Two bold Milwaukee Brewers predictions provided by a MLB Insider (MLB News). 

During this off-season, there have been conflicting reports about the Milwaukee Brewers’ willingness to trade Corbin Burnes. Initially, a trade appeared likely, but over time, there has been a shift in sentiment suggesting that Burnes might remain with the team. Jon Heyman, in his Bleacher Report live segment, emphasized the increased probability of Burnes staying put in Milwaukee. It’s possible that Burnes’ recent statements expressing reluctance towards a trade or contract extension may have dissuaded some interested teams. Additionally, Milwaukee’s high asking price might be deterring potential suitors, particularly if they’re hesitant to give up multiple players for just one year of Burnes on the pitching mound.

Heyman also mentioned the likelihood of the Brewers winning the National League Central in 2024. He highlighted how Milwaukee hasn’t engaged in a spree of player signings like the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds have. Despite this, Heyman believes that retaining Burnes, coupled with the team’s history of success, will position them as strong contenders in the division.

Furthermore, Heyman discussed the departure of Craig Counsell to the Chicago Cubs. He expressed his positive view of the Brewers’ managerial hiring in Pat Murphy. Lastly, he pointed out the lack of signings by the Cubs this winter, despite having given out the largest managerial contract in MLB history. Heyman used these observations to reinforce his prediction of the Brewers clinching the division title in 2024.
