Legit shot at a batting title. Currently at .314, Freeman leads NL at .319. Overall stats very impressive, MVP candidate for sure.

[Tbadder]

Just give me this kind of trade once every two years. Young controllable talent, better than sex, drugs, and rock n roll!

[superfly]

Meanwhile Brinson batting .185, worse avg than Arcia if thats even possible. Hug those prospects....what a steal.

[rickh150]

Yamamoto doing well..... promoted to AA a little while back.

[rickh150]

Harrison is Marlins' #1 prospect, according to Pipeline..... 163 Ks in 386 AB... WOW! Hitting 236

[brooks_quichenick]

Yamamoto doing well..... promoted to AA a little while back.

 

Wow, yea he really is having a hell of a year. Could end up being the best part of that deal for Miami

Lol so Monte Harrison is still a Top 100 guy to them, but Corey Ray isn’t?

I’d have to imagine that will correct itself. If Corey keeps this up he’ll be top 50 without a doubt In the offseason list.

MLB.com already partially overhauled their Top 100 and Monte Harrison survived it.

I want the Marlins to be made whole because of how great Yelich has been for us but man...215 strikeouts!

[istanbultaye]

Not a great year at AA, but he's only 22. Still plenty of time for all of the guys the Brewers sent them to help them out over the next several years.

[Yolk]

The only player that hurt to see go at the time, for me, was Isan Diaz. I always hoped we'd trade Monte for something before he flamed out.

Although I did expect at least a bit more out of Brinson.

 

Anyway, Yelich is that dude and well worth it even if those guys were all having good seasons.

[TooLiveBrew]

Call it a hunch, but something tells me this trade might wind up working out ok for the Brewers & David Stearns.

[phnxcrew]

How bout we add Brantley and push Yelich to the three hole? Then he’ll “deserve” the mvp once he has rbis

Yeah, that was high quality January baseball reading right there. Hot takes just flying.

 

Obviously there were people who loved the deal, and people who hated it. Hopefully those who hated it, or were extremely upset by the prospects we gave up, have come around. Yelich truly has proven to be a special player.

The MLBTradeRumors comment section used to be "good" for a an internet comment section but has really turned to crap the last couple years especially on posts regarding the big market teams. I skimmed the Yelich trade comments and it's 99% Cubs fans/trolls talking crap about how bad the Brewers are and will be.

 

I love this.

[Montezuma]

Quality reads by those "in the know" and true experts on value in the MLB

[SRB]

Yelich has played so well that this trade would have been a "win" even if he was a rental and Brinson had been good. The fact that we have Yelich for the entire prime of his career is insane!

[KCBrewerfan34]

1 year in this trade is a GS and if DS can follow up this off season we may go on a run.

While I wasn't one who hated the deal I didn't love it either. I was skeptical the overall value was going to be in our favor. It's still to early to know that but Yelich has produced so well now that even if the value slants in their favor down the road I am fine with the trade. Sometimes the timing matters as much as overall value.

I cant imagine anyone disliking the deal now. Look at this way. We could (but definitely wont) trade Yelich this offseason and get a much better return than what we gave up and we would have had a year of Yelich. It seems like DS and his staff knew which players to sell high on in this deal. Yelich has been so much fun to watch. We are looking at a guy who should have a batting average above .300, hit 30 hrs and steal 20 bases while sporting .380 plus obp. That isnt a very common stat line.

 

I think Baez will win MVP but Yelich will be right there. Crazy to even try to pick between he and Cain right now

[homer]

Since the all star game, Christian Yelich is...

 

4th in BA (.343)

1st in SLG (.700)

3rd in OPS (1.106)

3rd in ISO (.357)

[coolhandluke121]

Yeah but he needed that one day off...
