That's great news if she was the best qualified person to choose from... I hope they didn't hire her just because she's a woman. Have you seen her resume? Do you ask that "best-qualified" question every time a new GM is hired? I have not seen her resume. If she was the best qualified person, and not hired based on her gender, good for her. I see that you want to call me a sexist, why not just say it and be done with it? I'm assuming that when GMs are hired, they are hired because of their qualifications, but if gender is a qualification, then I disagree with that kind of reasoning.

I think what most are failing to understand is that we are not going to add that kind of payroll. it just isn't going to happen. That plan alone would add another 20 million to our current payroll. Sadly, that just isn't going to happen in 2021.

I'd like to reiterate how great Yellowstone is... I'm about 1/3 of the way through season 3, and am going to be very disappointed when I have to wait for season 4 to be televised... SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOD!

According to MLB.com's Jon Morosi, the Mets, Yankees, Phillies, Blue Jays, and Cardinals are "viewed as the strongest candidates" to land Francisco Lindor from the Indians. USA Today's Bob Nightengale heard from "several rival teams" last week that the Indians fully intend to trade Lindor this offseason, but Morosi cautions in his column Wednesday that it could take a while for the situation to play out because Cleveland may want the top free agents on the market to find new homes first. Also, the Mets have yet to hire a president of baseball operations to work under new owner Steve Cohen and team president Sandy Alderson. Lindor, a two-time Gold Glove Award winner and four-team American League All-Star, is currently scheduled to reach free agency after the conclusion of the 2021 campaign.

As I said above: Simple fact is, at this point in time, we lost that trade in a HUGE, GIANT way...

Thought this was interesting. Stroman won't consider the White Sox as long as LaRussa is the manager...lol Marcus Stroman indicated on his Twitter account on Tuesday morning that he has ruled out signing with the White Sox as long as Tony La Russa is manager. "No amount of money honestly," when asked by a fan about the possibility. "Peace of mind is always priority." La Russa's hiring came under fire for his previous comments on race and the decision by the White Sox is being scrutinized even more after it was learned late Monday that the Hall of Famer was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol on October 28. It was the second-known DUI arrest for La Russa. The White Sox were reportedly aware of the most recent DUI, but he's not in danger of losing his job. Still, that even one player would rule out signing with the club should be a matter of serious consideration. We're not sure Jerry Reinsdorf is going to care, though.

I find it odd that so many can't accept the fact that Grisham, had he stayed with us, would have been a huge help this year. I guess that some people deal with losing players that go on to be successful in other places differently. Simple fact is, at this point in time, we lost that trade in a HUGE, GIANT way... Still a lot of time to see what happens in the end, but right now, it looks like we got fleeced. I wish we still had Grisham, and I'm not afraid to say it.
-
Can you imagine signing this guy with all the headaches involved right now? Geez, what a complete failure by the White Sox.

Some would say the lights got too bright.

Buster Olney of ESPN writes that the universal designated hitter being used in 2021 is a "safe bet." The DH spot is currently set to be used only in the AL in 2021, but Olney believes that will change "unless the MLB and players' union animus erupts to the point of complete dysfunction." Olney's colleague, Jeff Passan, reported previously that owners want to keep the expanded playoffs in exchange for the universal DH sticking around, although some executives told him they think there will be a universal DH regardless of whether the MLBPA agrees to expanded playoffs or not. The consensus is that the universal DH will almost surely be part of the new CBA which will be negotiated next offseason, and it wouldn't seem to make much sense to have a one-year gap without it before it becomes a permanent fixture.

What is your 2020-2021 offseason plan for the Brewers?
TURBO replied to Vollbc74's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I wanted them to sign him a couple years ago too. He’s exactly the type of bat they need. I wonder if Avisail Garcia could learn first base and spend some time between first and the outfield instead of Brantley? Garcia is 6’4 and could probably transition to first pretty easily. A top of the order of Brantley, Cain, Yelich, and Hiura would be pretty nice. That would still give us a light hitting 1B, which is just a bog problem for this team. -
Is 2020 Braun’s last year in Milwaukee?
TURBO replied to TexasCheesehead's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
My gut tells me he will be back one more year...He's just too close to that 2K hit mark to call it a day. -
Is there a large group of people actually blaming him for that game? Hader was the one walking and hitting everybody, the tying run scored easily on the hit, and (I don't remember with 100% certainly but) wouldn't it have taken an absolutely perfect play from Grisham to prevent the go ahead run from scoring? Even if I'm wrong about that last part, the game is 100% on Hader, or Counsell for leaving him in when he clearly didn't have it. I honestly don't remember him getting beat up too badly here...

Friend of mine did one with a couple family members and thought it was a waste of time and money... He said they had done the real live ones in the past, and they were 100X better. I didn't press him for details, so that's all I got.

This is good news. I didn't want this trainwreck anywhere near a Brewers uniform. Jeff Passan of ESPN reports the Blue Jays and free agent left-hander Robbie Ray are in agreement on a one-year, $8 million deal. The agreement will go down as a re-signing after the Jays acquired the southpaw from the Diamondbacks near the trade deadline this past season. With the Jays, Ray posted a 4.79 ERA and 1.74 WHIP while striking out 25 in 20 2/3 innings of work. Passan reports the club will use the 29-year-old as a starter next year.

Stearns to Mets for 1B & 3B?
TURBO replied to edfunderburk's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
geez -
We don't need a DH, we need a 1B. If the NL gets the DH, we have Hiura and possibly Braun to cover. We desperately need a 1B and a 3B.
-
Bell was stinky, I mean a total mess this past season...His value is probably at it's lowest right this minute.
-
Interesting that you spend any time on this site if you are now anti-brewers.
-
I'm not surprised at all. Not many moral codes left in professional sports.
-
Hiura to 1B is brought up a lot. Has he ever played there, ever? He isn't a big target, I just can't see this ever happening. he is destined to play 2B, DH or be traded imo. Not that I think we would trade him by any means...

I have wondered the same exact thing in another thread. This seems obvious to me.
