    Realistic return is probably something close to what the Brewers got back for one year of Burnes. If this season goes sour then the Brewers probably get the Burnes return at the deadline depending on how well Peralta is pitching. Otherwise I don’t see the Brewers trading him and instead just go with the pick compensation instead.

    What is going to suck after this season is that the Bucks don’t have a draft pick in this upcoming draft. So the Bucks will have to figure out how to replace Lopez without a pick. I think they may move Giannis to the 5 and either try and find a cheap 4 in FA or try and trade for someone. I don’t think they will want Bobby playing the 4 in the starting rotation. Hunter Dickinson maybe an option as an undrafted FA but I think he gets drafted somewhere in the 2nd round. May be able to trade into the 2nd or late 1st but I am not sure on who they could trade to do so.

    This is obviously Jim Diego Edmonds.

    If they lose this game it is over for Marquette. They are looking like an 8 seed right now.

    While I like DeJong I can see why the Brewers didn't offer him a contract. Some of his advanced stats show he is in decline. He hit 24 HR's last year but I wouldn't expect that again probably something closer to 10-15 with a .200 average. OPS wise DeJong was just barely better than Turang. I wouldn't have minded adding DeJong but also not adding him I am fine with. DeJong is just a guy and nothing more.

    You are thinking of the last CBA and not '94. In '94 the players union wanted more revenue sharing in exchange for the salary cap. In the last CBA the players union wanted a salary floor if there were to be a hard cap or one similar to what the NBA has. The owners couldn't agree on a salary floor in the last round of the CBA and ditched their ceiling cap.

    How is it coming to an end? Which team has gotten significantly better? The Reds didn't get significantly better and the Pirates are still the Pirates. The Cardinals didn't add anyone this off season. The Cubs added a bit but they also lost out on a few players. The Cubs didn't add 10 more wins to their team they still look to be a 80 win team. The Reds still look to be about an 80 win team. The Pirates still look to be a 70 win team. The Cardinals look to be about an 80 win team. Which team in the NL Central improved? The Brewers have also spent from time to time. The 2019 season was at about $140mm and the 2022 team at $130mm. The Cardinals and Cubs are in completely different markets than the Brewers and really should be out spending the Brewers by more than what they are spending. Right now the gap is not that much compared to the gap between the Brewers and the Dodgers. The Cubs should be able to spend as much as the Dodgers or very close to it at least. The Cardinals should be able to spend up to the first spending cap but they haven't gotten close to that in a while and are currently trying to get under or around where the Brewers are spending now. Notice the Cardinals signed absolutely no one this off season.

    I don't think you can trust a single word out of Nightengale's mouth and you need to dissect it 100 different ways just to find the truth.
  9. nate82
    LOL a quote from Nightengale. HAHAHAHAHAHA that guy contradicts everything he does and I am not sure how he keeps on getting interviews with teams. So which is it? Does he not want to win a WS or he does?

    It is physically not possible to gain 25lbs of muscle in the time frame that is being talked about. At most you are going to gain about 2-3lbs of muscle a month. You will gain more when you start and then you will start to flatten out as it gets harder and harder to add more muscles. Frelick may have gained 25lbs but it wasn't all in muscle. He probably gained about 8lbs in muscle and about 17lbs in fat. Even if Frelick was on the best roids known to man he wouldn't gain 25lbs of muscle in about 4 months. If we take the average of 3lbs a month that would be about 12lbs of muscle. Most professional body builders can't even hit that. Realistically he probably only gained about 4lbs of muscle.

    One large market team down. The Mets will be streaming their games through MLB Media and there will be no blackouts for the Mets in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and parts of Pennsylvania. Currently the Dodgers, Phillies, Astros, Mariners, Giants, Orioles and Nationals do not have a streaming option. I wouldn't be surprised if a few of those teams join MLB Media instead of building their own streaming option. Financially it makes more sense to work with someone who already has the infrastructure built to do this and MLB Media already has it built and is probably the best of all sports streaming. Article from the Athletic where the Mets (SNY) chose MLB Media over developing their own. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6143098/2025/02/18/mets-sny-streaming-blackout/

    Ummm no one talking about that pathetic showing by Jackson in the dunk contest? Good because it was absolutely horrendous and should be forgotten forever.

    This is incorrect we all know Italians grow by eating mushrooms it is a scientific fact proven by the great plumbers Mario and Luigi!

    Ortiz had an injury that impacted his swing where he had to change his swing in the middle of the season. That is never a good thing in the middle of the season. I would take Ortiz second half with a very fine pinch of salt. Ortiz didn't start to show some improvement until about September. I think his first half will be closer to what you can expect of him going forward career wise.

    Are we getting closer to Idiocracy?

    This US Canada game is just awesome. Three fights to begin and a lot of hard hits. This is a great game for an exhibition game.

    lol the first link on google search for this is a 404 error. https://help.fanduelsportsnetwork.com/Answer/Detail/000001528 It was supposed to be this month but they never gave a date of when.

    I think the money is on Rodgers going to the Steelers. The Steelers are kind of caught in the they are good but not good enough to be a threat in the AFC. They are the Kohl era Bucks of the NFL. Even if they add Rodgers it isn’t really enough to push them over into the top tier of teams in the AFC. Still a playoff contender but that is it. I don’t believe the Vikings are a serious destination for Rodgers. The 49ers could be a sneaky team for Rodgers depending what they do with Purdy.

    So with full return to office we have lost two people already with at least four looking for new jobs and of those four one or two may have offers. Interviewing for the two who left is just ugggg. I like my job but full RTTO is not something I am looking forward to.

    Since 2021 he has only played a total of 205 games and has only 863 PA’s over that span. For a full season it is about 600 PA’s. That gives the Angels about a season and two months over four seasons worth of PA’s.
  21. nate82
    Yeah they need to drive to the basket more as they are becoming way too reliant on the 3-point shooting. Mitchell needs to do more driving to the basket instead of settling for 3’s.

    There goes a top 4 seed for Marquette.
  23. nate82
    Why would the Brewers even want to do this? Rendon hasn’t even played more than 60 games since 2019. He is just not worth it unless the Brewers would be paying him the league minimum. He just doesn’t bring any value.
  24. nate82
    Looking like another loss unless they can turn this around.

    If they are bounced from the first round I could see Giannis saying enough and demanding a trade. As bad as that sounds I think it is probably the right direction for the franchise to go. The only thing with Giannis is that there are not that many teams you could trade him to. I thought Golden State would be that team but they traded and signed Butler to a new contract. I don't think they are a realistic destination now. The only other team I can think of is a three team trade between the Bucks Suns and another team. Bucks receive picks and an expiring contract. The Suns would receive Giannis and the third team would receive Durant. Dame I think probably goes to Miami for expiring and picks. The only thing that is going to suck is that these picks are going to be in the 15-20+ range. Yeah the Bucks will get multiple of these picks but ouch that is going to hurt to lose Dame, Middleton and Giannis for picks in the 15-20+ range. I just don't believe Giannis will want to stick around for a rebuild. He has said in the past he wants the team to be improving and I just don't see him wanting to stay around with a team that is a maybe a 8-10 seed in the playoffs. He will want to be on a team that is more of a championship contender and not a maybe we make the playoffs team.
