I think Dejong makes a bunch of sense. Cheap vet with some pop to cover the left side of the infield if all of the young guys regress or don't pan out. He would provide a solid floor. Shoot, he played for $1.75mil last year ... As far as trades go, as much as I love Perkins his value can't get much higher than it currently is. I'd dangle both he and Frelick and let any club pick their favorite. I'm knocking HARD on every wood structure I see this year for Garrett Mitchell to stay in uniform.

I'm cautiously bullish on Hoskins having a bounce back year for us. Last year was one year removed from injury.. we saw the "two years removed from" scenario with Winker last year, I have blind faith we get a little of that. Hoskins was a 9 total WAR player in his 6 seasons in Philly... If we can get 1 WAR out of him this year as a part time player .. that will be a full win bump from last season. If we can improve on Bauer's side of the platoon ... I think there is reasonable optimism we can gain 2 WAR from our 1B this year over last.

Rosenthal also dropped this little nugget in his story: *As one might suspect, the budget-conscious Brewers are open to moving first baseman Rhys Hoskins, who will earn $18 million next season and also is owed a $4 million buyout on a mutual option for 2026. The problem for the Brewers is that the first basemen on the free-agent market include not just Pete Alonso and Christian Walker, but also Paul Goldschmidt, Anthony Rizzo, Josh Bell, Carlos Santana and Justin Turner. To move Hoskins, the Brewers might need to both add cash and attach a prospect."

I reckon we give the kid a glove and a bat and the whole month of March against MLB* Arizona competition and he will let us know if we should be considering him for an every day spot.
-
Cortes is the same age as Williams btw. Younger, actually... By a few months.
-
Come on man. Putting Cortes and Owen Miller in the same sentence as dime a dozen guys just isn't it. Cortes had comparable numbers last year to Max Fried.
-
Do we know of any recent examples where a guy had a similar injury and shortly after returning had to have major surgery?
-
If Cortes pitches to his career norms and the Brewers underperform as a team, he will bring back a favorable haul at the deadline. If he pitches to his career norms+ and the Brewers hold him for the season, he is a QO candidate and could bring back a 1st Rd+ 2026 pick. Also, imagine if the Brewers can find a little more of that pitcher's pixie dust for him that they always seem to have?
-
Yeah but he is just a company yes man like the rest of us.
-
The breadsticks are almost always a lower shelf item which is below a straight arm reach for a 5'6 human. So, wrong. Also, if Cortes brings a Suter like stability to the clubhouse (as you are inferring) to go along with his Top 30 SP recent stats ... this is an enormous home run of a trade.

Last season: Player A: 11-10, 3.25 ERA, 29 GS, 174.1 IP, 166 SO, 1.164 WHIP Player B: 9-10, 3.77 ERA, 30 GS, 174.1 IP, 162 SO, 1.153 WHIP

Can't wait to see Cortes with a full beard.
-
Sorry, didn't mean anything harmful. It just jumped at me when I looked at the profile page.

.396 OBP at AAA last year for Durbin. Initial thoughts on the trade is we improved... is Durbin our new SS? I would hesitate to move Turang off of 2nd after being named the best defender in baseball. Durbin is 5'6. Altuve like.
-
That's.... interesting.
-
I realize the ability to shuttle a guy is ever important, but I don't think S Smith was in our top 30 prior ... so in terms of prospects, according to pipeline, we improved.
-
Will be interested to hear why his 2024 AAA season was markedly better than his lower level MiLB career..
-
Which is why I'd place a small wager that he is pitching for Nashville by the end of May.
-
Based off of Rule 5 history the likelihood is high he gets returned to us at some point this year. A non top 30 prospect ... I get the annoyance of losing him but my guess is we are simply loaning him to someone else to use for a few months for $50k.
-
Does anyone have any strong predictions for Brewers activity at the Winter meetings? I'm assuming we will sign the usual 2-4 "invite to spring training" guys. I'm sure Arnold has another surprise 'no name bullpen signing that will end up pitching big innings for us' up his sleeve..
-
3/4 of a billion is mind numbing.
-
I'd be stunned if he is being considered for the big league roster before 2027. Chourio was the fastest positional ascension we've seen in our minor leagues and he spent 2 full seasons playing in the states before breaking camp with us last year. Made hasn't played on American soil yet.

Update that A's number! -
Montas came in and helped so much. So thankful for him last season. But 17mil/yr just isn't it for us. Good luck out there Frankie!

Brewers success w pitchers after trades
liveforoctober replied to homer's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Garcia is exactly the kind of guy we want our staff getting their hands on. Who know if it works out but 25yo and a minor league deal .. I hope we sign 40 more of these kinds of deals/players.
