Craig Counsell to the Cubs: It was in his nature
TURBO commented on Bashopolis's blog entry in Smash
Maybe, before writing an article on the guy, you can spell his name correctly? Geez. -
Looking at their current roster, I would think that probably only Contreras is truly untouchable. Maybe, MAYBE, Peralta could be the next closest. Uribe? Anyone else, if the offer is too good to pass up, should be tradeable.

Brewers Narrowing Down List of Potential Managers
TURBO replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
The Astros are trying to keep bench coach Joe Espada from interviewing with the Brewers for their managerial opening until they decide on who will replace Dusty Baker. Espada is a candidate for both jobs. The oddity here is that, as The Athletic’s Chandler Rome reports, Espada’s contract with the Astros expired on Oct. 31, allowing him to do whatever he’d like. Yet GM Dana Brown still said Tuesday that the Brewers were being denied permission to interview in Milwaukee. Related Milwaukee Brewers 1h ago Source: The Athletic -
Onward to the future, who is your preferred 2024 field manager

One thing to take into consideration is this: Does Burnes even want to sign a big contract with us? I'm going to guess, NO, he does not. Like Counsell, I think Burnes wants out of Milwaukee too, and if we keep him this year without trading him, I highly doubt we are on his list of teams he wants to sign with in 2025.
-
Truth, I thought I was the only one. lol I just don't see why he is allowed to share his views on the home town message board.
-
Ok, yeah, true, but that doesn't mean we have to excuse it either. I get it, there are people here that like to take the opposite view for discussion sake, but it really is ok to admit when the Brewers, their manger, their front office, or anyone else screws up.
-
Oh, I have no doubt in my mind he wanted out of Milwaukee. All signs are pointing to that, he probably can't believe he gets to leave PLUS getting that kind of money. It was a win-win for him I guess. Not sure his goal was to stick it to anyone, but then again, that could easily be part of the equation as well.
-
In the end, had CC gone to anyone other than the Cubs (or Cardinals) I don't believe we'd see such disdain for the guy. It's a kick to the crotch, a punch to the gut, etc. that he chose the Cubs. We pretty much knew he was leaving, and I don't remember one poster here even thinking for a second it would be to the freaking Cubs. When I first saw the news, I truly thought is was a joke, no way was he leaving for the Cubs, lol

Ask our resident Cubs fan, Matthew Trueblood....
-
So he allowed it to be public that he was meeting with the Mets and Cleveland, but felt the need to keep it private to meet with the Cubs? Why is that do you think? Is it because he knew damn well what it would do to his public image to even take an interview with the Cubs much less actually go there to manage. He knew that every Brewers fan in the country would hate him for making the transition to Chicago, knew it was a dick move, yet he did it anyway, in private, keeping it from everyone for fear of the backlash he would 100% be receiving. He deserves all the hate coming his way, from MA, the fans and the media. I'd like to see some truthful interviews with the players, interviews where they actually say what's on their mind, not what is politically correct.
-
Even if that is true, as a matter of respect, CC should have told MA what the offer was, even if he knew damn well MA wasn't going to match it. It's just something that should have been done. The more I read into all this, the more I am convinced that CC just plain wanted out of Milwaukee.
-
CC is dead to me. There are 2 teams, TWO TEAMS that he could have went to that I wouldn't have wished him luck. The Cubs and the Cardinals. That's it, those two teams. Every other team, had he taken the money, I'd have been fine with. I actually believe that him leaving won't be too detrimental to our future. I believe that we were in need of a new direction, and that CC really had done all he could in Milwaukee. I believe that what he was doing was growing stale, and that a change was needed. So the fact that he left really doesn't bother me that much. But the Cubs? The Freaking CUBS? For that, I will never forgive him. He knows it was a dick move to move to the Cubs of all teams, but he did it anyway. Screw him.

Just like Sabathia...

SNY.tv’s Andy Martino reports the Mets are close to making a decision on their next manager. Martino adds that Yankees bench coach Carlos Mendoza, who has also interviewed this offseason with the Guardians and Giants, has emerged as a very strong candidate. He also notes that the Mets’ top candidate, former Brewers manager Craig Counsell, is expected to make a decision within the next few days. It sounds like Counsell and Mendoza are the clear frontrunners, but it’s within the realm of possibility that both wind up taking jobs somewhere else, which would throw a wrench into New York’s plans.

Someone is going to take the risk and pay him 20 million on a 2 year deal I'd bet on it. When healthy, he is good, taking the risk he can stay healthy for 2 years could be worth it to a team with deeper pockets.

Canha to Detroit.... RHP Blake Holub to Brewers
TURBO replied to Jastro's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
So I'm assuming this means the Tigers are going to pay Canha to play with them in 2024? -
ummmm, are you new to Brewers fandom? They absolutely would and have lost players over an extra 3 million dollars. C'mon man.
-
...and to charge fans an arm and a leg in the process...
-
Interesting, why do you think one has to do with the other. We know we aren't going to have Woodruff, odds are Burnes is gone as well. That leaves 2 holes to fill at the very least. I'm really hoping we get Miley back, so our rotation will probably look like this today if that happens: Peralta/Miley/Gasser/Houser/Rea I have almost zero faith that Ashby is going to contribute as a starter this year, who else does that leave? No way we can afford to not have Houser back unless we get another arm in a trade or as a free agent.
-
Went to Killers of the Flower Moon this afternoon. Good movie, but really long at 3 hours and 27 minutes. I think the hype may have outperformed the movie, but it is surely well worth the time to see.
-
I'm predicting that MA opens up the purse strings, and keeps Counsell on board. I do not believe, not even for a second, that CC wants to coach anyplace other than Milwaukee. Using other teams as leverage makes since monetarily, but I truly believe that his heart is with the Brewers. Him testing the waters to see what he is worth on the open market is all he is doing.

Jackson Chourio Contract Extension?
TURBO replied to Brewcrew82's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Well, there is always the chance of an injury that derails his career, which is really the only reason to accept a contract like that. Guarantee 100 million or risk it all with an injury. I bet Woodruff wishes he had done something with his contract before his injury.
