    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.

    April/May was when most around here were still in "sell it now" mode, right?

    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.

    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.
  7. 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.

    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.

    Freddy can put that change on ice today...
  10. Fear The Chorizo
    Offspeed command is killing Freddy today He wont get through 5 - avoid the blowup inning, please
  11. Fear The Chorizo
    Turang deflected it - lot of grass to cover to go and get it
  12. Fear The Chorizo
    Nibbling again
  13. Fear The Chorizo
    Gotta bunt that towards 1b with a lefty on the mound there, Bryce
  14. Fear The Chorizo
    Great bounce back inning there Helps to have that part of the Cub order in that spot, too
  15. 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.
  16. Fear The Chorizo
    Freddy off to a wonderful start once again
  17. Fear The Chorizo
    Will be interesting to see what Imanaga has today - last start, the white sox slapped him around and his velocity was down. Cub fans suddenly seem to want to replace 80% of their roster at the trade deadline after largely spending the first 3 months of this season crowing about how great they all were - funny how the mix of typical pitching injuries every team faces and their entire lineup no longer collectively hitting like the '27 Yankees can change perspective. What the Brewers have been doing over the past couple months isnt lucky - so impressed with how they can easily be considered the deepest organization in baseball despite not being able to compete in free agency with large market clubs. I still think this approach hamstrings them in the playoffs due to not having as many impact players as teams with unlimited budgets, but the Brewers are a regular season winning machine that at some point will have breaks with health hot streaks go their way in the postseason.

    Supply and demand dictates that the Dodgers ticket is simply a tougher get than a Brewers one, and therefore they can charge alot more. LA metro area is more than 10x larger than milwaukee's metro area. Dodgers stadium also can hold about 15k more fans every game they play If the Brewers dramatically jacked up ticket prices I'd wager their gate receipts would decrease, not increase

    His stats in AAA this season are very much an outlier in his milb career, too - at 26 Siegler is the definition of AAAA roster fodder. He shouldnt be starting games in late July for a 1st place MLB team that has better options.
  20. Fear The Chorizo
    While some of us worry about potential roster space being wasted if Miz really gets his workload reduced to preserve innings, we are reminded regularly that the Brewers model is to waste mlb roster space with guys like Siegler. At this point its just trolling keeping him on the roster, let along starting him. I hope he goes 4-5 tonight though, lol
  21. Fear The Chorizo
    Yeah, I think there are far more things that are likelier to happen on the field and with contracts/roster management between now and the end of this year that would make Cub fans want Hoyer to go away after his deal ends, not extended. I view this news as a good thing for Brewers fans
  22. Fear The Chorizo
    Specific to Chourio...he is 21 and could quite honestly be learning situational baseball on the fly to try and catch up to his insane talent...but im not excusing that baserunning gaffe, either.
  23. Fear The Chorizo
    He should have been IL-d much earlier this season and forced him to let it heal - now we are stuck with him at 50 percent rest of the season. W!!!!
  24. Fear The Chorizo
    Take a strike no matter what
  25. Fear The Chorizo
    Actually glad Perkins is up instead of Contreras here
