  1. Teams may be willing to give up something, a lottery ticket, even though they are aware of the Brewers situation. If the Brewers get rid of somebody they have to go through the DFA process which in itself results in trades like when the Brewers obtained Hudson and gave up an asset. So if there is a team interested anyway they might as well speed up the process and get the guy they want.
  2. That fight may have cost Uribe a lot of service time and money. If he gets hurt in the majors he get gets both the money and service time. Will still be well below a year after this season and has to serve a suspension.
  3. I do wonder if the Brewers would keep Zastryzny over Milner. Milner has been real bad against lefties this year and going to continue to see an increase in salary with his last year of arbitration in '25 while Zastryny will still be at the minimum. Neither has options so pretty much a guarantee that one or both has to be DFA or part of a minor trade once some of these guys come back.
  4. Contreras could be tough but should consider talking with Turang about one. Next year will be his last year at the minimum then 4 years of arbitration since he will be super two. Maybe get a season or two of free agency when he is 30/31.
  5. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if Ashby was one of the guys DFA to make room for others getting off the 60 day IL. Doesn't mean the Brewers gave up on him but gives them more flexiblity since Ashby likely wouldn't get claimed.
  6. Nice to get Rutledge in game 1, set the tone early with an easy win and go from there.
  7. Losing games like this is frustrating but one thing that gives hope is the number of reinforcements expected in the coming months.
  8. I would opt for keeping three catchers at least until the trade deadline to make sure Sanchez can handle the backup catcher role. They can afford to option Monasterio once Ortiz is back. After that there only a few more weeks until they get another roster spot. Haase would be an affordable backup option next year as well, especially with the Quero injury delaying his major league debut.
  9. I think the Tigers have incentive to trade him with his injury history and unlikely extension with Boras as his agent. It would take a lot and don't think the proposed is enough, there will be a lot of competition.
  10. It is tough to fit guys in this year but Isaac Collins may be nice to have in 2025 and beyond, could fit the back OF role well and might actually be a decent switch hit option off the bench. Would prefer him over Brewer if giving a 40 man spot after the season.
  11. Very true, Williams has been great, expect him to be the closer when he returns and for him to be traded in the off season.
  12. A DFA would not be needed once Civale makes it to the 26 man as Clarke was already DFA today.
  13. It's a great story, I certainly though he was never going to return to All-Star Form after 2022. 2023 was a glimmer and hope and he built upon that in 2024. Even nationally you can tell that fans root for him since he is leading the NL OF vote. Never thought I would utter the words of Yelich being an All Star Starter again but here we are.
  14. I just want Keuchel bumped from the Dodgers series.
  15. That was one of the strangest year's for a starting pitcher that I can remember. Started the year strong, had nine complete games which led the team and even had an ERA under two heading into late May. Then he had that long losing streak and even ended up as the closer in September.
  16. Milner probably should be the one to be optioned but will have to do quick as he will have 5 years of service time next week.
  17. I am fine with the return especially considering the Brewers have good, cost controlled middle infield talent at the major leage level for many years. Certainly needed to upgrade their rotation and this is a step in the right direction. Doesn't prevent them from making an additional move closer to the deadline. Pitched well against NL Central foes Cubs and Pirates.
  18. A little concerned when Rays are trading away pitching. Didn't see anything on a return but may hurt.
  19. Keuchel had been bad at Coors Field the couple of times he pitched there in 2022 and 2023, would expect more of the same this time around. Feltner isn't very good either so will see what happens but I am gald the Brewers only play at Coors once a year. Always dred these games.
  20. McCalvy had a couple of updates this past weekend. Had a bullpen 6/24. Another one 7/9. https://x.com/AdamMcCalvy/status/1806772686527619321
  21. There are many Brewers that were here much longer that never had a month like Owen Miller had in May 2023. Not much of a loss however if he gets claimed.
  22. Even though Chourio has had a great June with OPS over 900 I would have to think Myers gets Pitcher and Rookie of the Month if he wins today.
  23. It can when discussing the 40 man because Mitchell's spot currently does not count toward the 40 since he is on the 60 day IL. If he is still injured they do not have to free up a spot for Mitchell. DL Hall is also on the 60 day IL and will likely need to be added back to the 40 man in the not too distant future barring a setback.
  24. Mitchell left the game after a swing in the 9th, might not be coming back from the 60 day IL after all. https://x.com/MiLB/status/1806042688569180477
  25. A lot of hard hit balls, looks like the Brewers are throwing money away with this acqusition.
