Archer to Pirates for Meadows/Glasnow/Baz
Fear The Chorizo replied to And That's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
If you included Hiura to it, then yes -
Harvey for Erceg & Coca(Apparently fake)
Fear The Chorizo replied to lcbj68c's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
for the love of God, all you needed to do was read the 2-3 tweets this clown made earlier today to know the Harvey tweet is likely garbage. -
Wilson Ramos to Phillies
Fear The Chorizo replied to bill hAll Star's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Wouldn't surprise me if there are a couple lists of prospects the Rays will be able to choose from based on how soon Ramos actually returns to game action. -
With the trade the Cards just made sending Pham to TB, it looks like they may be trying to clear out some roster space at positions of depth in their organization. OF is one area, another is starting pitching. While they continue to struggle with keeping some of their key vets healthy (Wainwright, Martinez, Wacha), Mikolas would be an interesting arm to pursue if the Cards make him available at the last minute. He's under a Chacin-like contract through next season and has had a very good season. The Cards are very loaded with young arms in their system and could probably get a pretty solid return for dealing Mikolas at a "sell high" point. My ? is, what would the package be from the Brewers' standpoint to acquire him, and do Mikolas' advanced stats warrant going after him considering we'd be sending prospects to a division rival? Tough to say how the Cards are viewing themselves the rest of this season - if they can't get other starters healthy I don't see how they aren't pronounced sellers. I'm looking to find a starter or two that would fit the mold of a Soria-type trade, where the Brewers weren't linked to them by MLB writer twitter feeds at all but after the trade goes down, people see the obvious fit.
-
The Nats are 5.5 games back and trail two young teams who have been scuffling around for the past 6 weeks - I see them buying more than selling today, or just standing pat. If they crater over the next few weeks I wouldn't be surprised for them to make some waiver trades in August from the same group of veteran rentals they may be fielding offers for right now. Looking at their remaining schedule, if they get a bit healthier I actually expect them to still win their division.
-
They can be traded while on the DL - remember the potential Gomez trade that was going to send Wheeler back, who was recovering from TJ? I'd be leery about going after a C with a bad hammy, though - even if a healthy Ramos would be an obvious upgrade over what the Brewers have behind the plate.
-
Why is Freddy still pitching?
-
Nobody up in the pen even seriously? That's foolish - 80 pitches through 3 IP, fortunate to squeeze out of the 3rd without a blowup inning. Bottom of the Dodger lineup next 1/2 inning, and it looks like CC will run Peralta out there again since he's hitting. Pen better be active to start next inning in case the Dodgers get runners on to get to the top of their order.
-
CC trying to get him through 3 so he can pinch hit for him leading off the 4th. No way do I let him start the 4th, and frankly he should go get him now
-
My hope is the Brewers find a way to trade for a good starter tomorrow - and then get Peralta out of the rotation. He has been inconsistent at best over the past month, and he appears to need a breather.
-
this has the feel of a game we're happy the pen is really well rested...Peralta going to be fortunate to get through 5 with all these pitches edit: hoping CC realizes that too and doesn't give Peralta too much of a leash
-
I think it's either harvey or Gibson from the twins.

Random news and notes for MLB 2018
Fear The Chorizo replied to young guns's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
It's just another example of the sad state of today's culture...somebody is reading the ticker scrolling across the bottom of a sports cable station, grabbing names of mlb players having a big game or that do something newsworthy, and then digging through their social media history to see if they can find something that makes them look like a terrible person and shame them, context be damned. To me those actions speak to just how empty some people's lives are - when the highlight of your weekend is finding an old tweet from someone you don't know at all that is insensitive and embarrassing before reposting it claiming this is in some way advancing civility, you really need better hobbies and are approaching life in a depressingly pessimistic way. I also don't get why these instances merit a short news story and extended attention on certain national sports sites. MLB trade deadline, nfl training camp, soccer, golf, lebRon a laker OMG!!!, so many other actual sports events that are newsworthy. Maybe it's because I hate social media and don't partake in any of it, but it sure seems like "bringing the world closer together" using the world wide web has been a crime against humanity more often than a blessing. -
Boy oh boy...I know it's wishful thinking, but catching a 60 healthy game stretch out of Braun sure would be great!
-
That doesn't make your post any less insane. Crazy like a fox...
-
I don't follow. Are you suggesting that whether the Brewers might be able to retain his services at a reasonable cost for one more season is not an important aspect of the trade? It's a mutual option, not a team one right? So, at the end of the day it's up to moose and boras what he wants to do - not Stearns and the brewers. Based on last offseason's weirdness, I really don't see the point in trying to gauge the potential 3b market now in july. In all likelihood stearns made this trade without worrying much about what moustakas does this offseason since he essentially has no control over it. This isn't like Soria, who at his age as a reliever might be much more inclined to exercise his 2019 option while the brewers might not want to if they truly do have future payroll constraints. At his age, moose would be foolish not to try free agency again this offseason.
-
Are we really speculating about potential free agent contract values on a guy the brewers literally traded for about 36 hours ago with two full months of season left?
-
Most wins in the NL!
-
I know Williams has scuffled a bit lately, but when he's essentially the bullpen's blow-out/mop-up option, your bullpen is stacked
-
It also helps that Yelich is on fire and the bottom of the lineup has more than 1 hit for the week.
-
For the love of god though CC, please do not play the "surrender" lineup tomorrow. I do not want to see Perez anywhere on the field, and if Aggie needs a day off, get Braun in there. It's getting to the point where there isn't such a thing as the "surrender" lineup that CC could come up with anymore.

Cubs Acquire Cole Hamels from Rangers
Fear The Chorizo replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Not sure if this was already added to this thread earlier, but the Cubs gave away Eddie Butler, Rollie Lacy, and a PTBNL for Hamels + $ from TX to try and offset his remaining contract this year to avoid the Cubs going over the luxury tax limit...I'm not sure why Butler wouldn't have been the headliner in this trade right when it was announced. He's definitely a non-prospect, since he has multiple years of MLB service time, but he's a former 1st round pick with some starting experience that seemed to have benefited getting away from Coors Field. He's probably the Cubs' equivalent of between Suter and Woodruff... -
If Santana rights the ship, I'm not sure if we realize yet just how deep and balanced the Brewer gameday roster could be offensively. At times they'll resemble a softball team defensively, but my goodness...
-
And many here will still claim Stearns made a mistake not upping his offer for Quintana. Quintana now has an era higher than every Brewer starter I wish I was more confident in the cards actually holding on to a 6 run (now 4 run) lead would've been nearly impossible at the time to up the Cubs' offer of Jimenez and Cease, anyway...for perspective, Jimenez's 2018 minor league statline between AA and AAA thus far: .332 BA .382 OBP .586 SLG .968 OPS as a 21 yr old, with a few minor injuries mixed in between. Outside of Vlad's son I think he's the best prospect in all of baseball. I mean, the Cubs traded him apparently because they felt he was blocked at the MLB level by Heyward, Schwarber, and Happ - big mistake longterm, IMO.
-
Quintana's velo was down and command was awful...he looks hurt.
