  1. His quote is two years, option year ripped up, and seven new years added. Total package of ~$215m. Yelich is signed for 2 years $26.5m, so this appears to be a 7 year ~$190m extension (if all true).
  2. 9 years, well north of $200m. I am guessing the Brewers gave more money for the next few seasons and added 7 years on the end of 2021.
  3. I think the 2020 payroll is a direct result of money-saving to eventually try and extend Yelich. I won't be surprised if we see some of this again in 2021 as well. Trading Yelich would be bad for Milwaukee baseball business, even if it may be the best thing for Milwaukee Brewer roster construction. I am Mark Attanasio.
  4. IMO, these are easily the best set of home-away-home alternate in team history. I am not a fan of the navy away alternate, and wouldn't be surprised if it is replaced by a powder blue/royal blue version of the gray away jersey in the upcoming years.
  5. I had surgery for the same injury Jimmy Nelson had (torn labrum in throwing shoulder) in March 2019. I did all my rehab and exercises as instructed and, almost a year later, it still is nowhere near the same and aches when I throw. I understand his job was essentially rehabilitation in 2018 but I cannot fathom being able to pitch, let alone pitch well, against MLB hitters.
  6. I am coming at this more from a cost-control perspective. If Woodruff continues his ascendancy into an elite arm, he could be looking at significant salary increases when he becomes arbitration-eligible. If the Brewers could extend him past the 2024 season (when he becomes a FA at 31) for an additional year or two, it may be worthwhile.
  7. Agreed on Woodruff. Depending on how risk-averse you are, do it with Burnes as well. In fact, give Burnes the same deal as Peralta. I have a tremendous amount of faith that these three will be leading the rotation for the next five seasons.
  8. He won't get that chance. Anytime you can lock a guy into your rotation that throws 88 mph and has all below average MLB offerings at best...you have to do. So instead of an elite arm talent, say hello to Brett Anderson. I understand your point but I would like to see Burnes succeed in-season before giving him another shot at the rotation. When you see the term "sport psychologist" next to any player, I think on-field success is of the utmost importance. Give him the opportunity to succeed before putting him back into the rotation.
  9. Just curious, would anyone trade Josh Hader straight up for Forrest Whitley? Assuming they are still good without the trash can banging, I see the Astros bullpen as the one area they could stand to improve.
  10. Love the signing and as Monty points out, these signings, when looked at collectively, really make a ton of sense. This team to me is the epitome of a regular season champion, depth and versatility everywhere with a superstar (Yelich) and potential superstar (Hiura) sprinkled in. Come playoffs, who knows, but I think they have positioned themselves exceptionally well from an offensive depth standpoint. It doesn't hurt to have a former superstar who's still a very productive contributor (Braun) around, either. Totally agree with you...lest we forget last season:

  12. I wrote this in a separate thread but it seems to fit here as well. I think the lowering of the budget will also occur in 2021 as the Brewers seek to bank dollars in order to extend Yelich.

  18. So what you’re saying is they’ve positioned themselves to take on a majority of Nolan Arenado’s contract?
  19. Honestly, this. Now that the ball has been pointed out, that bothers me more than any of the new stuff. The odd location of the ball in the old BiG is what I see more than anything now. Combine this with the Pepsi seam and serifs on the M and the new logo is just more professional and thought out than the old BiG. The connection of the M and B is odd but makes it look more like a glove. As I have stated before, the new BiG is much better and I hated it initially. I was wrong.
  20. Adding onto this...I also don't want to hear players and agents whining about nobody paying them what they are worth when only a handful of teams can afford to pay them that salary. Wah!
  21. Little help on the size of these pictures?
  22. If the Brewers could acquire Bryant from the Rockies with a Freddy Peralta, Tristan Lutz and Trey Supak deal, that would be pretty sweet.
  23. If this were to happen, Stearns should be on the phone with Colorado and asking what it would take to get Bryant. That roster is not ready to win now, Bryant is only under contract until after 2021, and Colorado trading Arenado for Bryant would, in my opinion, be motivated only to get out of Arenado's contract.
