You mention a $8 million savings but closer to 10 with 11.5 Canha salary and projected 1.7 million Taylor salary.. The $2 million buyout was NA after the trade to Detroit.
Moore and Mendez slot in at 25 and 30 respectively on the Phillies Pipeline. Seeing the Phillies did not even add their #6 prospect to the 40 man it makes sense that they were willing to trade Dunn.
For those that follow the lower minor more closely why was Gillaspie released by the Brewers in 2019 after a decent initial season in A ball? This was before COVID. Any clue why his strikeout totals increased after leaving the Brewers?
Since we have a few hours left I'll guess that the Brewers do add a pitcher to their 40 man from another team in a minor trade, looking at the Rangers with a number of relief prospects since they can't add them all.
I have not really been following the Fall season but nice to see Eric Brown performing well and interacting with the fans.
I doubt Wes Clarke will get a 40 man spot but still glad he was able to build upon his solid 2023 season in Biloxi. Could see him getting an opportunity in the bigs in 2024 at some point.
Similar to the Wong trade last year but fortunately don't take a bad contract in return. Canha certainly proved me wrong with his production here but still not a believer in him.
Justin Wilson was reinjured warming up in Atlanta, never pitched an inning for the Brewers. Bryse Wilson is arbitration eligible, he pitched quite a bit better than his peripheral numbers would indicate but certainly an effective low leverage player.
Doubt it, every year it is assumed he is done with the Brewers and every year he is a starter. They are guaranteeing Rea 4.5 million, not going to cost much more than that to keep Houser.
2/25 seems too much for a 2025 season that will be filled with question marks. 2/15 would be more than fair as it guarantees Woodruff some pretty good money even if he doesn't come back. If he is non tendered he is probably looking at a one year contract prove it deal anyway. Really too bad he can't get a big contract until his age 33 season.
No, it is true. Those guys had minimal at bats and Roller was much less productive in his other AAA home. I agree with Ron Robinson to move on but no need to minimize what Hiura did, he was their best hitter. Unfortunate timing with his injuries but he will be with another organization next year.
Some pretty decent holes at 1B/3B/DH, not seeing them spending much like usual, so would lean toward Black being on the opening day roster. As we saw with Wiemer though, it doesn't take much to get that extra year of control.
Certainly a ton of pressure on Burnes tonight but the offense really needs to come through and get some runs in perhaps their most favorable pitching matchup they will see in the playoffs. Chance to get to the bullpen as well.
