You’re right that I don’t know that, hence the phrase “I doubt”…. And you don’t know that he did get any extra money. I understand the reasons why Houston would be better than Milwaukee from that perspective, but it’s quite clearly worse from a major league opportunity in 2026 perspective. Your point of having 162 PA’s across 7 orgs in 7 years all the more reinforces that - the opportunities to make it in the big leagues are drying up by the day. A 2 week stint with a big league paycheck and an opportunity to catch some club’s eyes is extremely valuable and limited at this stage. 

To each their own - perhaps he’s got a family, etc and this was the best move for him personally. Extremely hard to say it was the best move for him professionally. 

I get the logic (Milwaukee loves versatile infielders) but the Brewers gave him seven plate appearances before moving on with a DFA. 
 

I don’t think career minor leaguers  trying to stay in affiliated ball, spend much time looking at roster construction etc. vis a vis, money, opt outs, promotion clauses, convenience.

I think that’s wrong. All of those things matter a ton, but so does the likelihood for a promotion. One of the single loser important things. You can make your entire AAA salary in 2 weeks in the bigs.

My expectations were low, but this Bae guy sucks. I think I'm at the point of changing my tune and want to see one of the young guys brought up, roster flexibility be damned.

Yeah, dropping that easy double play last night will never show in the scorebook or defensive metrics, but that cost us 5 runs and who knows what happens if we get out of that inning clean?  Inexcusable.

It's rough if Ortiz/Pratt and now Turang potentially can't play. May be getting close to breaking the glass in case of emergency and seeing what Jesus can do.

I went to bed kinda early.  Something happened to Turang?

Sprained thumb apparently. Not sure how and when it happened. He played the whole game.
