brewers were never, and are never, going to pay a pitcher his caliber what he's worth for a long term deal, and even if we're leading the division, they will trade him to get some value instead of losing him the moment the season is over.341@AdamMcCalvy He's 100% getting traded this year.

They don't see him being a Brewer for much longer.Tim Ochnikowski@AllSportsNut@AdamMcCalvy There are often two sides to an issue. That said, no matter which side you agree with here, this is not, in my opinion, the best way to start a season where you hope to make the playoffs and win a championship. #ThisIsMyCrew4@AdamMcCalvy There are often two sides to an issue.

No chance of signing him before and probably less now, as no way would take some sort of hometown discount8@AdamMcCalvy Probably should just trade him sooner than later.

All it takes is one arbitration hearing for a relationship to be ruined forever.Can Corbin Burnes and the Milwaukee Brewers work things out?Milwaukee Brewers v Arizona DiamondbacksCorbin Burnes is set to become a free agent in 2024. He'll be one of the top arms in that class.Since transitioning to a starter, Burnes has been more than dominant. He's posted a career 2.62 ERA while averaging an impressive 11.7 K/9. He led the league in games started (33) and strikeouts (243) last season.Teams in the National League Central wouldn't mind seeing Burnes and the Brewers split. He's been a thorn in teams like the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals.It will be interesting to see how this season plays out for both the Brewers and Burnes. Will he be with the team the entire season, or will the team look to dish him out at the trade deadline? Will they trade him if they're playoff contenders?
