The fallout between the Brewers and Corbin Burnes is the worst nightmare of any team going into the arbitration process with their star player — a nightmare the Guardians are thankfully very good at avoiding.
Burnes, speaking with the media shortly after he lost his arbitration case against the Brewers, said the relationship between him and his team is “definitely hurt” from the whole process.
There’s no denying that the relationship is definitely hurt from what transpired over the last couple weeks. There’s really no way getting around that. Obviously, we’re professionals, and we’re going to go out there and do our job, keep doing what I can every fifth day that I go out there.
