I could see the Giants trading Harrison for Burnes but I think it would be contingent on Burnes signing a long term contract with them. AJ Smith-Shawver, Grissom and a lottery ticket would be a good haul for Burnes from the Braves and this is probably the same offer they are proposing to the White Sox for Cease. I like Sheehan over Stone from the Dodgers but after that it is really hard to put a trade together with the Dodgers without including Adames. -
I think Adames won’t be traded now with the Chourio signing. I believe the idea here from Arnold is to have a mentor at the MLB level and there is no one better than Adames on the Brewers right now. I believe Arnold would have to be absolutely blown away by a trade offer to trade Adames. Burnes on the other hand will be traded. Once Cease gets traded the Burnes trade rumors will really heat up. I hope the Orioles get Cease and that then makes the Dodgers and Braves desperate to make a trade for Burnes.

I remember Aaron Gibson being talked about being a really good or maybe average tackle at one point. But he basically ate himself out of the league and wasn't as strong or quick when he got to the NFL. I remember seeing how big he had gotten in the NFL and then watching NFL DL just bum rushing him even though he was bigger than everyone else.

LOL the Brewers are not signing Chapman regardless of this deal. Chapman is expecting to get about $16m per year on the low end and he should get about a four or five year contract. I don't see the Brewers giving Chapman that kind of a deal. Hoskins is possible but I think he gets a higher dollar per year from other teams than what the Brewers would be comfortable in giving. With or without the Chourio signing.

There won't be subsidy this year if teams get dropped. MLB provided up to 80% for 2023 but for 2024 they will not be doing this. https://www.si.com/mlb/2023/10/28/broadcast-diamondbacks-padres-games-rob-manfred-rsns#:~:text=Tickets-,MLB Planning to Broadcast Diamondbacks%2C Padres Games in 2024,NL West clubs next season. From the linked article Manfred has stated they will be in position to support up to 16 teams. Also from the linked article: It sounds like once the regional TV contracts are over with MLB is prepared to go all digital only.

I am not sure Black makes it on the opening day lineup but he definitely has a chance.
-
I would move Wiemer. I think he has more value than Mitchell and I think the Brewers prefer to keep Frelick.
-
With what prospects that the White Sox would be interested in? I think this is just tire kicking by the Cardinals.
-
You can add "Weimer" to that list but then there would be no one on this board.
-
Frelick 1 then Chourio 2 is probably a better top of the lineup. Probably just move Yelich to the 5 or 6 spot in the lineup.

I think the Dodgers have lost out on Cease and will now be turning their attention to Burnes and Adames. If the Orioles get Cease that Dodgers Braves bidding war for Burnes should be fun. I just don't believe the Braves will go over the first cap for Glasnow and I am not sure if they will be interested in Bieber over Burnes. Whoever loses out on Burnes probably goes with Bieber over Glasnow unless the Rays are willing to eat a portion of Glasnow's salary. Maybe the Rangers will go after Glasnow but that is a big gamble when they already have DeGrom who is recovering from TJ surgery.

Trade partner: Baltimore Orioles
nate82 replied to LouisEly's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I think we can cross Baltimore off the list. I think they are going to get Cease and most of the prospects that you would want in return for Burnes or Williams will be traded for Cease instead. -
Countdown to spring training for catchers and pitchers. Each clock equals a month. Catchers normally report in February I think it is?
-
No, Allen is a poor RB in the spread offense. He is not quick enough to be in the spread. He is far better in a pro scheme. Allen will be the better NFL RB because of this.
-
Not to mention Mellusi is just a better RB for the scheme they are running offensively.
-
Cease looks like he will be traded first either to the Dodgers or Braves. If the Dodgers get Cease I think they will then turn their attention to Adames. That leaves the Braves with Glasnow, Bieber or Burnes as an option. I don’t think they will go with Glasnow as that may put their payroll above the first limit. I don’t see the Rays eating any of that salary. So Bieber and Burnes would be option A and B after Cease. The Braves are not the best team to be trading with as they don’t have all that much in terms of prospects.

So Dobbs is still a good trade?
-
Sounds like a Cubs target.

I had Brooks in a lot of my mocks for the Packers. It feels good being right about someone even though I am not a Packers fan. I did have the Packers though taking Branch in the 1st round instead of Van Ness. Speaking of Van Ness he doesn't look like he is bulking up at all while Brooks has. I think that was the knock on both of them that they were not big enough (strength wise) to compete in the NFL. It looks like Brooks is getting bigger while Van Ness still looks like what he was in college. I would still expect Van Ness to be the better player long term but it looks like it is going to take Van Ness longer to get to the player he should be maybe in year three. Brooks should be a good edge rusher for the Packers. He won't be an elite edge rusher but someone you can expect 2-4 sacks per year. Which would put him around average to above average as a pass rusher. Reed also looks to be a good slot receiver and maybe a primary receiver. But I think he profiles better in the slot. Wicks I am not familiar with but even at a 2 for 1 that is a really good trade off.

If the Brewers decide to keep Adames, Burnes and Williams then I could see them trading for Jimenez. They were at advanced talks with the White Sox for Jimenez at the deadline. A framework is already there for a trade both teams know who is and isn't available in a trade. Maybe a Wiemer for Jimenez plus trade. I think Wiemer's value is a bit low right now but he would be someone the White Sox would have interest in. I am just not sure what Wiemer's value is right now probably somewhere around $5mm in excess value and Jimenez probably around $1.5mm. Maybe something like Jimenez and Leasure for Wiemer could work out but I think the Brewers would be selling really low on Wiemer if they did this trade. Though if Wiemer doesn't improve his strikeout issues this would be an absolute steal by the Brewers.

Depending on the subject you probably have a smaller attention span than a tween girl.
-
It would be smart for him to come back. He probably goes undrafted this year. But if he comes back and is healthy all year that should put him in the 4-6 round range.
-
I think Mellusi would need to be eligible as a 6th year senior in order to return. I thought this was his 5th year?
-
It will be without Allen so hopefully they can get some WR’s who can catch otherwise next year is going to be tough.

Could Leonhard be the next Ohio State HC? With Day losing his third game to Michigan his seat has started to get a bit warm. I don’t think Ohio State will fire Day but this would really hurt if Leonhard goes to Ohio State.
