“He means a ton to our team and regardless of the outcome, we want to treat our players exceptionally well,” Brewers GM Matt Arnold said Wednesday afternoon as the sides awaited a ruling. “Corbin has been a leader for our franchise. He has been a pillar for the community. He has done everything you could possibly ask and beyond.
Are you kidding me. Both sides negotiated till the deadline assuming they must have known each sides numbers. So for a $740,000 difference you going to upset a top 3 player on the
team. ( I understand finances can be tight when settling numbers overall , but a top 3 player on the team over that amount ?????)
If he is a leader of the team as Arnold stated above. Then way to show the clubhouse how you will treat one of the best players on the team and leader let alone them over such a small amount in the grand scheme of things. To verbal dress him down in an arby hearing (where he is sitting right there) over less than a million difference???
Goodluck having him take a club friendly pay structure deal with salary deferments.
If I were Corbin, I'd tell the Brewers to pound sand on any future extensions unless they paid top starter price, play out my arby years waiting to be traded or get out ASAP afterwards
