    The Red Sox must be taking on some salary because this doesn't make sense if they aren't.

    Reportedly it is Hicks, Harrison and more. Hicks is a salary offset and Harrison is probably the best player going back to Boston.

    As for as K's go the Brewers are in the middle of the league in terms of K% at 22% which ranks 14th in the league. With runners in scoring position the Brewers are in the top 10 when it comes to K% at 19.4%. The offense is definitely missing some power in the lineup but with more power comes more strikeouts. The Brewers have definitely moved more to a put the ball in play type of team over a team that hits for a lot of power.

    Prieseter with another good start. Can we call this trade a win now for the Brewers?

    I think Peralta will want more than $20mm per season. You are probably looking at something closer to $24mm a season and something like 6-8 years. I don't really want the Brewers to do this as paying $20mm a year to a pitcher is just not something a team like the Brewers should be doing. I would rather see that money spent else where and spread around. For a deal to work you probably have to give him a signing bonus for next season around $10mm which would push his contract for that season to $18mm. So a contract of something like 6-years $125mm plus a $10mm signing bonus sounds about right for Peralta. The 6-years $125mm would start in 2027. That would cover his age 31-36 seasons. I just don't believe that would be a good idea for the Brewers to do. One injury and you are paying Peralta $20mm to sit on the bench and recover and any down swing in his stuff and you are looking at a Suppan like contract for the Brewers. The best option for the Brewers is to trade him. The risk is far too high of an injury or regression of his performance than the reward is.

    He was not and the Brewers having to include cash in the deal, proves he was not worth more than Vaughn.

    I am not sure what you think Civale was worth but something is telling me it is not a reasonable valuation.
  8. nate82
    That was a pathetic AB by Frelick just absolutely pathetic.

    It is also a bad thing. When the Brewers have hit the ball hard there have been times I am like how did that ball not make it out or how did the fielder catch that it should have went above their heads. The ball is definitely not carrying like it should be. That can be good for the Brewers pitching but it is also bad for the Brewers offense.

    Yes and your house increases almost every year. Why don't you have a Ferrari in your drive way? Why are you so cheap you should have a Ferrari in your drive way!

    Hitting someone just to put them on is just dumb. I don't care what message it sends. Getting the batter out and just playing the game is a better message to send. Instead you give them a free base you are sure showing them!

    The baseball has changed again. MLB has confirmed the ball is creating more drag this season and isn’t flying as far. On average it is flying about 4 feet shorter this year than in previous seasons. MLB has admitted they haven’t made any changes on purpose this year. The players have also noticed this and have brought it up with the MLB commissioner who has admitted they have noticed a change also. More can be found at this article. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6422877/2025/06/13/mlb-baseball-fly-ball-distance-drag/?source=user_shared_article Kind of vindicates everyone who said the ball changed a few years ago when MLB denied changing the ball. Those weee definitely designed changes previously on the drag of the ball with what the MLB’s commissioner has confirmed recently.

    I think the lack of production from Ernesto is the reason he will get at bats taken away and not Vaughn.
  14. nate82
    This has more to do with Mitchell and Perkins coming back soon more than the recent acquisition of Vaughn. Both Mitchell and Perkins have more defensive value than Bauers which the Brewers definitely value more.
  15. nate82
    You are over valuing Civale. With his contract he didn’t have much value. The Brewers did better than I thought they would. I wouldn’t have thought they would have had to bring back a bad contract in order for a trade to work. Which with the added cash in the trade looks to be what his worth was.
  16. nate82
    lol I though of the White Sox yesterday when thinking of where he could fit. Though I thought it would be for someone like Robert. Right team wrong player.
  17. nate82
    He definitely is not with his salary. His salary right now is limiting his trade value. I wouldn’t be surprised if the White Sox decline the 2026 option as it is only a $2mm buyout. Plus I doubt many teams will give up anything better than Rodriguez. The only way the White Sox get a better return is if they eat a majority of Robert’s contract or take on another bad contract in return. Robert has very little to no value right now. If the Brewers offered up Rodriguez for Robert right now without the White Sox paying any of Robert’s remaining salary I think they take it and run.

    I wonder if this will push the Brewers to update the other minor league facilities. Especially when you compare the DSL facilities to like the ones currently in A and A+. While the AA and AAA facilities are newish. I am not sure any of the facilities other than the spring training facilities are up to par with the DSL facilities. Right now it is like a downgrade going from the DSL to A ball facilities wise. I have to say it is good that the Brewers have finally invested into the DSL. I just hope this investment continues into the rest of the minor league facilities.
  19. nate82
    More about getting Rodriguez than Civale. Civale is basically just a salary equalizer.
  20. nate82
    The Angels farm system is basically a lottery ticket. I think the best outcome would be someone like Luis Robert Jr. in a Civale + trade. Something like Robert and cash for Civale and Carlos Rodriguez makes some sense here.

    You don't need a technical degree to sell AI. Heck I sit next to a bunch of merchant services sales rep (they sell the whole package including the technical parts API, systems and PoS) where I work and only one has some tech background. In a sales job as long as you can sell and you have good people skills then you are good. I have a friend who works at Salesforce and they are selling their technical properties and they can barely use their smart phone or turn on their computer. But they can sell like no one else and they have really good people skills.

    What makes it logical to go down? If a player is happy or not is irrelevant to their value. Civale's value was low and will remain low regardless of him asking for a trade or not. I am extremely confident the Brewers have already reached out to other teams about Civale before he asked for a trade. A player asking for a trade has no impact on their value. Did Favre asking for a trade kill his value? How about Rodgers? How about Ken Griffey Jr?
  23. nate82
    Does it really matter who states a player is available? Other GM’s probably have known for a while now that he is available in a trade. Him claiming he wants to be traded doesn’t change the fact here. This is more just fan speculation that a player saying they want to be traded somehow decreases the value of said player. Teams don’t trade players unless they get the value they are looking for.
  24. nate82
    There is no evidence that a trade request lowers a players value absolutely no evidence it is just fan speculation.
  25. nate82
    Not even close to being enough. Why would the Jays take Civale if they are trading Bichette? This makes no sense at all and the Jays are currently the #1 WC in the AL. Why would they trade one of their better hitters for Civale and non top 100 prospects? This trade just makes no sense at all for the Jays.
