Brewers 'Open to More Conversations' on Trades After Corbin Burnes Deal, GM Says

After trading away starting pitcher Corbin Burnes on Thursday, Milwaukee Brewers general manager Matt Arnold said the team could be open to making more moves, per MLB.com's Adam McCalvy.

The Brewers dealt Burnes to the Baltimore Oriels for infielder Joey Ortiz, who is the No. 90 player on Bleacher Report's Top 100 MLB Prospects. According to McCalvy, Arnold said there could be more deals coming before the end of the offseason.

"I'm certainly open to more conversations," Arnold said. "I certainly wouldn't shut any conversations down at this point in the offseason."

The Brewers are coming off a 92-70 season where they were eliminated from the postseason in the Wild Card Series by the Arizona Diamondbacks. With Spring Training less than two weeks away, it seems Arnold is looking for some late-offseason deals to yield better results in 2024.

One trade that Arnold might be willing to make could involve Devin Williams. Per MLB.com's Mark Feinsand, the Brewers could be open to a trade for the right-handed closer, who has two years of club control remaining before he enters free agency. Feinsand also reported that shortstop Willy Adames could be another player Milwaukee is interested in dealing.

Last season, the 29-year-old Williams had 61 appearances, picking up 36 saves behind 87 strikeouts and a 1.53 ERA. Adames, who is 28, hit at a .217 clip, notching 24 home runs and 80 RBIs.

It's not clear whether Arnold has any particular trades in mind, but it won't be a surprise to see the Brewers making a few more deals before the end of the offseason.
