    He's 26 years old and has 3.5 years of team control left. He's going to be very expensive if the White Sox even entertain trade offers at all. Jarvis/Moore do not realistically move the needle at all. We gave up more for a half season of Carlos Santana! WAR is also a broken metric for DH-forward sluggers. The presumed baseline for a replacement level DH has become extremely unrealistic, as evidenced by the Brewers' own struggles at 1B/DH this season.

    How in the world does that trade value website say Eloy Jimenez has negative value? He's been inconsistent and injury prone, but he's young, controllable, and has proven middle-of-the-order 140 wRC+ upside. He's not going to be cheap. I'd start by offering Mitchell plus some and would be happy to make that trade, because we need to try to win now.

    As with many moves: solid upgrade in a vacuum, but will be disappointing if this is all they do.

    Tommy Pham would be my #1 target. I wanted them to sign him as a free agent and he's looking even better now. Everybody slept on him because he was injured for a few years but he's back to being great.
  5. SRB
    We'll be seeing him about as many times as we see Mark Appel 😈

    Could it be? We actually have a wave of positional prospects who are going to be successful in the major leagues?!

    Anderson has great upside and a high floor at two positions of relative need (3B/RF), which is why he was one of my dream targets this off-season. Great signing by the Brewers at just $3.5 million guaranteed! I never understand people who are disappointed by any signing that is not a guaranteed All Star. Between 2018-2020, Anderson was a 3-3.5 fWAR player per 162 games played. If he had not struggled with injuries the last couple years and was otherwise a free agent at 29 years old, he easily would have been looking at a $70+ million contract this season. A team like the Brewers has to bank on upside picks. Also weird to criticize this move on the assumption that this bumps Urias to 2B and Turang to a utility role to start. Yeah, Anderson is a question mark, but you have to be extremely optimistic to pencil in Turang for better offensive production straight out of the gate as a rookie than Anderson put up even during his down years. I don't see how the Brewers are not a significantly better team now.

    Only thing I know about Miller (so far) is that he had a superhuman start to the 2022 season. I think he was hitting like .450 for the first couple weeks. So he was near the top of the free agent board in my fantasy points league, even though his points didn't continue to go up very much across the entire remainder of the season. ?
  9. SRB
    In 2021 he had a .328 OBP in AA, so I think it is quite optimistic to think he will be an on-base machine in the major leagues. I hope he tears it up though, why not. I will say that he would be a much more interesting prospect to me if he were an elite defender, which by all accounts he is not despite the speed.

    The trade suggests that Contreras is more or less valued correctly, because the Braves got a massive return here (Sean Murphy). It's just that a big part of an otherwise even trade was diverted to Milwaukee for some reason ?
  11. SRB
    Contreras, Winker, and Caratini are already an excellent mix of players to fill C/DH Career splits: Contreras, +108 vs RHP, +158 vs LHP Winker, +136 vs RHP, +87 vs LHP Caratini, +83 vs RHP, +82 vs LHP Winker hits at DH against all RHP, Contreras catches against RHP and DHs against LHP, Caratini catches against LHP and whenever needed to give Contreras a breather

    My recollection is that Ruiz's value skyrocketed based on his performance in 2022. It's possible all of the prospect evaluators were factoring in outdated information, and that his skills genuinely turned a corner. Whatever, even if he was a consensus top 100 prospect outfielder, I would love this trade given our needs and the other top prospect outfielders we still have.
  13. SRB
    As someone pointed out, the Braves had to throw in their #1 and #6 prospects plus. Yeah if we had been willing to give up that much more we could have gotten him. I personally prefer Contreras, who has much more team control and is less proven but has All Star upside. (Literally already was an All Star lol)
  14. SRB
    This is unbelievable lmao!
  15. SRB
    I agree more will be involved, but it's also possible that scouts value Ruiz way higher than internet projection systems, and that Stearns did not just "give away" Hader after all
  16. SRB
    Kyle Muller (ATL #5 prospect per Fangraphs) and Freddy Tarnok (ATL #12 prospect per Fangraphs) are headed to Oakland. The more of a return from Atlanta, the less they're getting from us ? I'm guess still one more significant piece though
  17. SRB
    I'd guess there's a non-ace pitcher involved, like maybe Ashby
  18. SRB
    I think he's pretty firmly considered an offense-first catcher, though he's also just 24.
  19. SRB
    This is the most exciting transaction since the week we added Yelich/Cain at once. Love Contereras
  20. SRB
    !!!! Fairly credible as this is one of the guys from Jomboy Media
  21. SRB
    I really like this trade, though not sure how you can carry both Winker and Hiura on the roster unless they are planning to regularly start Winker in the field. Hiura trade imminent?
  22. SRB
    Am I correct that if they tried to option him and he rejected it, he would be a free agent with the Brewers on the hook for his salary, but if they DFA him and he gets claimed on waivers another team pays his salary? I assume that's the logic here. And there isn't an obvious spot on the major league bullpen at the moment (even before Rosenthal is ready). This clearly does make the Hader trade worse though, because it proves that the front office doesn't think they can fix Lamet or that they were acquiring an undervalued asset.

    I feel like Turang is a bit underrated because of the (so far) lack of power. If he is indeed a plus defender up the middle, that's incredibly valuable even without much power. Tommy Edman is on track for a 5 fWAR season based on a similar batting line to what Turang might be able to produce and great defense at SS/2B.

    He has not been criminally convicted, no, but my point is that MLB just did a massive yearlong investigation with far greater resources than a DA's office would have in preparing a criminal indictment, and the commissioner's office evidently concluded that the allegations were sufficiently proven to hand down an unprecedented 2-year suspension. So it's not all just rumors and hearsay floating around.
