Would the Brewers be better off as sellers for the long-term competitiveness of the franchise?

Barring Burnes going on some kind of run over the next two months, I don’t see anybody overpaying for him at the deadline.

There are 114 pitchers with at least 40 IP so far this year, here’s how Corbin stacks up…

63.2 IP (20th) | 84 ERA- (41st) | 105 FIP- (71st) | 99 K%+ (54th) | 102 BB%+ (74th) | 109 HR9+ (67th) | 84 BABIP+ (13th)

That’s essentially the line of an innings eater that has gotten some batted ball luck.

Kind of insane that Burnes has gone from putting up a Pedro FIP in 2021 with elite across the board 153 K%+ | 58 BB%+ | 31 HR9+ to where he is at now.

If he were dealt at the deadline, I think it’d be more of an underwhelming to fan expectations Hader type return than any kind of overpay.

Yeah, I guess I do see him improving his performance between now and then, but if not then he’s still worth more than Giolito or Lynn or any other starter that would be available, imo.
