This trade still blows my mind as well and I still absolutely hate it. All that said, from a PR/morale standpoint, we had to do something after the Cheaters got Skubal... and (after all the emotions), it looked like May fit what the Brewers do pretty well.
Given how successful this franchise has been the past 8-10 seasons, especially the past 3, I'll give our terrific front office the benefit of the doubt.
I know it sounds crazy right now, but maybe May will provide more value to us in 2027 (via exercising the option) than he has so far in 2026. I know he has a track record/pedigree, but 2026 definitely not looking like his finest year and maybe a chance to work a full 12 months with the Brewers organization would be valuable for both sides
