    I don't think there has been an accepted mutual option in MLB since 2014. Probably if he stays healthy then the brewers offer, because if nothing else he would have positive trade value. Will probably take a 3 year deal to sign him at this rate.

    How many injuries does it take to get Gary an inning or 2 at SS
  4. umphrey
    Didn't 3 guys get hurt in a time span of just a few days? They clearly just filled a spot with some random scrub off the street while they figure stuff out and make real plans.

    I still have some hope long term, we have seen that type of turn around before, but his 2026 season is very much done (it was weeks ago IMO)

    Sproat was gross today no way around it
  7. umphrey
    See ya in 2027 Sproat
  8. umphrey
    Sproat superpower is putting a few base runners on and giving up a big hit and then quietly retiring the side after all the runners were plated. So obvious that guy just doesn’t have it mentally right now.

    Been going though some other trades and this one feels like an overpay compared to Mize and Peralta but the Cubs gave up a lot for Holmes so that balances it out a bit.
  10. umphrey
    We lose trade deadline week every year. It's the one huge negative on an otherwise great FO.
  11. umphrey
    That prospect haul is basically nothing. Just org depth guys very likely.
  12. umphrey
    Naylor is not a bad pickup, definitely not an exciting one though. Think this trade is more forward looking to next year and beyond but might also give us flexibility for another trade this year. I was not too attached to either guy we sent out.
  13. umphrey
    It's an interesting trade deadline this year. 3 teams were supposed to be good but fell flat and are essentially in fire sale mode. Mets giants Tigers. Lots of interesting players there. Most on expensive contracts, but not all. Many will get gobbled up by the Dodgers and Yankees for small prospect costs. Then the bottom feeder teams. I count 5. Royals As angels Reds Rockies. Not many great players there but more sellers is better. Finally there are quite a few retool teams who are on the bubble and will likely try to trade for this year and the next few years. MLB talent going both ways. Probably about half the league falls into this category. Nats Mariners Marlins Padres Astros are a few standouts with lots of interesting players and looking to be active. Here's hoping for a lot of activity.

    It’s not crazy to think we could trade for a Seattle starter and get the good version (home splits). We get the good version of all the other pitchers we trade for.
  15. umphrey
    Was thinking about Seattle trade ideas. I think Jett for Hancock would be a great trade for us but not sure it does enough for Seattle to agree. Vaughn is a guy i am not looking to trade but I think he is closer to what they want. Would be interesting what that trade could look like.
  16. umphrey
    I still believe in Sproat. Think in year 2 or 3 he has a good chance to break out into a mid or top rotation guy. Don’t think we see much of that this year, not for more than a few innings at a time anyway. Therefore would want to avoid a sell low trade with him. Mis Drohan Harrison are untradeable and I can’t imagine a trade with Henderson in it that I would like because I think he’s set up for a strong 2nd half anyway. I’m not overly attached to any other name there. If we traded Ashby there would have to be a very premium name coming back because Ashby is a 2026 contributor too.
  17. umphrey
    That's a crazy package and I would be a no as well but it feels a lot more doable when you remember he is a FA in 2030 and we could have him for 2-3 years and get 50%-75% of that back when we trade him again. So I'm not that far from a yes but I just don't like trading safe infield prospects for a RP who could lose 2 years to injury at any moment.
  18. umphrey
    I would be surprised if it was Fischer. The K rate gives him a very low floor. He could be Tyler Black.
  19. umphrey
    The Cubs and to a lesser extent the Cardinals could be pretty dangerous if they successfully add pitching at the trade deadline. It seems like those trades bust a lot though, even for the higher end guys.
  20. umphrey
    You could probably sell me on the idea of Pena for Joe Ryan. Would be interesting to have 2 years of probably the best playoff starting 3 in the game. That's a move with the chance to get past the Dodgers. I wonder who the other pieces would be because I'm thinking they would ask for something like Fischer and Hardin to round out a package, that's when it starts to hurt.
  21. umphrey
    There are plenty of reasons that one isn't going to happen, but he fits the bill really well as a buy low mid rotation guy right now. Plus if he gets back into Brewer form then he can 5 and dive as my #3 playoff starter any day. As I mentioned there are better names available but I'm looking to make a trade without sending a top 8ish prospect.
  22. umphrey
    The goal would be to get a guy who could take regular season innings from Mis and Harrison, so they are fresh for the playoffs. Then he could move to bulk reliever in a playoff rotation. However, the team also has room for a playoff #3 starter, and some guys on that list could fill that role as well.
  23. umphrey
    The market this year looks likely to be saturated with starting pitching. There are a few teams that might gobble up multiple guys (Cubs, Cardinals) but hopefully we can grab a mid rotation guy at a discount. Casey Mize Jose Soriano Sandy Alcantara Foster Griffin Michael Wacha Robbie Ray ($$$) Freddy Peralta Personally would take Peralta, Griffin, Wacha in that order. There are better names on that list but these names are my bargain picks.
  24. umphrey
    Would love to add Paredes. Checked MLB prospect list and they have Quero Letson Dinges at 9-11, that’s probably the highest I would go, as Henderson and Fischer are just too steep. Paredes has a club option next year which isn’t too expensive.
  25. umphrey
    Was reading the MLBTR top 35 trade candidates and Chapman and Nolan Gorman are the only 3Bs on the list. Chapman isn’t going to happen (expensive) and Gorman was demoted to AAA due to poor performance (not to mention plays for a division rival). Sad.
