Miami acquired Groshans at deadline last season and he took over the majority of 3b games. Miami also played Joey Wendle around the infield and 3b. All but 3 of BA's OF games came after the trade. Brosseau has a worse fielding pct than Urias at 3b BA is better than both with an upper tier arm strength throwing to 1st. Jace Peterson comp works defensively for 3b. Jace was only above avg defense they had at 3b. The EV for BA his 2 solid seasons touched 90+ avg. The other seasons about 88 reducing his numbers. Depth for 3b defense but lower batting ability. Sorta a sideways move and it adds questions towards Turang's OD status. If the team moves Hiura this makes perfect sense.

Ok taken from his milb page. March 13, 2019 Milwaukee Brewers optioned CF Tyrone Taylor to San Antonio Missions. October 29, 2018 Milwaukee Brewers selected the contract of Tyrone Taylor from San Antonio Missions They used an option during an offseason? Feels like Rule 5 protection? Then required an option to not be on the Opening day roster? I guess. It's kinda odd how much value he's getting when he caries a below .240BA and Below .300 OB bat. Fangraphs suggests he was worth $16.6M last season. And $10.5M the season before. Just no way a team would pay 2/27m for him in FA. Anyway, I started this because if he had an option I would question if he was on Opening Day roster. Blake Perkins and options, Mitchell and Frelich needing to play a full season of games, Yelich/Winker; I just feel he needs to be odd man out. Traded. Read above question Mitchell maintaining a bat profile to stick and here sits Taylor sticking on the team what must be Mitchell's floor. Mitchell has options if he's having a bad season and that's where Perkins comes in to cover.(if Wiemer isn't an option)

With his 4 year career 2020 and last year just feels like he should. And browsing he apparently had no options going in to last season. But why? 2019 he played in September to begin his career til game 162. Does he lose an option when he didn't play on postseason team? Optioned in 2020 and 2021. Last season his time missed was due to concussion protocol and he couldn't be optioned anyway apparently. Where's his 3rd option in his career? Being called up in 2019?

Question. Does Taylor have Options remaining?

For a context this is where the turnover begins as the team has 8 Free Agents after 2024 season. SPs~Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff, Eric Lauer, Adrian Houser, and Wade Miley(if option was picked up) SS~ Willy Adames 1b~Rowdy Tellez Relief Pitcher~ Matt Bush FAs after 2025 include 3b/Util~Luis Urias RP~ Devin Williams, Hoby Milner 1b/DH~ Keston Hiura 3b/Util~ Mike Brosseau FA after this season is Jesse Winker and Miley if we don't pick up option, as well as C Victor Caratini. Looking at the current top 30, it would seem the team has more than enough #3 ceiling SPs to #4/5 floors. So one would probably think a target in trades would involve a SP with #2 type ceiling(Ace ceiling I'd expect are untouchables) OF we know is set moving forward with a surplus of talent. There are a good number of SS type prospects with a couple 2b prospects. Tyler Black heads the 2b future beyond Adames exit that would see Turang take over at SS. Catcher-Contreras and Quero when ready who based on defense applauds I would think is an early long term extension not long after he begins his ML career. That leaves 1b/3b. The one idea I have is that this will be a future William Contreras home at 1b. There is still Yelich through 2028 that I think could be used at 1b.(he doesn't have 1b games professionally but had 1b among his predraft position) If those aren't 2 solid options moving forward, the team has 0 1b among top 30 and must address the position in trade or FA signing. 3b. I think the belief has been the lacking at SS defensively would have 3b as an option to play(Urias an example) But so far this strategy hasn't played out. The batting ability is SS quality that doesn't fit what 3b should see producing on good seasons. Team like 1b needs to address this in future trades or FA signings. RPs. So volatile and they definitely have options addressing the future beyond Williams. Plus the numerous #3 ceiling SPs that fizzle out to Swingman status generally thought is their stuff would play up more when turned in to a Relief Pitcher. And there are always avenues towards finding RPs in trade or FA signings. 3b is the highest priority fix for the team to find with multiple years of control beyond 2024. Man and going through BRef looking for young 3b types that you would think is available in trade, pretty hopeless 24 and younger. Brett Baty who is one of the types you'd think not available in trade has under a .920 fielding pct in his pro career(where league avg across MLB was .964) Urias was at .940. Not a fun landscape. Players that were 24 and under who I checked on and thought maybe lets see their scouting report from MLB and a team top 30. Think only 1 appeared in a team's top 30 so the guys I thought to look at are basically after thoughts, Would need to see them last a full season playing regularly for their team with 3b as designated position to have faith that is somebody who solves 3b for Milw future.

The forthcoming trades deadline or next offseason are going to need some creativity as SPs will be needed as will 1st&3b. Will probably see some of our middle infield surplus prospects get thrown in to sweeten the return. It's so tough in regards to 1b/3b as the gap from untouchable to top of the next tier always sit wide. It's like 850-900+ OPS to 720-770 OPS. And here we sit how many seasons now where the team hasn't drafted and developed even that 720-770OPS bat at either position. The next 4months of baseball will determine a lot what value they have with Ashby and the OFs+Turang. Gasser/Jacob M/Small looking any the part of future 3s at least. I dream of a day the team starts an over 800 OPS certainty bat for years at 1b or 3b.

Well for an idea on why not. Gotta imagine a deal would look like. 23 is about to be hashed out. 2024-2030. 7 years. 276mil. 30m 39m 40m 41m 42m 43m 44m. Many bites at the apple remember. Or take that nearly 40m a year avg split to 3 players at 11, 13, and 16m.

