Three trade proposals from Twins Daily
nate82 replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
So glad the Brewers didn’t trade for Polanco. I will gladly let the Mariners make this mistake. -
But it would still be funny if they do. Also I am just poking the foam cheese heads.
-
I haven’t looked but what about park factors for the two. I think Oakland is far harsher than KC? I think all of those take park factors into account but my brain no working today.
-
He is a good pass rusher but when it comes to run defense. I am not sure anyone is worse than him.
-
Staley would be a Berry clone. Their defensive scheme are exactly the same. It would be extremely funny to see the Packers go from Berry to Staley.

July 2025 MLB Draft - How Many Extra Picks?
nate82 replied to Jim Goulart's topic in MLB Draft & International Signings
While I love the enthusiasm for this we are going to need to pump the brakes a bit here. While I would love 6 picks in the first round this doesn't really mean much if it is a bad draft talent wise. The top of the '25 draft class looks really good with Ethan Holliday (3B), Jace Laviolette (OF), Chase Shores (RHP), Xavier Neyens (1B/OF) and Seth Hernandez (RHP) each could be the #1 pick. After that you have a bunch of early round draft picks but it is extremely hard to tell right now but those 5 would be at the top of the draft. What we would want to see is a lot of talent that are maybe mid 1st rounders looking for that mid 1st round signing bonus. If there are plenty of those around then having those extra picks and money will help the Brewers get a better pick otherwise it maybe JUCO or HS prospects who should have went in the 1st round but didn't because of sign ability questions. -
Barry was just a courtesy interview to fill the minimum number of interviews. Washington was the hire everyone else had no chance.

But muh roads!
-
Umm it is a 2-year deal. There is just an opt out option for Hoskins after year 1. The opt out after year one for short contracts looks to be the standard now. I believe Conforto and Bell did the same last year.
-
Hopefully it was not a NSFW one.
-
Fairly safe bet it is true. Not sure there was anyone else they even looked at since it was this quick.
-
Maybe Santana as the primary 1B with Hoskins at DH? He may not be 100% yet and the Brewers would want him to be able to play the full year so Santana at 1B. Maybe this was the plan and Santana wanted more than what the Brewers were willing to give to get both.

I hope it keeps staying down until I get approval from work to be able to buy! One of the few times this is actually going to work out for me! Usually I can buy ETF's without having to get approval first but this one is not on the pre approved list.
-
All lies! We were told all off season that this wouldn't happen and MA was just being cheap and wouldn't spend on anyone this off season! I refuse to believe this is true!

You do know Wagner was a relief pitcher? Right? HOF that are around Billy Wagner's 27.7 WAR: Trevor Hoffman 28.0 Rollie Fingers 25.6 Bruce Sutter 24.1 Lee Smith 28.9 Unless you are willing to admit Hoffman, Sutter and Fingers shouldn't be in the HOF sure Wagner then doesn't qualify.
-
Another disappointing HOF vote today. How do you vote Joe Mauer and Todd Helton in but not Billy Wagner?
-
Not sure there is a HC out there that will make them play defense. That has been the problem the team just doesn’t want to play defense at all. Also they don’t have anyone that can help Dame when there is a high pick and roll. Lopez can’t do that anymore as he is to slow. I don’t think there will be much difference other than there being a new HC. The team must have really hated playing for him or something for this to happen.

For Amazon it is not the subscription that matters it is that you are using their platform and your data that you are giving to them that is valuable. It is basically free marketing for them and that data is worth more than a million subscriptions. Even if you only subscribe for a couple months your data that you are providing is more valuable. I believe MLB wants to own all of the teams digital rights. Right now I think there are only like 5 teams that don’t own their digital broadcasting rights. If MLB owns them all and the regional sports TV fails it wouldn’t be as bad since MLB will own the majority of the digital broadcasting rights. This would allow MLB to equalize the revenue to all teams that MLB owns the digital broadcasting rights to. Unfortunately the Brewers don’t own their digital broadcasting rights as Bally has the contract rights for that. I think Amazon buying or investing in the few teams rights will give them a leg up on negotiating for all of MLB digital broadcasting rights in the future. I wouldn’t be surprised if in 5-10 years the only baseball games on cable will be on ESPN, Fox or FS1.

Because the way cable tv is going it is going to be like streaming. If you haven’t received a new box yet well you are in for an experience. Cable will no longer come in through the coax cable soon. My grandparents just experienced this with their new cable box. It is all on WiFi no cables. The new COX boxes are basically streaming boxes. It is only a matter of time before you will have to install an app on them to watch the specialized channels like FSN, ESPN, etc. Heck you can already watch Netflix, Amazon Prime and other streaming services on it. So you won’t be able to just flip to FSN everyday you will have to go to the app or watch on one of the streaming services. It is coming and the cable companies don’t care if you don’t like it. You could always just go over the air and they know you won’t do that at least 90% of their customer base won’t because they are addicted to the tv programming. Plus if the FSN’s go to Amazon 95% of the games will be on Amazon minus the few that are on Apple, Facebook and YouTube. But those would be on there regardless so you wouldn’t be able to watch them by flipping to FSN anyways. With streaming you could just flip to YouTube or Facebook very easily though.

There is still a TV and digital agreement between the teams and BSG. So I don’t believe that will change anytime soon. Maybe a local channel will pickup the team like the Suns here in Phoenix. All of the Suns games are locally televised on basic and over the air. The death of BSG is a god send for being able to easily access the teams. Hopefully a local channel picks up the Brewers.

Well they need that demographic. If MLB doesn’t capture that demographic then there really is no need to even go after the 50/60 demographic. The sport will be dead or very close to it if they can’t get the 20/30 demographic. I believe once cable goes away it will be far easier to follow local teams.
