    If I'm adding right the money is pretty close. 6/189 for Stanton vs 7/188.5 for Yelich. Giancarlo's posted a 138 wRC+ over the last two seasons though, so Yankees would probably say no. There are a couple of years where the Yankees save about $3-6m a season and then the team option in 2028 for $10m is the real kicker. Does the $6m in savings from 23-26 allow the Yankees to pick someone else up and stay below the tax? The savings would put the Yankees under $100m from 23-26 before arbitration. Does that give them more financial freedom to go out and pick up a better free agent than what Stanton would be in his age 33-35 seasons? I think the Yankees say no but there are some financial benefits for the Yankees by moving Stanton for Yelich.

    Who says no to this assuming the NTC is not an issue for either. Yelich for Stanton.

    Back to the Hader trade talks what about this trade with Cleveland. Brewers: Jones, Allen and Karinchak Guardians: Hader and Taylor Jones becomes the Brewers starting 3B around June assuming nothing changes in the CBA the Brewers also get Karinchak is basically a RH version of Hader. I am not sure Cleveland would go for this but it would certainly make their bullpen better and they also add a needed OF who hasn't hit arbitration yet. I think this fits in real well for Cleveland value wise I am just not sure this is something they would do or not. I think they may just keep Jones or move him for more offense at another position but I am not sure that is really available in the trade market. I really like Cleveland as a trading partner for the Brewers as I think there are some pieces there that the Brewers and Guardians match up well. I still can't get used to the Guardians name change I am probably going to call them the Indians for awhile like I still call the LA Angels the California Angels. I don't think there is a trade here unless Jones is in the mix which probably kills the deal but I think there is a fit here with Hader just not sure if Cleveland will give up the needed pieces.

    Obviously you do not and creating a strawman argument doesn't really prove anything.

    No and you do not understand finance at all and that is putting it nicely.

    The Royals do this with their rookie league. Most of their players are at a hotel near the spring training facilities. Though the Royals do not let their players eat at the hotel they are provided meals.

    Revisiting the BIG 12 and BIG 10 rumors I think Oklahoma State would be a good team to add to the BIG Ten West. Oklahoma State would be a better Nebraska and would actually be able to compete with UW. The BIG Ten West is an absolute joke and is the JV squad of the BIG Ten when UW is having an off year. Adding OK State would add another competitive team to the BIG Ten West. But knowing the BIG Ten they would probably put them in the East and move one of the cupcake teams over to the West.

    Murray, Dak, and Josh Allen are definitely high end contenders. Right that is why I said they are in the top 5.

    Stafford is looking really good with the Rams this year and if he continues on the pace he is on he should be in the MVP discussion. Brady looks to be the leader for MVP as of now. Still way too early to tell who is the MVP but right now I would say Brady and Stafford are in the top 5 with Brady leading everyone.

    CBA doesn't really cover the minors and I doubt the MLBPA really cares about the minor league players well at least not enough unless it was hurting their portion of the CBA.

    So Arizona would be up north?

    The last two World Series winners beat the Brewers in the playoffs and the last three have represented the NL in the World Series. Just saying.

    McCutchen is washed up and doesn't provide much if any value. He really shouldn't be an option for the Brewers but if the well dries up and he is still left in free agency he would be someone that the Brewers could afford on a 1-year deal. McCutchen shouldn't cost all that much. Bryant is the player that fits the best for the Brewers but will the Brewers be able to outbid the Giants for him? The next best option for the Brewers are Rizzo and Belt. I don't think Castellanos fits for the Brewers as I see him more as a LF than a RF and I don't want to see Yelich playing in RF again. Maybe you could get Castellanos to play 1B but that is really his only position that I would feel comfortable having him play defensively unless there is the DH in the NL next year. I could see the Brewers going very expensive with Bryant but I think realistically the Brewers go with one or two year options. So I think that eliminates Castellanos, Bryant and others. I think Rizzo and Belt are possibilities on one or two year deals. I think the Brewers if they do add someone it will be by a trade and not through free agency at least I am not expecting any major signings this off season.

    That Cardinals team is stacked on the offensive side. I think Tampa is the only other team that has more talent on the offensive side of the ball.
  15. nate82
    Castellanos and Martinez sure they could be out of the Brewers price range but McCutchen won't be. This was McCutchen's slash line: .222/.334/.444. I just don't see many teams lining up to give McCutchen anything more than a 1-year prove it veteran deal. So something under $10m a season. McCutchen's defense has also taken a nose dive so not much there in terms of value.

    This makes no sense at all: "We have a philosophical difference of the direction that our Major League club is going," president of baseball operations John Mozeliak

    That is rather fast and quick for the IRS to do something. Usually it takes longer especially if they are at fault for any part of said issue.

    I don't see the Braves letting Freeman go and will make him an offer where he will retire in Atlanta.
  21. nate82
    For the Phillies I think you start with Bohm and you would need at least one or two more after him. Bohm probably should be a 1B and if you stick him there I think you get enough offensive output there. For the Mets if you can steal Alonso that is where I would start otherwise there is not much there. For the Yankees it wouldn't be someone that helps now as I would target Dominguez. The Red Sox something like Duran, Dalbec and another piece should be good. The White Sox I think you try and steal Vaughn if possible.
  22. nate82
    An interesting name to watch for a 1-year deal maybe Michael Conforto who didn't have a really good offensive year and he could possibly replace Garcia in RF for about the same price. The only other option would be Rizzo at 1B but I think there will be more competition for him but I think teams will be looking at 1 or 2-year deals and nothing more than that for him.
  23. nate82
    I don't think Cronenworth makes sense for the Brewers. For Hader I think the teams the Brewers are going to target are probably the Mets, Red Sox, Yankees, Phillies and the White Sox. Maybe the Mariners and the Blue Jays try for Hader but I am not 100% sold that would be a move they would make. The Giants are also another team that could show some interest but I don't like anything from the Giants.
  24. nate82
    Angels would accept that really quick but not sure how this helps the Brewers. Would need a lot more just for Woodruff alone. JBJ may have negative value but not that much negative value where he would be basically cancelling out Hader the same with Hiura. Hiura is basically a neutral value as he is still pre-arb. In order for this deal to work the Angels would have to add in a lot more like Marsh, Detmers and Sandoval more.

    Bryant is going to be expensive but I don't think he is out of the Brewers price range especially if they were willing to try and get Turner last offseason. I don't think Bryant gets more than $22m a year especially in the upcoming free agent market where the Yankees are more than likely out and the Dodgers are already set at the positions Bryant plays. That leaves the Giants, Brewers, Mariners and a mystery team competing for Bryant. All it will take is for the Giants to do something crazy and offer Bryant a 7-year $200m contract though I think that is probably out of the question. If the Brewers went out and did a 5-year $110m contract with two option years that would be all of the Brewers offseason budget but possible with the Cain and JBJ coming off the books in 2023. But in 2023 you would have Yelich and Bryant taking up $48m of the Brewers payroll which would be about half of the teams payroll. You would be basically banking on Mitchell, Turang, Urias and others to fill in the rest of the roster in 2023. This is also assuming the Brewers don't extend Woodruff, Burnes or Hader. Do able but you are putting all of your assets into two players and betting that Mitchell and Turang turn into All Star caliber players.
