Rick Sweet: Something is going on with Lara

[patrickgpe]

Trade? Call-up? Extension? I think the latter based on his comments. 

[LouisEly]

Could be family-related issues that he needed to attend to.  Hopefully not.

Per the full interview with Sweet, Lara has been with the team and taking part in the off field workouts still.

Extension is my guess also

[wibadgers23]

Seems to be a lot of noise about an extension.

It screams extension to me. He’s obviously healthy and if it were bereavement or family related he likely wouldn’t be with the team. 

Sweet is also not going to tell us that we will know soon enough if it’s a trade, that could always fall through and they are not going to speculate on that before it happens. 

Hope I’m not just setting myself up to be let down but a lot of signs point to extension for me.

If there’s an extension, isn’t it interesting that he is being held out of games? I can understand keeping him healthy if he’s being traded to another team. I imagine there’s something I don’t understand.

They held Pratt out of games before he signed his extension.

That’s true. I can understand doing a thorough physical examination before making a $50 million investment but that probably only takes a day or two?

Hopefully he gets called up soon. Perkins is dead weight currently.

Might just be giving the player time to discuss with their family and agent and have time to think about making such a life changing decision without the pressure to prepare for a game as well.

Outside of Yelich, will we have more long-term guaranteed money committed to the Nashville Sounds roster than Milwaukee? 🙂

That totally fair and human. I suppose there is more to life than beating up on the lowly Durham Bulls tomorrow.

Pratt last played on 3/29 before he signed his extension on 4/3.

If an extension is what is occurring, I would imagine Sal Frelick instantly becomes a trade candidate.
