Doubt it if the thought is to get a filler 1 WAR player or f ringe prosepct. Mitchell is a starting CF that produces, if Lara is getting playing time then Frelick is hitting the bench. I can see trading Mitchell because he is never too far from another injury but need something worthwhile in return.
Below are the number for Yelich during his extension. If you are disappointed by Yelich you will be disappointed with the numbers for Contreras post 30.
I hate this road trip, they are so bad at Coors. Even when the Brewers are good, which they have been for a number of years, they are usually no good at Coors.
It's hard to say that when they average 8 runs a game in a 4 games series but the one time they faced a decent pitcher they failed miserably. I think we have seen this team can win in the regular season but for this question and winning the World Series the current offense isn't enough to win a World Series. Is it good enough to win the division, yes.
If the Brewers need a mop up guy to eat innings it would be nice to give Yoho a shot and see if he can work his way up and gain confidence in himself and Murphy, There is a near zero chance Woodford will pitch high leverage innings in the playoffs but maybe Yoho could get there someday.
Nice job by Gasser and Patrick, not much else positive about this one. Hopefully Gasser can build on this and hold onto a starting spot until some guys come back.
He doesn't fill out the lineup card but no way Vaughn is the most consistent player, his spits are enormous which is counter to consistency. He is ok against RHP but not so much that he should ever be in the lineup over Bauers or Yelich.
Vaughn has been pretty weak against RHP his entire career, especially for a 1B. Can't see the Brewers trading aways somebody like Bauers that is actually producing. There is a reason Vaughn sits so much. Vaughn is certainly valuable as the Brewers have had their issues agains LHP but more valuable when he has a platoon partner like Bauers.
I would bet on nothing happening today but will make the 5 game series in St Louis in July when it is 100 degrees rather interesting. The chop is one thing, but then to double down on accusing Marmol is another.
I agree, those types of plays tend to have an impact longer term on the game. Who knows what would have happened but certainly would have been better than the rest of the game ended. Plus, their bullpen may have been worse off today.
Low key it is good that the Brewers can't hold onto Burnes, Adames, Williams, Peralta, Contreras, Turang. They really could be worse off if they paid their guys long term.
Harrison isn't another Priester type that can be easily replaced by doing what the Brewers do. Harrison is basically a Sabathia replacement and that took about 20 years. Would be all for trying to buy out a couple of years of free agency, maybe a chance since there is one more cheap year in 2027.
Right handed pitching out of the bullpen has has been a weakness of this team so understandable why Patrick would move there. I like Patrick as a starter probably more than most but bullpen sure seems like the route the Brewers are going. Don't think the depth is as deep as it initially appears either with Gasser having much to prove and Crow only pitching 50 innings in 2025 and hardly at all in 2024. Not counting on Priester at all. Hoping Woodruff can be a starter down the stretch and into the playoffs but that hasn't worked real well the last few years.
