  1. Nice to have another major league caliber player with an option, minimal salary. Could be this year's Guerra or Wilson, could go either way.
  2. That would be a tough one for the Brewers to even approach in dealing with Yelich, the media and the fanbase. I think it is something that potentially could happen if Yelich has a solid 2024, the team is average and a contender is looking for a guy like Yelich to get them over the top at the deadline. Then Yelich may be more inclined to accept a trade.
  3. They definitely messed up on the surplus value of Carlos Rodriguez the pitcher. It's stuff like that which makes it hard to take their trade values seriously.
  4. Enter code KWIKTRIP to get 50% off select tickets to those Fiserv Hockey games.
  5. Maybe the trade by the Dodgers increases an Adames trade by getting a future replacement for Adames. Sure seems like Sweeney could be ready sometime 2024.
  6. Regarding Mahomes he did make the statement about being fine with refs letting the players play at the end of the game last week so is consistent. It was such an obvious offsides though so difficult to not call it there. Heck of a play by Kelce as well.
  7. Having a peak Grandal type player at $25 million a year is a deal, especially 10 years from now. I'm sure the White Sox would have loved two one year deals versus the four they had to give him, with the latter two being negative production.
  8. First time going to a Bucks game in over a year, this tournament was a nice opportunity to get upper level middle tickets for less than $10 a piece. Fun game with pretty much no defense, the Bucks would hit a three and immediately give up a layup. They also throw stuff in the crowd after a made three and that was getting pretty annoying. Maybe one of the best things about this tournament is pretty much guarantee the name players will play instead of load management. Could buy these tickets for my kids and know they will see Giannis and Lillard, which is important driving from the Madison area.
  9. I think competition is good. If not traded I would love for Frelick/Wiemer/Mitchell continue to get better and show the Brewers they deserve to start.
  10. Since they went with Varland last year I'm going to say they draft somebody. I'll go with wild left handed reliever Andrew Magno of the Tigers, the Tigers owe the Brewers one for Reese Olson. If the Brewers move toward a soft rebuild maybe Ian Bedell is the pick, think he will be a decent mid rotation starter down the road and even better to take somebody away from the Cardinals.
  11. I'm all for Chourio going to the HOF as a Brewer but considering they still have Yelich signed for the next five years, still hoping he is next.
  12. I kind of like Taylor as the 4th outfielder for his next three arbitration years as he plays all three OF positions well, shouldn't cost too much and the trade value just isn't there. Hope they are shopping Frelick to see if another team overvalues him. Based on the poll this is the minority opinion but if his trade value is really around 35 then this might be peak value.
  13. Agree with you SeaBass, we can have debates about potential transactions but once it's a done deal the debate is over. We are all Brewers fans and excited to see what is to come in the next decade. I think as Brewers fans sometimes we think about the worst outcomes but this signing appears to give hope and excitement to the fanbase.
  14. Well that is why platoons are used so much, the best depends on the guy pitching. Really good players are the best no matter who pitches but the Brewers will never have a lineup full of really good players that don't require a platoon.
  15. To me it doesn't even matter what the option year numbers are. Get two more years in his prime 20s if he is a superstar without further commitment.
  16. I really don't think you can make a conclusion on Burnes if a Chourio extension is done, could really go either way. Often times playing the young guys is a sign of a rebuild but not necessarily the case here.
  17. Will have to wait for the final details but at the very least would be nice not to have to worry about service time manipulation with Chourio. Being small market Milwaukee there is certainly risk and that can't be ignored. However, if there are some option years that enables the Brewers to keep him in Milwaukee throughout his 20's then it is worth it in my opinion.
  18. 4 pages is a lot for Bauers but not exactly a lot to talk about so not real surprising. He actually looked pretty decent through July. Thought he might even be a Brewers target at the trade deadline with the way Winker/Tellez and the 1B/DH castoffs were playing. Would absolutely take 232/314/497/811 out of Bauers which he was through July. However, August and September happened and he was absolutely brutal, can't hit much worse than that and struck out over 40% of the time.
  19. The second round pick without Rodgers about the same as first round pick with. Was always going to be around and 30, give or take a few. At least Rodgers doesn't have to worry about rushing back. I hope he can come back healthy and have one more good year.
  20. I do wonder what kind of market Murphy has as he has been productive but in very limited playing time and always gets hurt. He would be a good target but I'm sure he will try to cash in during perhaps his only chance and require a multi year deal.
  21. I'm all for adding good players, which Chapman is. However, don't see any way the Brewers compete against the big market teams for his services. If going this route would rather they extend Adames for his age 28-32 seasons.
  22. Last year was arbitration 3 for Woodruff, there was certainly some service time manipulation with him. This would have been arbitration 4.
  23. With all the rumors today it turns out Woodruff really didn't have any trade value. Hard to say the Brewers are stupid for non tendering when no one else is willing to give him a one year deal on an arbitration salary.
  24. I would say zero trade value but we will likely find out within a couple of hours.
  25. I was on board with a two year deal but think they non tender.
