I am not sure either Gonzalez or Shaw will be available at 18. Wilken definitely should but I think Taylor would also be available at that spot and I like Taylor over Wilken. I think the Brewers go Schanuel (1B) at 18 and then go a tough sign at 33. I don't think any of the players you have at 33 will be available especially Davis. Davis has been mocked recently in the 10-15 range.

I thought all events at least in the off season go to the city.

You still need power and Frelick lacks it so he may get on base but once pitchers find out they can just get him to ground out or pop out his OBP will fall like a rock kind of like what happened to Steven Kwan. That is actually what I think Frelick will be basically a .270/.340/.360 hitter which translates to about a 98 OPS+. He would need to be a bottom of the order hitter so your typical 7-9 hitter. I am not sure how Frelick's profile makes the Brewers offense all that much different than the HR or bust.

The Rockies tend to be no shows at the trading deadline almost every year. The odds of the Rockies trading anyone at the deadline are probably extremely low. 2022 traded no one at the deadline 2021 traded cash considerations to the Reds for Ashton Goudeau; traded Mychal Givens to the Reds for Case Williams and Noah Davis 2020 traded Jacob Wallace and international draft bonus pool to the Red Sox for Kevin Pillar; traded Tyler Nevin, Terrin Vavra and Michael Deson to the Orioles for Mychal Givens 2019 Traded international Bonus pool to the Cubs for Jimmy Herron; traded Alfredo Garcia to the Yankees for Joe Harvey 2018 Traded Jerry Vasto to the Royals for Drew Butera The Rockies will buy but they don't sell all that often or ever at the deadline.

It would have been better to go with a retractable field than a roof but I am not sure if that would work in a baseball stadium like it works for a football stadium. The Arizona Cardinals have a retractable field. This would allow for the grass to get enough light as you would just roll the field out after a game.

I believe Brunson and Barrett are redundant as they fill the same need at guard. But I agree I don't see the Knicks doing this trade. The Bucks would have to do a sing and trade with either Lopez or Middleton. I don't believe the Pacers would have any interest in Lopez and to a lesser extent Middleton. Chris Paul just went to the Warriors for Poole, 2030 1st round protected top 20 pick and 2027 2nd round pick. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/37899665/sources-wizards-send-chris-paul-warriors-jordan-poole

Kevin Sim sounds more like a Brewers target but probably somewhere in the 4-5th round. An interesting 3rd round pick could be Brock Vradenburg (1B) out of Michigan State. It is extremely hard to tell how good a player will be out of the Big 10 for baseball. The competition is not all that great as he put up a .400/.492/.721 this year.

Mr. Rodgers, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. One of the greatest movie quotes ever!

I agree with Portis and Beauchamp but I don't want to see Connaughton back at all or Allen either. They would need to do a sign and trade with Middleton to do this. Maybe a Brunson for Middleton, but I am not sure the Knicks would do that.

To me Frelick is the one I want to trade as I am not sold on him having enough power in his bat to play LF. I don't see Frelick as a CF where his bat would be more acceptable. If the Brewers can trade Frelick for someone like Robert who has a lot of team control then I say do it otherwise no. Really the only player I would think about trading Frelick for is Luis Robert.

Celtics trade Smart to the Grizzlies: https://www.spotrac.com/news/kristaps-porzingis-marcus-smart-traded-in-three-team-deal-1928/ Celtics Acquire Kristaps Porzingis, #25 pick in 2023 Draft, future Golden State Warriors first-round pick Grizzlies Acquire Marcus Smart Wizards Acquire Danilo Gallinari, Tyus Jones, Mike Muscala, #35 pick in 2023 Draft I wonder if a sign and trade is in the works for Middleton now? Would have to take back a salary in the deal but a pick would be nice also.

Why would it be more complicated? The contract is with the team and not a city. The contract moves with the team. The naming of the RSN doesn’t really matter as they would just rename it wherever the team moves to.

So what does that have to do with TV contracts and teams moving?

Angelos has been on record saying that he won't raise payroll unless more people start coming back. I doubt the Orioles ever get back to a $120m+ payroll. https://www.camdenchat.com/2023/1/21/23564904/baltimore-orioles-news-mlb-trade-rumors-mike-elias-john-angelos-2023

Nice comeback win!

Umpire is really expanding that strike zone must have a dinner date or something.

Your point being?

Sports teams have divided up their TV rights into two now. One for broadcasting and one for digital broadcasting. Why sell as one when you can sell both individually for a higher profit.

Paragraphs are a thing use them.

There was an article I read about people missing money and one was for recommendations for jobs. So even if I don’t know someone I will recommend them. I will put anyone in the system as a recommendation. The only people I can’t recommend are people connected with a government so I can’t recommend Hunter or one of Trump’s kids or close family members cousins, uncles, brothers, etc….. Random people I meet perfectly fine.

No this is wishful thinking. The Chargers, Raiders and Rams all relocated in the NFL recently. The TV contracts have very little bearing on if a team will move or not. It is always the stadium or facilities. Teams will even move out to the suburbs if they can as the Bears are contemplating now.

Their owner has recently commented that they see themselves more like the Brewers and the Rays. I doubt they will be spending all that much.

If I am trading with the White Sox I am going big and going after Luis Robert. I would be fine trading Frelick, Black + for Robert. The only untouchables in the Brewers minor league system to me are Chourio, Quero, Misiorowski and Carlos F. Rodriguez. Everyone else I would trade for the right player. I think something like Frelick, Black, Gasser and Small/Mendez gets you really close value wise for Robert. The problem is with the White Sox do they believe they are contenders still or are they willing to trade off some pieces? I wouldn't be surprised to see more contender to contender trades this deadline. Unless the White Sox and Cardinals decide to blow things up there isn't much out there from the obvious sellers (Royals, Nationals, A's and Rockies) in terms of impact players. The Mariners could become sellers but I am not sure who become available if they decided to sell and if there would be anyone that teams would be interested in buying that the Mariners would sell on (Suarez, Wong, Hernandez and Pollock). I wouldn't be surprised if the Brewers and Dodgers restart trade talks for Adames. Something like Frasso, Graterol and Kopp to the Brewers for Adames and Brosseau/Small/Milner. Adames fixes the SS issue for the Dodgers and they get a pick of Brosseau/Small/Milner as the second piece. I think the Dodgers would go with Brosseau as that helps their bench out a little bit more but I could see them adding Small or Milner to lengthen out their bullpen. The Brewers get bullpen help with Graterol the MLB piece coming back with Frasso and Kopp being the prospects in return. Frasso and Kopp would help the Brewers minor league pitching depth. Frasso becomes the best pitcher in the Brewers minor league system with Kopp being the 4th or 5th best. If the Brewers could pull off the Graterol for Adames swap and get Robert from the White Sox that would be a rather big improvement for the Brewers overall. Robert fixes the LHP issues the Brewers have been suffering from. Graterol could also fill in the 8th inning and move everyone else down an inning. I think this would give the Brewers the best chance to win now and in the future. These moves also allow the Brewers to keep Burnes, Woodruff and Peralta and to just get draft picks for Burnes and Woodruff after the '24 season. Next year the Brewers would be in pool B for comp balance picks and then in '25 they would be in pool A. Assuming both Burnes and Woodruff are offered QO's and they sign with another team the Brewers could have three picks after the 1st round in the '25 draft.

I look ate Martinez' stats recently and ooof are they bad. I think this might be the last year for him in the Brewers org, I believe he will be a minor league FA this off season?
