    I have a feeling the wifi at MLB offices may be buffering, and we're about to get a slew of trades to collectively chew on as they play catch up. Not saying there will be a bunch of deals involving Milwaukee, but you never know.
  2. Fear The Chorizo
    I'm assuming Lockridge has options remaining and will be stowed somewhere in Nashville - Nestor probably had next to zero trade value given the fact the Brewers didn't have a spot for him in Milwaukee and everyone knew it.
  3. Fear The Chorizo
    Here's hoping Joey Ortiz will hit the series-clinching grand slam off Nestor and you'll be crying tears of joy in what's left of your $18 Coors Light

    Does Fernando Tatis have options left?
  5. Fear The Chorizo
    They must be confirming that Ramirez is ok to waive his NTC before announcing him and Kwan on their way over to Milwaukee in a few minutes - so that all the same posters ticked about not doing anything can get ticked about giving up too much.
  6. Fear The Chorizo
    I can see that - but in order to make that happen there's going to need to be some curious optioning/IL stints in August that isn't going to be directly performance-based. That pitching staff is crowded with a capital C

    what did the Cubs do so far today? A starter with an ERA pushing 5 and a sort of late-inning reliever??
  8. Fear The Chorizo
    particularly when the Brewers have those arms everywhere in their organization, to the point of many of us wanting to trade that caliber of arms away to make room as injured guys are rehabbing (or trade the guys rehabbing).

    The Brewers upgraded their opening day rotation, catcher, and 1B position with trades so far in the season. Padres fans in the know also realize their front office's approach isn't sustainable and is frankly looking like a last ditch effort before the house of cards completely falls apart, and they are back in MLB's wilderness picking in the top 5 for the next decade. Regardless of whether or not the Brewers add anyone that we wind up questioning if it's an upgrade or not to what they either already have in house or may have ready to play in Milwaukee next season today, I'm happy with how their front office has gotten them into this position.

    They could upgrade those spots internally at any point if 40 man rostering decisions didn't play a factor. They could also readily upgrade "backup/bench" mlb roster options through the waiver trade period that runs through August if necessary. There are going to be more than a few teams who wanted to sell waking up tomorrow morning with their veteran bats and arms still on their roster because they had too large a pricetag - and they'll still want to try and move pieces. July 31 is rarely the best time to make a trade

    Who is "they"? That team may beat the Twins getting sold so Seidler's kids can cash in if they can stop fighting amongst each other for controlling interest.
  12. Fear The Chorizo
    April/May was when most around here were still in "sell it now" mode, right?
  13. Fear The Chorizo
    I think it's more along the lines of smelling the fact if the Padres don't win it all this season, he's done generally managing baseball teams at the MLB level. So he has zero care of what that organization looks like 3 months from now.
  14. Fear The Chorizo
    Something to keep in mind - whichever team "wins" the trade deadline with whomever they pick up this week will be fortunate as hell to get the impact to their roster that the Brewers have already gotten from the combination of Priester and Vaughn - trades that were made weeks and months earlier in the season. Also, the team that "wins" this deadline week will likely wind up giving up a TON more prospect capital than the Brewers did to acquire both of these players, who have additional budget-friendly team control well beyond this season collectively. I do think the Brewers add a pen arm or do something at 3rd/SS/OF to further improve this roster - they simply have too many blocked prospects/arms in the minors to not use some of them as trade chips to even out future 40 man/Rule 5 rostering decisions where they'd risk losing those same players for nada in return.

    San Diego is trying like hell to get more involved in the Tijuana/Mexico market in terms of TV revenue, which is about the only direction their market could grow locally. On the US side of things, they are ranked 30th in terms of market size nationally, while Milwaukee is ranked #38. Being as close to LA as they are actually limits their market size in terms of TV revenue, much like Milwaukee is limited by being close to Chicago. The difference is that San Diego does indeed have a decent chunk of built-in revenue with properties they either own or have a stake in around Petco, while Milwaukee doesn't. Plus having Seidler throw money at the team for years once he realized he wasn't long for this world. But, that extra billionaire cash has dried up and the extra property revenue isn't nearly enough cover what they currently have on their payroll books longterm.
  16. Fear The Chorizo
    well, to be fair San Diego is actually a somewhat comparable market size, they just finance the heck out of their organization to come up with cash they don't have to fund their team. MLB has been sniffing around trying to make sure the Padres don't wake up one day with the realization that they're bankrupt. They had to take out a loan just to make this year's payroll. Preller probably should be canned this offseason for the mess he put the organization into.
  17. Fear The Chorizo
    At least the Padres have all those WS title banners flying in their stadium as reward for being uber aggressive and gutting their organization over the years....oh wait. Had the Padres made zero prospect trades starting a handful of seasons ago at deadlines/offseasons from what was once an absolutely loaded system, they would be a better team today than they are now.
  18. Fear The Chorizo
    Freddy can put that change on ice today...
  19. Fear The Chorizo

  23. Fear The Chorizo
    Great bounce back inning there Helps to have that part of the Cub order in that spot, too
  24. Fear The Chorizo
    Still looks like he is serving up cookies at 90-91 - but I know that is his normal velo. Splitty is rolling in, Contreras going yard off of that pitch.
  25. Fear The Chorizo
    Freddy off to a wonderful start once again
