For those in the "Stearns didn't try hard enough to get Soto" camp, the Brewers were not even a consideration for the Nationals: https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/34371428/how-juan-soto-became-san-diego-padre-biggest-deal-baseball-history Paywall, so the gist is this. Before other teams knew Soto was available: "....the Nationals identified teams with the combination of farm system, finances and motivation to put together a potentially compelling offer for Soto: the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, St. Louis Cardinals, San Diego Padres, Seattle Mariners, Tampa Bay Rays, Texas Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays." They eventually narrowed it down to the Dodgers, Cardinals, and Padres. The Nats knew what every team had - unless Stearns quite literally offered the farm, the Brewers had no chance (the "finances" part might have been an issue, too).

Let the board meltdown commence. -
Deadline is an A+ now:
-
I don't think it's going to be THAT bad, but it does seem like losing Hader has been a big hit to morale. Losing last night didn't help, either. I don't think it will be a problem long-term - win a couple games and they'll feel ok, especially if Rogers comes in and does a good job from the jump.
-
So much angst over a trade that is probably at worst inconsequential.

-
I don't have a memory for these sorts of things, but there are plenty of "needle movers" to be made at all different points in the year. He acquired Adames and Tellez well before the deadline last season and I'd say they moved the needle. Stearns has been one of the best GMs in the league from day one. I don't particularly care what day on the calendar he does business.
-
More than one team is involved in the trade.
-
Devin Williams seems...not thrilled.
-
I'd say it's a low chance Rogers is better than Hader, but without regard to how the other relievers pitch, I don't really care if he's better, as long as a) he does well enough in the regular season to where it makes no difference in the Brewers' playoff run compared to if Hader were still here, and b) he does well in the playoffs.
-
No. He's not good except for his arm. He's hilarious and seems like a great teammate, but on the field, he's worse than everyone on the Brewers roster. If he wasn't a former Brewer, nobody here would even think about him.
-
That was a much different situation. The Yankees weren't in contention and Chapman was a free agent at the end of the season. They knew they could trade him, get some prospects, and then re-sign him, which they did for 5 years/$86 million.

I don't care if he's great, terrible, or wherever in between - just keep him on the team until he retires. What a teammate. Give him the Thanasis roster spot if it comes to that.
-
omg - Dan Plesac just called Renfroe "Big Game Hunter," which made me imagine the amazing poster of him that would have existed in the 1980's.
-
Don't love the YouTube broadcast, BUT...I do like that the pitches are color-coded based on whether the tracker has them as a strike or ball. Instant ump evaluation!
-
I can't hit dingers, but I can definitely drop a fly ball. Pay me the rookie minimum
-
He's pitched a grand total of 6.1 innings in the majors after tearing through the minors. Let's give him a little time. Last year's Cy Young Award winner was the worst pitcher in baseball three years ago.
-
Counsell is one of the best managers in baseball. He's a human being and therefore every decision of his doesn't work out, but he's been a fantastic manager,

lol

You probably need to take a break from baseball for a little while.
