  1. At this date, I would be trying to find a Jerry Hairston Jr. type player for 3B as the top priority. Only need someone for a year at 3B. Unless we are acquiring a guy with 3-5 years of service remaining - then go ahead and do a full Yelich trade and include Jett Williams / Adams +.
  2. I kind of assumed this was Bucknor's way of retiring quietly. With the union, if he really wanted to ump they could force MLB to use him (I assume).
  3. If you send Sproat down it is to give him some time off, so there are no issues at the end of the season with workload. I think he is the #4 (or #3 if Woody isn't available) starter (or opener) for us in the playoffs if we do not acquire a frontline starter at the deadline.
  4. The other teams can see this too. I don't think I would trade for him at close to fair value if I was a rival GM. Who knows what the dehydration/fainting issue really was. Then he got sick during a game, and now a hamstring?......
  5. They are not going to DFA Kuhnel (my assumption, from the leverage spots they have been pitching him). So Yoho or Rom.
  6. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/06/red-sox-trade-rumors-sonny-gray-open-waiving-clause.html Sonny Gray. I only bring it up since we like our Boston trades, and we are going to need another frontline starter for the playoffs. Bonus - an old Brewer mention. ........ It bears emphasizing that the mutual option won’t be viewed by any acquiring teams as a possible extension of club control. It’s been 12 years since a mutual option was exercised in MLB by both parties (Brewers, Aramis Ramirez in 2014). Mutual options are more or less accounting measures, effectively functioning as small-scale deferrals by kicking a portion of a player’s guaranteed salary for one season onto the following year’s books in the form of an option buyout. Generally speaking, if a player performs well enough for the team to exercise its end of an option, that player has likely performed well enough to turn down his end of the option in search of a larger deal on the open market. Conversely, if the player is exercising his end of an option, it’s because he doesn’t he feel he can top that option value in free agency (whether due to injury or poor performance), thus leading the team to decline its end.

  8. That doesn't explain the taking him out in the middle of the game, where the manager has to take him off from playing defense at shortstop. If its planned, then he wouldn't have been playing. I think the Brewers had everything lined up and were close to pulling the trigger anyways, and the Rengifo getting dinged was the excuse to push the button.
  9. The Brewers need to have bench players that are making min.wage or close enough. If Lara is still the 4th OF in 2029, they are going to be looking to unload this contract to save payroll. I'm not against the contract as the gamble is, if he is very good, those option years are going to be very valuable either to us or in trade value.
  10. Regardless if joke, Skubal is on DL, so can't be traded, right? So you aren't holding out Lara that long. But, maybe another trade was imminent? Lara would be the most obvious chip to include depending on how big this is. https://www.mlb.com/brewers/news/each-mlb-team-s-best-trade-chip-in-2026
  11. I hope they bring up Fitzpatrick for Hall at a minimum. Don't mess with it, just put on DL. Plus, they really should DFA Woodford, and bring up Yoho. Yes, there is no true multi-inning garbage man, but how many times have we really used Woodford in the role like yesterday? I will be annoyed if Anderson ends up being day to day and not pitching to 10 days anyways. So i wouldn't object to bringing up CarGo to replace Anderson and be the "Woodford" for two weeks.
  12. Houser has pretty big splits for lefties hitting him. So I can see why Ortiz is not starting.
  13. I reckon it is to keep pitching as long as Woodruff/Henderson are out. Keep his innings/pitch count as low as possible in the mean time. DL stint when Woodruff/Henderson are ready, and after that see where the Brewers are at.
  14. If they move Priester to the 60 day DL, can they backdate that to whenever he was first officially out? If not, I assume they DFA Woodford?.... Need a 40 man spot.
  15. I assume Drohan will be in the starting pitching rotation instead of Patrick since I assume Koening will be up somewhat soon. Need a lefty/righty mix in bullpen. Plus Patrick makes it sound like he works better not knowing when he is pitching - nervousness. To me, if I was in the pen, I would be worried every day, versus as a starter I can relax on the offdays as I know I won't pitch.
  16. Put me down in the increased media revenue sharing and I would be happy for the Brewers. Personally, I don't mind not having money to pay for a high priced free agent. When you have that, those players are worth their cost the first 2-3 years and then are not playing up to the cost of the contract after. Then the last couple of years, they are not playing good enough to even be in the starting 9, but they keep their spot in the lineup just because they have the huge contract.
  17. And if the season ended today, there would be two teams under .500 the Twins and As in the playoffs. Add in the White Sox at exactly .500
  18. I don't know anything, but isn't that risking team chemistry for Abrams?
  19. Any reason Gasser wasn't sent down for Yoho/McGee? Or does that news just not come out until closer to game time tonight?
  20. What is the recovery timeframe for that? Up until it jeapordizes next spring training, might as well keep trying the rehab.
  21. If he doesn't slip and Abrams doesn't reach first, I bet they don't even score on him.
  22. Thanks for the information, I just thought it was humourous that you said that other than a 23 game stretch when we have only played 33 games. Other then 2/3 of the time the bullpen has been good.😎
  23. Wow, I assumed too much. We have him for a total of three arby years. So, that is not as good, especially if this year is a lost year. Well hopefully ii is an issue where injury was hindering his performance and whenever he comes back, he will be an above average pitcher (even though he wasn't for KC last year)
  24. Even if he sucked all year, it is way too early to say bust. Whether on the player or the trade (from either side). Zerpa has five years to develop value. He might be a below average pen guy until he costs more than min.wage or maybe he is a starter for a couple of years in there, or becomes an Ashby.
