Bauers Qualifying Offer

[mudbutt]

Just Baseball and some others think he will accept it as well. I think it makes a ton of sense with the QO slightly deflating his market to accept. I think the 23 million plus the contract he will get after next year will very likely outdo what he’d get on the market this year. And if he turns back into a pumpkin, you still got 23 million. Very much hope he accepts and I think people vastly overrate Vaughn. Glad we don’t have to wait long to find out.

Bauers made 2.7MM, that is almost a 10x raise. I don't see why he doesn't. After what happened with Woodruff last year, I am not certain why they would do this. Vaughn is fine at 1st for 2027. They have their MiLB player of they year in the wings. I'm sure they figure that bringing him back helps the chances to repeat, but I think they could work on a deal that is less than that.

I would have thought we were too stacked with 1B options, unless they felt Bauers would walk. But I guess one argument is that you want coverage against RHP and Burke/Fischer are likley a year away yet. Adams could replace Vaughn more easily than Bauers. 

If Burke or Fischer prove ready early, you can still trade Bauers i think.

Fischer first needs to learn how to field a baseball. Brewers aren’t rushing a defensive hack to the majors and watching his offensive growing pain while he boots balls all over the place.

Vaughn will be gold for whatever team he plays for next year, it takes a year to get the power back from the injury he took. 

Vaughn is a great bat we would miss if he moves on.

Eh.

 

That would be much more of a "may be" than an "is definitely " for me.

 

I won't miss Vaughn if he goes. 

 

I hope Bauers gets his bag whether it's this year with the Brewers or the following year with someone else.

He doesn't have the power you'd like but I would definitely take Vaughn at $9mm as an insurance policy.
