It is the end of an era for the Milwaukee Brewers, as they finally split ways with star pitcher Corbin Burnes via a trade on Thursday with the Baltimore Orioles. It’s tough for the Brewers and their fans to see such a talented pitching weapon go, but Milwaukee felt it was the right time to make the move, believing that the club won’t be able to retain his services beyond the 2024 MLB season if they held on to him.
Milwaukee Brewers Bid Goodbye to Corbin Burnes
In any case, the Brewers will surely not soon forget the fun times they had with Burnes.
“A true privilege to watch this man pitch. Thank you for six remarkable seasons, Corbin,” the Brewers’ official X (formerly Twitter) account posted along with images of Burnes in Milwaukee uniform.

In what turned out to be the last time Burnes pitched for the Milwaukee Brewers, he went four innings long and allowed four earned runs on five hits and five strikeouts in a 6-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks in the wild-card round of the 2023 MLB playoffs. While that’s not exactly an ideal farewell game of sorts for Burnes in Milwaukee, he will always be remembered as a fierce competitor and a dangerous pitcher for opposing teams during his time with the Brewers.
In 167 appearances and 106 starts for the Brewers, Burnes went 45-27 with a 3.26 ERA and 1.055 WHIP. He also won the Cy Young Award in 2021 and got three All-Star selections as a Brewer.
