    Well, since you are stating it's pretty rare that guys with full NTC get traded, do you have stats to back that up, or are you just throwing out comments to back up your stance? You may very well be right, but without any evidence, we don't know. How can you say that his contract isn't preventing them from anything? Dude is getting paid what, 1/4 or 1/5 of our entire payroll. You don't think that freeing up 26 million per year for the next 5 years isn't going to allow them to use that money on other players? It doesn't matter if he is our only long term commitment or not. 26 million per year for a so called small market strapped team makes all the difference in the world. It feels like you are just arguing for arguments sake on this one. There is tremendous incentive to trade him, probably not going to happen, but saying there is no incentive is just plain having blinders on.

    Seems to me like you are just trying to bury the issue by moving these posts here, hoping no one sees them perhaps? Makes no sense to hide those posts here, in a forum no one ever reads, or wait, maybe that is the reason after all? C'mon man, the guy gave you a thumbs down, did it bother you that much?
  3. TURBO
    That is a very strange reaction. Why would they be sent to the issues forum?
  4. TURBO
    Ok then, that makes sense. Thanks for the responses.

    Why would we not tender Toro at 1.3 million? Seriously, why? It's an honest question. Cheap depth. Rowdy and Lauer are goners.

    No incentive to trade him? How about getting out from under a contract of 150 million dollars (or whatever it is) for the next 5 years, and in turn, using that money to sign other players? Both sides have a point, but zero incentive to trade him is not one of those points. And yes, it is a bad contract. Not a chance in hell that contract looks good at the end. The dude can break at anytime and become a complete albatross. How close are we to a 90-100 game per season guy, hitting .230 with 10 homers? Is that worth $26 million a year? His arm is toast, but I'm not even going to get into his defensive liability. People keep saying just move him to 1B. Is that even feasible? If we got the 2023 Yelich for the next five years, then I'd say we are fine, but we all know that isn't going to happen, probably not even close.

    Wait, so if we leave a thumbs up or thumbs down, we now have to explain why we agree or disagree with the post, or be ridiculed by a moderator? Is this a new written rule someplace? It looks like I'm being snarky, and I probably am, but I don't see anyone else getting called out or ridiculed for leaving a thumbs down, just BlightlyBrew. I mean, if this is now a rule, I think we all need to be informed that you are no longer allowed to click the thumbs down without a full explanation as to why. Or does it only apply if we click the thumbs down on a mods post? 😀🤪😡

    Arnold will make it known that Burnes is available for the right price, that you can be sure of. If no one bites, we keep him and look for another deal at the deadline, or we just hang on and cash in on the draft compensation. It's all we can do at this point, but all it takes is for one team to offer up a deal we can't refuse, and hopefully, we add some more building blocks.

    Who is this Winkler fella you keep mentioning?
  10. TURBO
    Nope, it wasn't. The thumbs up and thumbs down icons are there for a reason, right?
  11. TURBO
    I am hoping that we sign Santana to a one year deal, unless of course, they have a bigger bat in mind via trade. Santana is heads and shoulders better than anything else we have thrown at 1B. I'm done with Rowdy.
  12. TURBO
    I'd take that bet. As Brewers fans, we are sour on him at the moment. Other teams would love to have him, he was a Cy Young winner only a couple years ago. He's relatively young, and the talent is there. There is going to be a team (Dodgers, Mets, Padres) that thinks they can bring the Cy Young back into his game, and they are probably right. I don't think we are going to get the massive haul that we all thought we were going to get a year ago, but I still expect a decent haul, probably a top 30 or better, and some other pieces. If not, and the Brewers decide to hang onto him, so be it. I don't want to give him away. That can always be revaluated at next year's deadline.

    Freddy won't have a choice next year. He will have to be our ace, no getting around it. Burnes gone via trade, and who knows if Woodruff is ever the same. I read someplace that if he goes the surgery route, that is a 9-18 month recovery. Our rotation next year could be pretty grim, especially if we don't improve our offense immensely.

    This is what they do in Pittsburgh! Loved it!

    My wife and I watched Game Night a few days ago. Not a must see, but entertaining.

    He's been a LOT better than that recently...

    I understand all the doom and gloom, but in the end, we are in the playoffs, which is a hell of a lot better than not being in the playoffs. Let's see what happens.

    Hard damn work being a Brewers fan... Horrible news.
  21. TURBO
    Baker Mayfield. That is all.
  22. TURBO
    Same group as 2021? Ummmm, ok then...
  23. TURBO
    As long as Kotsay doesn't start in CF... I don't like the D-Backs match-up, would rather see the Marlins.
  24. TURBO
    Damn it! I don't want them to start any earlier than 7:00 pm for selfish reasons... I won't be home both nights until 7:15. 😡

    I pitched in high school, I can probably break out my 85 mph heater one more time for the good of the team.
