Probably was scared he was going to get benched if he didn’t try and stretch it into a double. That should be in blue but with pancakes it’s hard to tell.

At this rate the Cubs will have to sweep the remaining 7 games against the Brewers just to have a chance. It’s not over yet but the Cubs haven’t really taken advantage of their easier schedule compared to the Brewers in August. They are basically where they were at the end of July.

I know Lara hasn’t really earned it and his status are not the greatest but I still believe he would be the best #1 for this lineup going forward. His approach is just far better suited as a leadoff hitter.

Ted who? Are you thinking of Bill and Ted’s excellent adventure? No idea who this Alex Ochoa is never heard of him. Andrew Lorraine no idea who that is definitely not a Brewers name and definitely not a name who would wear #23.

If you build a trade value thingy it may bring more traffic. Just sayin

I didn’t know that Dolly was a producer for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Though it was mostly as a silent producer and more through the company she cofounded. Still not something you would consider to be something she would be backing.

There is only one #23 on the Brewers ever!!! All other images are AI created!

If Yelich retires whatever is remaining on his contract won’t be paid out. He will still get the deferred payments but he won’t get the years he doesn’t play. Are you thinking of a buyout?

Contreras missed a very hittable pitch. Should have gone for extra bases in stead he hits a lazy pop fly out.

Black has a better chance than Adams or Burke to be called up.

The Pro Bowl game is no more mourned by no one! https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7540770/2026/08/26/nfl-pro-bowl-eliminated-ending/?unlocked_article_code=1.8VA.jebA.wSntIcOpaH_y&source=user_shared_article&smid=ta-ios-share

I wouldn’t expect Adams to get called up since he is not on the 40-man. Lockridge is the likely add when rosters expand along with Black and maybe another pitcher or two. Baddo is probably the most likely removal from the 40-man if they wanted to add Adams.

If the Dodgers have to get under the cap maybe a Yelich for Tucker makes some sense. It would cut the cap for the Dodgers in about half. The Dodgers would probably have to send some money over in the deal for it to work or it would have to be a three team trade. Maybe the A’s make some sense as they would also have to add in payroll to get to the floor. I don’t think Yelich would even approve that trade. The Brewers are stuck with him until he retires.

I tried to make it obvious with my previous post with the scouting report about Ty Johnson being very similar to Mis.

Pitcher #1 is Mis and Pitcher #2 is Ty Johnson.

Yes and hopefully cooler weather here in AZ. But the AFL might be a bit of a wet one this year. Well wet in terms of AZ wet weather.

Was more joking that the year is nearly over when it feels like it just started.

It’s AFL time already?

No and that wasn’t the point. The point was with Yelich on the team it is unlikely the Brewers resign Bauers and keep Vaughn. They are more likely to subtract both than keep both. It all has to do with payroll and Yelich is the biggest problem payroll wise.

I don't think there would be a better package. Unless you mean prospect rankings which really aren't worth all that much to GM's. It does help the baseball writers to easily determine if a trade is a win or not. I don't think you really looked at the players other than their rankings. Of these two pitchers which one would you rather have and would you trade either for Contreras and would they be the headline piece in a Contreras trade? Pitcher#1 Pitcher #2

If Yelich doesn't retire I think this is a very real probability depending on how the CBA goes. If the CBA requires a salary floor then I think Bauers is brought back but Vaughn doesn't get brought back. There is a hole for a backup SS and 3B that the Brewers haven't filled. I think trading Vaughn would fill that hole. Yes I know the Brewers have Made but I am not sure if the Brewers think he is a SS/3B or if they think he would be a better CF. I don't have a good read on where the Brewers think Made will settle defensively.

Can’t even make an easy routine defensive play at 1B. Vaughn sucks.

I was thinking of the Yankees as a landing spot for a Contreras trade but I don't think they have the prospects that the Brewers would be looking for in a Contreras trade. I looked at the Rays and while the obvious trade targets here would be one of their top catching prospects I think the Brewers don't target one of their catchers and instead go quantity over value somewhat here. Rays: Contreras Brewers: Ty Johnson (RHP), Slater de Brun (OF) and Anderson Brito (RHP) or Santiago Suarez (RHP). You may think this is a light trade for Contreras as the Rays wouldn't be giving up any of their top 10 prospects but this is a solid trade. While none of these players are in the Rays top 10 or in the top 100 prospects in baseball they are players the Brewers have targeted in the past. Ty Johnson's scouting report reads very similar to this Jacob Misiorowski guy. Slater de Brun is someone the Brewers were connected with when he was drafted very similar to Sal Frelick but far more physical. Anderson Brito is a very advanced pitcher for his age but similar to Peralta is on the small side and may need TJ surgery but is expected back soon from his forearm strain. Brito hasn't pitched since March. If you don't like Brito then Santiago Suarez is another good pitcher though he is more of a control pitcher than Brito. Suarez has a 1.3 BB/9 which is just insane. Though he doesn't get the strikeout much and he does tend to give up HR's at a career 1.0 currently sitting at 1.8 this year at AA. He has a mid 90's fastball that can touch 97. He would make for a very good #4 or #5 starter. You wouldn't have to worry about him walking batters but you would need an elite level defense behind him which for the Brewers is something they have. I don't believe the Brewers will trade Contreras this off season and will instead just go year to year with him.
