I think if AZ calls us they ask for Logan Henderson, and if we say no to that they call the Cubs, Yankees and Mariners. Maybe Myers can get it done, maybe need a sweetener, but I think they would try to aim higher.
“I don’t want to sit here and hope that things are going to happen,” Hazen said. “I’m kind of done hoping. We want to see it happen. It is what it is — we’ve been waiting now for the better part of three-plus months.
This is a direct quote from their GM. This is what a GM says when he’s about to sell but can’t say “we stink and I’m selling”.
They pretty much said they are trading Suarez and they want young pitching in return. I think Myers isn’t great trade bait personally but it’s hard to peg his value and it’s not crazy especially if paired with a prospect.

Although really I think Suarez is probably unobtainable because the bidding is going to get nuts. The Yankees for example may beat any bid unless it’s Logan Henderson or something.
They are probably going to sign 8 guys in the top 250. Last year they had 3, previous year 6, 2022 they had 4. That makes this draft look pretty solid I think, but they do need to sign those guys plus a few upside HS players.
It's hard to peg how far under slot they are but I guarantee they will take 1 or 2 top 150 players and if they have the money they will throw $1.5m+ at them to try to get a sign. Can't guarantee they sign though. I've seen them win enough times to hope on it.
Yeah hard to say. I would guess slightly under. He has options though, go back to school for whatever at Princeton or pitch a year and show he's healthy and maybe he's a 1st rounder.
I’m not quite sure what inning limits are going to do to the rotation. Mis I think 100% gets shut down before playoffs. Priester might. Henderson will. Chad Patrick maybe. Woodruff hopefully not but he could run out of gas late in the season potentially. So with all that they might really need a guy like Nasty Nester.
Just feels like a rough trade market this year. Lots of pitching, and some rentals at 1B/DH/OF. Not great for the Brewers. Suarez is really the standout, but he has his risks (may not even get traded) and has teams like the Yankees and maybe the Dodgers looking at him. The 2 biggest sellers are the White Sox and the Rockies and they just have absolutely nothing (no I don’t want to pay Ryan McMahan $30m to backup Durbin).
If Hoskins was out for the year I would be in on like an O’Hearn but with Hoskins coming back we just roll with him.
