    Not sure if already posted but there is a rumor swirling that Brewers and Rays are 2 teams willing to pay up for Bieber. 4.8 WAR 2 years ago but out until June due to TJ, and probably looking at 2 year offers. I like it in theory, we could get a good playoff pitcher this year plus a full season and maybe even a comp pick. But practically I don’t get it because it’s not the biggest need, we have limited budget and already took the risk with Woodruff.

    FA signing candidate Justin Turner? Sounds like age 40 still planning to play and perhaps finally old enough and cheap enough to come to Milwaukee.

    I am hoping someone posts the payroll analysis, but with Rhys opting in and the TV deal, I was definitely expecting a cheap offseason. My wish list includes Trade for a 3B, either from Devin Williams (top 100ish prospect) or trade away a 40 grade prospect for a stopgap Devin Williams trade has to happen, hoping to pick up a top 100 prospect Sign a few bargain bin pitchers Don’t salary dump anyone like Rhys Kind of hoping they can bring back Gary Sanchez but probably unlikely

    Why would we trade Civale? Isn’t he like our #3 or #4 pitcher? And without him we would have to go sign a guy similar to Civale?
  5. umphrey
    Wow can't believe he's 30. His numbers the last 2 years are solid when he played (about half a season in 2 years). I would take him but I think he ends up on a crappy team on a 1 year deal trying to build his value for 1 more big payday. He would be a role player here competing for playing time, most likely.

    I don’t think I can handle watching a game 3 at this point

    1 playoff win in the last 10 games just kinda makes me want to give up

    Good night

    I can’t remember ever seeing a pitcher getting beat to 1b like that. Why was Payamps so slow?
  10. umphrey
    Well hopefully Adames gave Winker a piece of my mind 😂
  11. umphrey
    Man I hate Winker

    We don’t have anyone better than Bauers and his .193 avg? I know his other stats like obp aren’t terrible but cmon at least hit .200 as a 1B/DH hitting 6th.
  13. umphrey
    Well probably but it looks like he only had 4 ABs career before today. He might be an interesting player to flash in September/October and ride him before the book is out.

    Wow Hicklen has been a 20 HR 40 SB guy in the minors for like 5 years and couldn’t get a real shot in the bigs
  15. umphrey
    I wonder if the Angels and Tigers have 50 page threads demanding playing time for him at MLB level

    My favorite part of the Montas trade was sending money to the Reds while also taking on this $16M contract (blue)
  17. umphrey
    The weirdest part about this trade was that I felt like Montas was probably a negative asset at 5.01 era and $16M AAV. Like I would have been less surprised to see Montas get DFA than Paxton probably.

    I haven't been a fan of this draft so far. I am not scouting players so I look at things a bit differently. Some things I look at are 1. Did it look like their strategy worked and the draft board fell nicely for them 2. Did they use all their bonus pool effectively On the 1st one they were clearly pivoting to pick up some under valued HS guys which may have sort of worked but they didn't land any big prize and Levonas not signing clearly burned them. On the 2nd one, we'll see but so far it looks like they have too much money and no great options. They picked up some lotto tickets though so hopefully one of them works out and I don't hate their top 3, just pretty underwhelmed.

    This ump is blind as hell
  20. umphrey
    Well Civale and Montas this is the kind of haul I was expecting as of 2 weeks ago. Was hoping for a bigger surprise though.
  21. umphrey
    Yeah ride or die with Hoskins at this point. If they bench him I think it will be in the playoffs or maybe a few weeks prior. The only crazy move they could make there is to salary dump Hoskins in a trade and also bring in a Carlos Santana type of guy, but I’ll give that less than 1% odds.
  22. umphrey
    Our 8th and 9th best relievers aren't going to have any trade value, I'm surprised that's controversial 😂. You guys can keep trying to sell them though and we'll hope that some other GMs read it.
  23. umphrey
    I’m still kinda confused that guy could never learn to play 2B. Could have made him tens of millions of dollars.
  24. umphrey
    Frelick’s bat plays at 3B but with some caveats short term, yes, because the bar is low on this team at the moment, and only if his defense isn’t so bad that it’s a deal breaker long term, maybe, but you have to project him as a hitter more like his MiLB numbers (high avg/obp and doubles) and some combination of good defense and/or a bit of growth in power i would not be shocked if he was able to grow into above average defense there and adequate hitting if the organization chose to go that route, over the course of a few years
  25. umphrey
    They could DFA Keuchel and Joe Ross to make room and it wouldn’t bother me. Could get ugly if there are post July injuries though. Not sure what the AAA depth looks like right now and if they could add to the AAA depth before August (send Keuchel there for example or make a trade).
