Padres Interested In Corbin Burnes
1 year agoThe San Diego Padres are reportedly interested in acquiring right-hander Corbin Burnes from the Milwaukee Brewers. Adding pitching is one of the Padres' top priorities of the offseason with the team moving on from Nick Martinez, Michael Wacha, Seth Lugo and National League Cy Young winner Blake Snell. Burnes won the 2021 NL Cy Young. San Diego is intent on adding several starting pitchers this offseason, even if they don't end up trading outfielder Juan Soto. The 29-year-old Burnes would essentially be replacing Snell and would still give the Padres a formidable trio of starters alongside Yu Darvish and Joe Musgrove. The Padres could also choose to re-sign Lugo, although his price tag is probably a little too rich after a breakout season in 2023 as a full-time starter.
