    Ken Rosenthal reportedly knows something about finance. As discussed when Woodruff accepted the qualifying offer the Brewers have quite a bit of payroll flexibility even after he accepted. It's hard to find short term deals for quality players but if they are out there the Brewers can afford it. One year deals like Woodruff and Peralta is not a payroll concern for the Brewers. If the Brewers get blown away with an offer for Peralta they should certainly consider it but there isn't financial pressure to trade him.

    Too bad a guy like Rob Zastryzny couldn't get a piece of this. Started in the majors in 2016 and still not arbitration eligible.
  3. Outlander
    Sounded okay at first until Contreras gets traded. Can't see that happening, it would kill this team.
  4. Outlander
    I guess today ended up not being too interesting, which may not be a bad thing.

    It never works that way though, long term deals are long term commitments. Saving money this year is certainly no guarantee they will spend it in the future. Maybe Mark A and the rest of the owners get an extra distribution instead if they don't pay Woodruff for a year. No idea why anyone would hate this deal if they actually want the Brewers to win in 2026. It's a one year deal, it doesn't prevent them from doing anything in future year.
  6. Outlander
    Would have leaned toward taking the compensation but considering it is a one year deal and still well under budget looking forward to a solid rotation next year. Don't believe Peralta is going anywhere and they try to win it all in 2026.
  7. Outlander
    With the injuries he has would like to see him play in AAA more and not good use of service time to rot on the bench. Get Haase again if necessary.
  8. Outlander
    Wouldn't expect them to add anybody and don't think anybody in the system will be taken in the major league portion of the draft.

    The premise is incorrect from the beginning. Mutual option dead money(16.6 million) is 2025 money. From Spotrac Brewers have nearly $50 million to work with pending the Brandon Woodruff decision and want to keep money reserved for trade acquisitions.

    We have been following this organization to know Marte isn't the type of move they would make. Another guy in his 30s with a number of years left on his contract is not part of the plans.

    If you are going to have an article on Hernan Perez then can't leave out Jameson Tailon calling him the Latin Babe Ruth.

    I would agree with this but at halftime I couldn't really forsee any scenario how the Badgers could win that game even down only 7. Ultimately the answer was force two turnovers, one creating a goaline situation for the offense, and don't have any turnovers of their own. Have little to no faith in their offense so defense will have to have near perfect games and create turnovers.

    Washington was pretty pathetic with their only TD being when they got the ball on the 1. Pretty even all around, it wasn't like Washington outplayed them and was just unlucky.

    Woodruff making 1/6 of team salary isn't that big of a deal to this team, especially since it is a one year deal. Most of the team is young making near minimum or early arbitration. Their best pitcher in year 9 making $8 million. The Brewers have much more flexibility this season than people realize. However, as a small market they can't get in long term bidding wars with huge salary accounted for in future years. They can sign multiple Woodruff type 1 year deals if they were out there.
  15. Outlander
    This is a one year deal, it really shouldn't impact if they offer a long term deal to Turang or Frelick. I am never going to disagree too much with the Brewers signing a proven veteran on a one year deal even if they have injury history because there is no long term committment.

    Yeager is a free agent at this point, elected to add Crow but not Yeager. Not sure if Yeager gets a 40 man spot from another team but doesn't appear like the Brewers were willing to do so.
  17. Outlander
    Hoping Woodruff declines and gets a contract $50 million or higher from somebody in the AL.
  18. Outlander
    Amazingly, Rodriguez is almost a full year younger than Crow.
  19. Outlander
    Bauers traditionally has been disappointing against RHP but that changed in 2025. If Bauers can repeat what he did against RHP in 2025 and Vaughn what he did against LHP then the Brewers should have a solid tandem in 2026. I don't think the Brewers want to pay Vaughn $7 million to be a weak side platoon however so would expect Vaughn to still get more playing time than Bauers.
  20. Outlander
    Will be interesting to see if the Brewers give Woodruff a qualifying offer by the deadline today.
  21. Outlander
    None of those stats are Durbin's either so not sure who the player is.
  22. Outlander
    Crow was fortunate to be added in a year where the Brewers may not add another minor league to the 40 man. However, I agree that he will have to produce in 2026 in order to hold onto that spot as there is not much filler on the pitching side of the 40 man.
  23. Outlander
    The final month of the season really killed Collins chances for ROY. Think Baldwin wins fairly easily. Durbin saved the Brewers from having abysmal offensive production from the left side of the infield of Dunn/Capra/Seigler/Ortiz. Would be happy for Durbin to get that full year of service but don't believe it will happen
  24. Outlander
    Like many NBA contracts there is a player option after year two so cheap for this year and next
  25. Outlander
    I mean he is at 2.165 so it was a guaranteed Super 2 and all 2026 payrolls included him at an arbitration estimate.
