2024 Offseason Rumors

[KCBrewerfan34]

I would be thrilled if we could get Arraez. Would have to play 2B mostly though.

Here is hoping to a couple shortstops getting hurt in spring training from big market teams, get a Willy bidding war going.

What do you think of this as an September rotation  1)Freddy 2)Miley/Misio 3)Ashby/C Rod 4)Gasser/Ross 5)Rae/Hall (or mlb ready prospect from trade for reliever/Miley/Adames/etc)

We piggyback 8 guys as starters (I know crazy) but essentially we would be reducing the young guys innings, getting lots of experience, and putting guys in good situations (harder thrower with lighter/lefty with righty). We would have room for 5 bullpen arms after the rosters expand to take care of 2-ish innings (Uribe, Megill, Payamps, Peguero, Vieira). It would require trading Williams, Milner, Wilson and Clarke at the deadline. OK again crazy but interesting.

24-year old RHP Max Castillo (DFA’d by Boston) may be a reasonable option to replace Janson Junk (if he’s headed to Japan). Decent ground ball rate and WHIP, though lacking top velocity.

It's February 5 and the Padres only have 36 players on their 40-man MLB roster.

Could they be expecting to deal 1 MLB player for 3 MLB players?

How about:

• They re-sign LHP Blake Snell - thus maximizing his contract value, with no team having to give up a draft pick
• To shed salary, they trade RHP Joe Musgrove (or RHP Yu Darvish) to the Brewers for multiple players - e.g. Tyler Black, Bryce Wilson, Blake Perkins

I don't know. Somebody smarter than me can figure out what would constitute a fair trade.

Musgrove has negative value according to BTV.  So if you take his contract you can have him.  It's 4/80.

 

I don't believe that though.  Hard to figure his value since he's coming off of a shoulder injury.

 

Shoulders scare me a lot more than elbows.

God, that would be a really gross trade...Take Black out of any deal involving Musgrove.

Yeah, I think sometimes we under value our own prospects.  Black seems to be a legit Top 50 prospect by most (if not all) the major evaluators.  I don't think we want to be trading him for a guy that currently has a negative value with a big contract, coming off of a shoulder injury.

Thanks. I’m really just trying to figure out how we’ll beef up our starting pitching and opening day payroll.

Was looking at well-paid RHPs who are contractually locked in for several years - e.g. Musgrove, Berrios, Taillon, Walker, Alcantara, Darvish, Javier, etc.

With Ashby, Gasser and Hall (and Miley this year), I figure we’re in promising shape as far as lefty starters go.

[nate82]

I don't think this works but.

Brewers get:

Bryan Woo and River Ryan

Mariners get:

Gavin Lux

Dodgers get:

Devin Williams and Willy Adames

Probably need something else going to the Mariners.

I've long wondered about fully piggy-backed rotations. Six to eight 3-4 inning guys. But that they only get 3 or 4 days of rest.

[jay87shot]

1)M's get Yelich (we pay 4 million a year (20 total)) 

We get Bryan Woo and Mitch Haniger, 

Yelich is a perfect leadoff in Seattle and fills in an OF hole. We get Woo as a longterm piece and Haniger offsets some contract concerns. Haniger can DH and not hinder our young OF  talent. 

2) Adames to SF for 3B/SS Casey Schmitt and P Trevor McDonald

Giants have some money and the need at SS. Schmitt would make a 4 man rotation between 2B, SS, 3B (some 1st or Dh) between Black, Turang, Ortiz, Schmitt. McDonald is a solid Blaylock-like pitching prospect.

3)Elvis Peguaro and Andruw Montesario for Blaze Jordan and lotto prospect.

With too many bullpen options we need to offload someone. I doubt we get an overpay for Williams so wait until mid-season and let Uribe learn. Peguaro and Montesario have the upside to get a high end power bat like Jordan. If we add Schmitt, Monte becomes expendable (unless Owen Miller gets the deal done instead)

4)Bauers and Rae to Tigers for Comp B pick

Not sure we are allowed to trade Rae but adding Woo makes him unessecary, Bauers is in the same boat. The Tigers could use a depth upgrade and a comp B pick is just our style.

 

1)LF Frelick 2)SS Ortiz 3) C Contreras 4)1B Hoskins 5)DH Haniger 6)RF Mitchell/Weimer 7)3B Black/ Schmitt 8)CF Chourio 9)2B/SS Turang  (Miller, Haase extra bench)

1)Peralta 2)Miley 3)Woo 4)Ashby 5) Gasser 6)Hall

Williams, Payamps, Uribe, Megill, Wilson, Milner, Clarke/Ross/Vieira

Not bad, I would request to save the 50 or so million we are saving and put it into a starter (Woodruff maybe) next year.

I think the problem is if you run into a bad outing the rest of the pen isn't deep enough to make up for a couple bad outing in a row. In my scenerio it would really only be the last month of the year so we would have an extra pitcher to cover. 

Maybe 3 full time starters and 4 piggyback could work for the year that would leave 6 relievers.

Wouldn't have to worry about Haniger hindering anything, dude just can NOT stay healthy.  Always hurt, ALWAYS!
