Bo Naylor, Codi Heuer to Crew for Perkins, Yoho
umphrey replied to etranger's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
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. -
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.
-
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.

Rating the Young Starters
umphrey replied to BrewCrewBlueDevil's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
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. -
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.
-
I would be surprised if it was Fischer. The K rate gives him a very low floor. He could be Tyler Black.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Yeah many fans are calling for his head. The Mendoza firing was obviously just a sacrifice to appease the fans. I think Stearns gets at least 1.5 years though. I am not sure they will tolerate another losing season.
-
I think if a team let's Freddy focus on 5 and dive they would get ace level rate stats. Always thought he would go to a team with a good bullpen that would just pull him early every game.
-
Giants almost definitely will sell. Trying to figure out how to fit Arraez into the lineup or Chapman into the budget. Arraez to 2B and Turang to SS? Bring in Chapman for the year and flip him in the offseason? Both highly unlikely. Thought about Wily for a minute (think they would eat salary) but he has a negative WAR and I don’t think he fits the team anymore (not that desperate for a defensive butcher at SS).
-
I didn’t mean last year, 87 IP of Mis vs 167 of Burnes. And I’m just saying that it’s not like we haven’t been here before, we were here 5 years ago (lucky to see great pitchers in this era of Brewers baseball).
-
Burnes in 2021 actually carried a lower FIP than Mis has now through 167 innings. Not trying to rain in the Mis parade but that was a great season.

Brewers (Sproat) vs Athletics (Perkins): 6/10/26, 8:05pm
umphrey replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Archived Game Threads
Will this be the highest scoring game ever? I'm expecting double digit run totals from both sides. -
Brewers (Drohan) vs Rockies (Freeland): 6/7/26, 2:10pm
umphrey replied to Frisbee Slider's topic in Archived Game Threads
Is it true that I'm not seeing any Brewers errors scored? Not watching that close but i thought I saw turang drop a pop up and maybe a mis played outfield ball in the first. -
Cubs at 48% chance to make the playoffs on fangraphs. Thought it was noteworthy they fell under 50% after their strong start to the season.
-
I think we are on track to need an inning eater or 2. Hard to say though because it depends on the health reports for Woodruff and Priester and innings limits for guys like Crow and Henderson.
-
Lately every night I check the scores and Brewers winning Cubs losing Mets losing and I go to sleep feeling good
-
Can’t wait til we get into June and some AAA hitter call ups become more viable. Lara, Pratt, Jett are all looking like interesting options right now. Would like to see Frelick in a platoon and defensive sub role until he works through his issues at the plate. The other ABs go to one of those prospects.
