BrewCrewBlueDevil’s 2026 Payroll Blueprint:
Roderick replied to BrewCrewBlueDevil's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I have Yelich at $22M. Chourio at $7.0M Mitchell is going to be first year arby, so while injured, he is going to get more than $1M. Don't the pre-arby guys that have played get a small bump over league min wage (each ballclub pays a little different). Unless that has changed all those guys list at .8M might be a smidge more if they have played before (like Frelick). How do we know we are 20.83% under budget? Do you work for the Brewers and know what their budget is? -
Disagree. The less of Yelich in the OF, the better his back holds up during the season. I hope and assume Contreras gets more time off behind the plate, so he can DH against the tough lefties and Yelich is available to pinch hit those games.
-
Can we send Mitchell to AAA or can he refuse and choose FA? If we can, stick him down in AAA to make sure his swing is back after all these years..... I think between the three OFs, we will be fine. To start the season, platoon Perkins against lefties and Collins against righties. Frelick to CF on days Collins is playing. It isn't the best thing to yoyo Frelick, but he can handle it. And hopefully Mitchell is better than both and healthy and is CF everyday. I'd rather spend my money elsewhere I think (or hold for trading deadline). We might find out that Collins only had a bad month and is pretty darn good or Mitchell comes back and is pretty darn good.

If you go by pitching at least 160 innings, a 3.21 ERA is the 15th best pitcher in all of baseball.
-
I suspect if Woody takes the QO, the Brewers will be much more inclined to trade Peralta.
-
I don't see them trading an everyday player without getting an everyday player back. They need to start showing the fans that they are committed to winning sooner than later, and trading back for prospects would not be a good look (even if the prospects were good). Plus, I assume they will not want to drop the payroll, as they will want to show that they have been using the luxury tax money they get and not just keeping it in the owners pocket with negotiations coming up. They aren't that far away from the planets aligning and they get a .500 season. Last year they just happened to be in the toughest division in the NL.
-
To me, the only way we trade Peralta is if Woodruff gives a home town discount. We need a staff anchor, and no one else is that. But you can't discount that some team will just blow us out of the water with a trade (and that is what it would take), especially if they know they can sign Peralta long-term. If you get a young, cheap MLB bat and/or a young/cheap starter that is ready for MLB now .....
-
I think I would try to tack on one FA year to Turang's four arby years and have him five more years. You would be guaranteeing his arby years, as a selling point. Potentially front-load a little into 2026, since he hasn't made huge money yet, if that moves the needle. I don't see anyone else I would think where it wouldn't be too early (Miz depending on what it took) or too late (Contreras) or just would never do (relievers). I'm not sure Frelick is a guy you keep at free agent level money. if you are the Brewers, you need to keep churning that roster with cheaper corner OF options.

Offseason Big Name Potential Targets
Roderick replied to jay87shot's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
You have to include the $1.8M Braun, $1.0M Cain, $10MWoodruff, $.5MJansen, $2M Quintana in any 2026 budget estimates. Not sure on Hoskins deal. I have them at $107M running it back basically (w/o Woodruff, Jansen, Quintana) without including any salary for players brought up during the year. If they maintain the same thought that they want to keep salary available for the trading deadline, I really don't see them picking up a free agent. I would assume any notable roster addition would be from a trade. -
Yelich's back wouldn't last the season playing OF. And Ozuna can't play OF. Nope, just not a fit.

What could Freddy Peralta fetch in a trade?
Roderick replied to jonescm128's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
If you are GM you have to at least see what you can get for Peralta. In my mind, if you can't get a young, mostly proven 3B/2B/SS to move Ortiz to utility than you need to find a young starter that can come right in and be an option to be one of the 5 starters. There are enough question marks on the SP roster that having options is a good thing. Priester, Miz, Patrick, Henderson, Myers, Ashby (I think they really need to push this hard), Hall (maybe). If they trade Peralta for the IF bat, then you probably have to find another Quintana to sign to feel comfortable having starters to get through the year. -
Yeah, Woodruff is going to get $10M from the Brewers. No way the option is exercised, it is just the Brewer way to defer money on his 2025 contract. Then the negotiations start. I can see teams only wanting Woodruff for one year because of his injuries and the potential lockout. So I think he would probably get somewhere between 1/$20M-1/$24M from someone. If Milwaukee is able to do that, maybe he comes back. I only see them signing Woodruff if they have a trade for Peralta in place that is at least thought to be better then what we got for Burnes. They need one of these two pitchers on the roster next year.

You are not putting Hoskins on the roster to be a 1B, you are putting him on to pinch hit. Out of curiousity, has anyone seen Hoskins on the bench?

Let's save Selig for when we get to play Seattle in the WS, one of the storylines will be of Selig buying the Seattle Pilots. 😉
-
No, but I could see a scenario where they say Chuorio (all OFs) is totally healthy, so lets add the bat instead of the pinchrunner (who is only needed for Vaughn).
-
It was just made sense to make sure we max out all our postseason home games. Revenue for next year's budget.

Brewers-Cubs NLDS Game Four Thread - 10/9/2025 @ 8:08PM
Roderick replied to CheezWizHed's topic in Archived Game Threads
I assume since the Eagles are playing that MLB doesn't want their Philly viewership cut by the NFL game hence the early start for them. No idea if that is right or not. -
Spotrac has an amount listed for the players under 2026 arby. So I assume this is their guess at the amount. Mears 1.5M Vaughn 7.5M Bauers 1.75M Megill 6.5M Turang 2.7M Mitchell 2.0M
-
He can ask, but there is no way he is traded before there is one year left in the arby years. Mgmt would be crucified if they traded him away. If Skenes made a public stink and they got an absolute boatload in a trade, I could see trading him away with 2 arby years remaining.
-
I guess I would hold my nose and trade Payamps for Fedde.
-
Priester would be ranked 1`6th best ERA in all of baseball if you look at qualifying innings pitchers - but he needs a few more innings to get to that threshhold.
-
Dodgers aren't going to help at all are they?
-
I'm not saying Yoho will be on the playoff roster, but I am not so sure team management is staunchly production over potential. It's a weighting of risk/reward. If they were strictly production, they wouldn't have given Chourio a huge contract before he even played an MLB game.
