    Would have preferred Soto but maybe he is unsignable out of the 1st round.
  2. nate82
    Phew thought the Padres were going to go Soto there.
  3. nate82
    Obvious pick by the Braves here with Waldrep.
  4. nate82
    Would have to remove all the compensation for FA and now rookies for that to happen. I don't see the players association allowing that to happen without that happening.
  5. nate82
    Big fastball with room to grow and he is only 17.
  6. nate82
    You can but only comp picks can be traded.
  7. nate82
    Soto, Gelof, Sykora or Waldrep.
  8. nate82
    Yeah that is what I am afraid of.
  9. nate82
    I did not want to see the Cardinals taking Davis there.....
  10. nate82
    Probably an under slot deal with Wilken. Hopefully Soto is available at 33.
  11. nate82
    There just hasn't been a Prince like bat available in the draft at 1B. Torkelson would be the closest and he has sucked for the Tigers.

    You could make a case for Rodriguez (SP) I think that is who you mean. Lara is good just not untouchable good and Uribe is a reliever. While I like all of them but I wouldn't consider them untouchable and definitely not trading them for rentals. I expect one of the three (Adames, Burnes or Woodruff) to be traded this off season but I could also see the Brewers just rolling the dice with all three for another year and then offering them QO's at the end of the year. If all three sign contracts that means the Brewers would have 4 picks in the comp A portion of the draft. The Brewers will have a comp B in next years draft and then will move back to comp A in the '25 draft. It would be a risky strategy if two or all three have bad years or get injured. I think if the Brewers trade for anyone this deadline it will be rentals. Though I think Lane Thomas has a few years of control and I think that would be someone the Brewers would target in a trade. Duvall is someone I think the Brewers would target as he is hitting lefties really well this year with a 123 wRC+. Duvall also wouldn't cost that much probably someone like Perez (OF) or Zamora (SS).

    Nope. Best option would be Luis Robert Jr. (CF) but I don't think the White Sox will sell. It would take Frelick and a lot more to get Robert.
  14. nate82
    Will he be able to start in '24? I doubt Allen comes back for his senior year. It would be silly for Allen to comeback for his senior year unless he gets injured this year the way the NFL has started to pay RB's it is better to get in early so you can get that big payday earlier.

    Spending the owners money on shiny objects.

    Not to mention Chourio didn't have all that much time in A+. There was debate on where the Brewers were going to place Chourio this year and I think most had him starting in A+ and not in AA. The assignment of Chourio was very aggressive by the Brewers. MLB is also experimenting with baseballs in AA this year I believe which maybe causing some issues here. I think Chourio, Quero, Black and Misiorowski are probably the only untouchables in the Brewers minor league system. I think the Brewers are willing to part with Frelick if it means an impact player is coming back to them with 3-4 years of control. Something similar to a Yelich type of a trade.
  17. nate82
    It could start with him…..

    You are missing the point. The Mets don't care if they lose Alonso to FA the Brewers would. The Mets can just go out and buy someone else like Goldschmidt in FA if they lose Alonso. They don't really need to replenish the farm system or recycle talent when they can just go and sign whoever they want. If a team wants Alonso they will have to overpay for him. It is the Mets price or nothing. This isn't the Pirates, Royals or A's here this is the Mets with an owner who doesn't care about the teams spending. If Alonso would cost $30m next year it would also be irrelevant. The only way the Mets are trading Alonso is if they are getting back premium prospects. For the Brewers they would trade Adames if they are out of it but will be looking to replenish their farm system and wouldn't be as hard on their asking price. I still believe the Brewers get a top 50-100 prospect back for Adames.

    Yes and No. The Mets are not going to trade Alonso as they still see themselves as a playoff team. Why would they trade someone off their roster when they expect to be competing next year and that player would be someone that they would want to be on their team next year? Any team wanting to trade for Alonso will have to overpay to get him and not just a small overpay but a franchise altering overpay. Alonso's salary and stats this year are irrelevant in this discussion. The Mets are going to demand an elite return for Alonso and they won't care about his production or his salary number next year. It will be pay the price the Mets are asking for or don't it won't matter to them.
  20. nate82
    How is that foolish? The Mets are not going to dump Alonso for anything less. The Mets are going to demand elite talent in return for Alonso and that means Chourio from the Brewers. For this reason I don't see the Mets trading Alonso. It is very similar to the Reynolds ask from the Pirates. The more likely scenario would be the Mets extending Alonso than them trading him as they don't really have the financial restraints the Brewers had with Hader. The Mets can just wait it out and they will unless their price is met.

    The only bad thing about Waldrep is that he could just be a reliever though a very good late inning reliever especially with that violent delivery. I think the Brewers would try and clean it up a bit and maybe that helps him become more consistent with his pitches. As a floor he is probably easily a dominant late inning reliever. I still prefer Taylor, Schanuel, Davis or Morales at 18 but it is hard to complain too much about Waldrep at 18. I am not a big Miller fan so as long as the Brewers don't take him, Bradfield or Shaw I would be fine with the pick. I really think the Brewers go with a college bat again and I think it is between Taylor, Schanuel or Davis at 18. Davis could be the best player drafted outside of the top 5.

    New MLB mock has the Brewers taking Waldrep at 18. https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-pipeline-2023-mock-draft-july-6?
  23. nate82
    I don't think the Mets would accept anything less and really they don't need to trade Alonso so it is pay up or don't.
  24. nate82
    The Mets and Cardinals don't have to trade either player so it is what they value the players at which is going to be higher than what they are actually worth. It is meet our price or don't get them.
  25. nate82
    Then you are not getting Alonso or Goldschmidt. Maybe something like Black, Frelick and a few lower end prospects for Alonso could be possible but I think the Mets would want Chourio included in the trade for Alonso.
