2026 Misc MLB News Thread
Fear The Chorizo replied to Frisbee Slider's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
All of that is true, but what also is true is Peralta isnt having a great season and the Brewers get sproat plus williams for 11 more years of team control after this season. Even a 1-2 year window of above average mlb production from either of those guys makes the trade a net positive for the Brewers. My gut tells me 1 or both of those players are going to be part of future trades and not become Brewer mainstays, but its way, way too early to write off top 100 prospect level talent. Its not highway robbery like the trade to Boston for Harrison, Drohan and Hamilton, but the Peralta/Sproat and Williams trade is a huge win for the Brewers organization -
generally agreed - owners likely realize they're going to have to reduce service time control (both prior to free agency and minor league control before either requiring players be added to the 40 man or entering minor league free agency. Pushing the year an initial bonus baby gets drafted 1-2 seasons later when they're closer to 20 instead of 18 takes some of that evaluation risk out, but it also gets those players closer to MLB-ready in development instead of burning their 1st two minor league seasons nursing them through rookie and low A affiliates when the priority is to avoid injury if at all possible (especially for high end high school pitching prospects). I can see them using it as a bargaining chip to concede assuming the players union concedes on other items the owners want.

2026 Misc MLB News Thread

Sproat's arm/raw stuff and Williams simply being a MLB-caliber middle infielder yet to break into the major leagues means the Brewers won this trade by a landslide - if the Mets were to offer Peralta back and wanted Sproat +Williams in return it would be an awful trade for the Brewers. I get that MLB results haven't been good for Sproat in terms of an "arrow up" outlook on him as a pitcher as he is breaking into the majors as a starter who still needs more development, and may be better suited at present in a long relief/setup - type role....Corbin Burnes was once statistically the worst starting pitcher in MLB early in his Brewers career, and he won a Cy Young not long after. -

He basically did the same thing around this time last year to make the AS game and become a fringe MVP candidate...then he stunk across the entire 2nd half of the season. His K rate is essentially identical to his career averages this season, maybe his walk rate has improved a bit...but im not sure why teams opt to throw him strikes. Go back to a constant diet kf high fastballs and sliders in the dirt and dont change until he actually stops swinging. -
And he is apparently injured
-
Why even throw a curve there? He sure did hang it, but stick with your sinker and changeup dude, especially against a lefty
-
I mean, given this front office's track record id be surprised if that didnt happen. We sorta knew Sproat need time to figure it out at the MLB level, abd his stuff was good enough to get outs despite still being raw. He's got the 2nd best stuff in the organization - honing command and building up endurance to not fall apart at 75 pitches makes him a great starter
-
Its impossible to have a legit deal with a failed terrorist regime whose regional influence has just been severely diminished. All of it from both sides is bluster, but what has changed is the primary countries in Asia and Europe who rely on steady oil flows through Hormuz are feeling the pinch and need energy supply stability - so diplomatic pressure is ramping up on Iran. More importantly, this wont really end until China is willing to buy oil at global market prices instead of the discounted crude from Iran. I expect that to take awhile since Venezuela is no longer a backup option for them at cheap prices and Russia can't give them everything they need. Meanwhile, markets at all time highs with oil prices steadily dropping, and gas prices (which will lag significantly behind oil and probably spike up another time or two this summer) back below $4/gallon.

Here we go!!

Go get a healthy Skubal and shore up the pen
-
Facing the minimum
-
Just hand the kid the Cy Domination - honestly the closest thing to hitters looking completely out matched as this was Kerry Wood's 20K game as a rookie against the Astros on a cold April day when he was throwing sliders breaking 4 feet before his elbow blew out. Just cruising for a CG shutout against a damn good offensive club
-
Fly balls go 430 feet ...just nuts
-
Eh...if he wants to accept a trip to Nashville the brewers can keep that depth there...i honestly think they have better depth in AAA/AA that deserve the chance and its time to cut dead weight
-
Park cant even get that right, lol
-
That doesn't mean it's not a complete joke. The brewers won last night, so obviously its the same conditions. The fact the Brewers played their previous 3 games in Coors field and its at the tail end of a stretch where they havent had an off day in almost 2 weeks is what makes this more of a mess for Brewers pitchers.
-
Screw this ballpark Was thinking of how the hell the playing field could be equalized a bit in this sort of environment where pitching wouldnt get abused...kept going back to utilizing ABS to expand the zone an inch in all directions
-
Rengifo cannot stay on this roster any longer I'm going to bed
-
When a pop up leaves the stadium, its actually a pretty solid excuse. Now im just hopeful the pitching staff doesnt leave Vegas in absolute shambles
-
That's a flyball to shallow right in any other park...including Coors
-
This isn't baseball
-
It is the league high for a game this season...shocking i know, lol
-
They need to go for 2, definitely not settle for a FG This road trip is all time awful for a pitching staff...but seemingly good for the team record, lol
-
That was backfooted to say the least
-
A's basically setting up behind home plate instead of the on deck circle, lol
