Now that the Milwaukee Brewers' season is over, it's time to ramp up speculation about where Corbin Burnes might get traded this offseason.
Perhaps some skepticism is warranted here. Burnes has been at the center of trade speculation before, yet none of it ever went anywhere. It's as if the Brewers understand the value of keeping a Cy Young Award-winning hurler for themselves.
And yet, the two sides have long seemed headed for an inevitable breakup. Extension talks have been nonexistent and, much to the 28-year-old's chagrin, it was the Brewers who won a contentious arbitration hearing in February.
