Brewers refuse. Milwaukee would want MLB ready pitching in return when they trade Burnes. Watkins is struggling in the minors and needs to show he can pitch at the big league level. The lack of pitching returning makes this an easy no for the Brewers. The very last thing they would want in any trade for Burnes is another prospect OF. I like Mayo, but he’s no help until at least next year. Losing Burnes for such a weak return would make the Brewers much, much worse at a time they are trying to compete for a very winnable NL Central title.