Interesting that mlbtr had a Big hype prospects post and 1 name was Ezequial Tovar. a SS for the Rockies who is from Venezuela. Could probably put a brother relation for Pedro? Would be a nice sign with E.Tovar being 6' even and a pedigree line to expect big things coming from Pedro if they are brothers of course.

Shows Y. Rodriquez at 6-1 so 2 inches taller at signing. Also solid 185lb frame. 1 pitcher not even 140lbs! That will require a big change. Pedro Tovar one of the youngest signings listed at 6-1. Would be an early name to watch where he's at 2 years from now. CF 160 so room to build that frame and hit the 6-3 to 6-5 prime height.

I'd be curious how many players signed that were even 6'2 or more versus the amount of players under 6'. More bites of the apple I'd think for the under 6' crowd to do so. Adding. Maybe it's just a Venezuela area thing where typical heights are below 6' There were 6 jerseys on that table and I don't think any were the top 3. Maybe 1 was. So bigger class forthcoming. I'm wrong all 3 were there di turri was name posted above on jersey its dituri together I had eye open for split name. Erue is a little hidden thought maybe different letters.

All 3 5'11" mildly reduces that top upside. Being tied for most money to spend would have liked 1 of those 6'2/6'3" boys that more likely have another 1-2" growth to come. It's interesting to me you go to pipeline and 2 of them already repping Brewers with the hats. The film clip on Rodriquez leaves some to be desired. But it's only like 8 swings and 3 throws that lead to that comment. Welcome to the team boys!

Would roster resource maybe include a deal that's minor league with invite and if makes roster is X amount?

After what they've agreed to can someone update where the Brewers payroll now stands for 2023? Only Burnes Tbd.

I'm a little hesitant towards older players with the current pitching era of velocity spin rates and shorter SP outings with RPs finishing games. Why I chose Rodriguez because he's a great who's not long removed from baseball. Could have chose Bonds but he'd just be walked and our hitters would strand him.

Won't lie when first reading the proposal I thought who else is Cleveland adding? I did not know Cleveland has control of Ramirez thru age 35 season 25mil and less every year before. He's everything a team would want to build around. #2 or 3 hitter and 3b switch hitter. There is no reason for Cleveland to trade away what you practically set out finding as they have it. And cheap cheap and more cheap controlling it. It must be known by GMs Cleveland isn't taking calls on him. That they'll call you when they want to make a trade offer including him.

Who is Milw waiving from the SP rotation? He also lines up with being gone after 2seasons. The rotation doesn't need adding. Not short term. Beyond 2024 yes but not up to 2024. Need bats. Not trading bats for short term pitching. Extensions take two to tango. Not a good sign Miami hasn't extended Lopez already to believe his next team will before Free Agency. They did sign Cueto to a 1+1 deal. Lopez has real solid numbers yet via that rumor and trade offers he's giving off value of a #3-4 SP vibe vs a solid #2 value. So that's like 15-18mil FA years on extension. Miami should have done that vs get Cueto. Gotta be Lopez wanted no extension.

Alex Rodriquez at 3b. Brought all the batting you want to see at #3. BA, HRs, OPS.

Surprised the Twins are out. Angels are always in need of pitching beside the Twins. Miami would also be a team to sign him, especially if there were able to trade away one of their stud pitchers for a bat or two they want and need. Legit two seedy places where what Bauer did is tame and not taboo.

BC82 yeah I was thinking more next offseason. Lux would have to be Y. Betancourt and worse I think to trade for Adames before game 100 on the season. I also think Adames will see his value rise with no shifting so trade talks with Adames suitors would likely be not available at this time responses, unless your parting with (X not touchable player themselves)

Reads like Luz is going to SS and Rojas as a backup. So if/when Luz doesn't carry defensively at SS full time then serious talks could happen with LA for Adames.

A 2032 Cleveland vs Cincy WS. In thos Era? MLB smoking.

Turang has vibes/ stat similarities being a Kolten Wong. Only he could do SS and not just 2b. Low ceiling, high floor with plus defense. So long as he maintains a respectable BB/K rates. Consistent 2-3.0WAR starter. He ran in to more HRs last season it would improve that upside but you fear are Ks increasing to.

Cain had a great first 2 seasons. 2020 happened and I think based how he played out 21-22 that he became more invested in his kids and family than really caring about baseball. Players and stats in this 2020-2024 window we're in just come with an asterisk. There was the lockout last offseason. Minors didn't play a game in 2020. Think some of what we've seen with Free Agency this offseason is closer return to business as normal. The team if possible should still sign a future Cain deal when the right opportunity appears. What happened last season is an after effect of 2020. Unfortunately continues with how often a good Brewer team is stricken with bad luck.

Lauer isn't a #1-2 type pitcher. He's posting #3 numbers while carrying scary #4-5 Fip numbers. He gave up 27HRs last season and the HRs aren't coming from nowhere. Just another average year 1.3HRs/9. I think the fact he's left handed is where he outperforms his expected Fip/ERA. He's useful til he's not. Definitely not worth an extension. Think about it. Nobody clamor that he should pitch from the bullpen. He doesn't have a plus pitch to his name. Looking it up and didn't realize not only are Burnes, Woodruff, &Lauer FAs after 2 seasons but so is Houser. That does bring merit towards adding a Cabrera or Braxton Garrett to the staff. Not an offseason move that makes sense for Milw but mid-season or next offseason.
