Jon Heyman says the Brewers are not shopping Adames or Williams right now. Also says both are free agents after the season so who knows. Way at the end of the article https://nypost.com/2024/02/15/sports/orioles-eyeing-starter-market-amid-kyle-bradish-john-means-injuries/

I like how we get heel addiemathews from BrewCrewBall. It was an odd headline but decent analysis.
-
Soler kind of reminds me of Avisal Garcia with worse defense. I thought he might have ended up having to take a 1 year deal which is a Brewers Special. However, would not want him on this team for three year

The Big Game And Funny Commercial And Big Musical Number Thread
Outlander replied to sveumrules's topic in Other Sports
Right, so many confused online but new rules didn't matter once the 49ers kicked the field goal. Under the old rules the chiefs would have received a possession. -
Based on everything the Brewers have said Yelich is the LF, sure he will DH on occassion but he isn't going to DH 75% of the time when they are facing a RHP. I also wouldn't expect Sanchez to be DH the majoirty of the time against RHP. There will be a number of players at DH and think it is good they won't have an every day DH like Winker last year.
-
I don't think they carry three catchers, pretty much a wasted roster spot. The amount Sanchez will play DH is also overstated. WIll be a fight for that final spot. I think the pitchers are correct as of now but always an injury.

Brewers sign Gary Sanchez (Deal Official, $3M plus Incentives)
Outlander replied to Vgmastr's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
He probably shouldn't ever DH against a RHP, should play him as much as possible against lefties however. I know many don't like him but Bauers still has a clear path to playing time on this team because he bats left handed and still not projected to be all that good against RHP. -
Brewers sign Gary Sanchez (Deal Official, $3M plus Incentives)
Outlander replied to Vgmastr's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
A decent signing that doesn't require multiple years like Caratini and is an upgrade over their current backup catcher options. Lack of power was a weakness last year and this should help improve that. -
I think that is the way to go but the Brewers already stated Yelich is playing LF. Sure he will get some starts at DH but I'll take their word that their plan doesn't include Yelich as the every day DH. Would think Hoskins/Bauers get plenty of time at DH if they go that route.
-
Large variances from player to player but usually plateau around 28 or 29 so would not expect his best days to be behind him. However, whoever signs him should see significant decline. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if 2024 ended up being the best year of his career.
-
It's $7 million for 1 year, with $3 million deferred to after the season ends. It is more than Houser but I also prefer Junis over Houser.
-
I do wonder how they handle preferred/general. There are plenty that hardly ever go to games and would take the exit right off the highway to preferred parking even though they paid for general.
-
I kind of hate it. Huge question marks from Ashby, Rea and Hall. Miley has been solid but frequently hurt. Not a lot of confidence in that group.
-
It's nice they have another potential replacement for Adames, Turang wasn't going to be that guy. Will be interesting to see how much time Ortiz gets at both 2B and 3B if Adames sticks around. Can't say I know a ton about Hall but appears he will go the way of Hader and stay in the bullpen, another potential high end reliever along with Uribe whenver they decide to trade Williams. Also good to get that 34 pick in 2024 instead of having to wait until 2025 for the pick that would have been for Burnes.
-
Murray knows his stuff and has connections with the Brewers. If there is a mystery team with Murray it gives me some encouragement that it could be the Brewers.
-
Has not really been talked about much but that would have been interesting if the Lions player let it go and nailed the 49er the instant he touched it.
-
It's pretty common to have a transitional/go to the bathroom type match before the main event. Don't usually have back to back main event type matches anymore.
-
From what I can see Miller was optioned in 2021 and 2023 so Miller would have an option remaining.
-
For all parties involved it is probably best if it end up being a 1 year deal for $16 million. If he exercises that 2025 contract something went wrong/
-
I imagine they will do the long 1 year head of the table build with Rock and Roman, don't see them doing it this quickly. Probably would go with Punk as well to win the rumble even though it seems too obvious.

Brewers acquire Jake Bauers from NYY
Outlander replied to patrickgpe's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Going into the season with Bauers as the starting 1B was scary but now that the Brewers have an obvious everyday player I think there is room for Bauers on the team. Can't ignore August and September but through July he would have been a top Brewer bat behind only Contreras and Yelich. The Brewers were 24th in HR last year, Bauers can play a role, hopefully much better than the likes of Winker/Tellez/Voit/Singleton/Ruf. -
Nice to see the Brewers make a move to improve a typically weak spot in the order. Certainly is risk as noted but still short term and looking like they are preparing for one last run.
-
I always look at the guys that didn't even get 5%. If Matt Holiday and Adrian Gonzalez can't reach it, then it is looking pretty likely that Braun doesn't get there next year.

Ryan Braun inducted to the Walk of Fame
Outlander replied to MrTPlush's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The voting on this has been a joke for a long time, couldn't find any voting breakdowns for this. Only thing I found was that Braun received 80%, which is laughable for an organization like the Brewers, should be closer to 100%. Have no idea how Jeff Cirillo and George Scott are not in there yet but in reality I do know, voter ignorance. -
Brewers writer Curt Hogg had an article on Junk less than a month ago and was making sound like Junk could have a promising career in the bullpen. Maybe Jericho is correct and best case he is bullpen filler but would have liked to have seen what he could do this year.
