#Dodgers Mookie Betts said his trip to Driveline was because “my employed told me to” and that trip resulted in them telling him to add more strength so he came in stronger this year, weighing about 8 more pounds than he did last season.

Corbin Burnes said the Brewers made him a two-year offer a day or two before the hearing that was “pretty poor.” That, he said, was the only mention so far of any sort of multi-year deal.

more from burnes…

• “Just as far as the whole thing, on our perspective and our end of it, it was more that we were just kind of disappointed with how it went,” said Burnes, who is represented by CAA Sports. “The Brewers never really made a real attempt to try to come to a deal to avoid a hearing, at least from our perspective. From our end, they just never really made that solid attempt to try to avoid a hearing. And even up until days before, there were some phone calls back and forth and basically it just came out that we were going to end up going to hearing. That’s how it ended.”
