  1. I agree. If a team makes Milwaukee a reasonable offer for our ‘proven closer’ we should certainly consider it. Megill turns 32 years old next month. Counterpoint: Megill has a lot of fire and seems like a clubhouse leader. Counter-counter point: Megill threw only 47 IP this year and last. 1.5 WAR this season is nice but should not be overvalued.
  2. A healthy Buxton is great. I feel like Buxton is Minnesota’s franchise player, though. It would be like Milwaukee dumping Ryan Braun. Twins would presumably want much more than Collins and Wilken. Also, Buxton miraculously played in 126 games this season. I would take the under for games played in 2026.
  3. Dumping salaries of Hoskins, Quintana and Woodruff makes quite a bit of difference compared to 2025 payroll. I understand Woodruff still gets his buyout, regardless.
  4. And yet, we trailed only the Dodgers and Yankees in runs scored and our offense was still often maddening 🙂
  5. I do not follow college football. At the same time, Washington being favored to win by only 10.5 points seems ridiculously low.
  6. https://babylonbee.com/news/man-cant-wait-to-be-disappointed-by-his-favorite-baseball-teams-offseason-moves "It's going to be exciting to see what they don't do this winter," Kimmel said.‘ "It's like a really sad version of Christmas," he said. "You get to fire up the ‘hot stove' talk and look around at all the other teams making trades and signing new players to improve their rosters, and then you look at your team and feel that familiar emptiness. There's just nothing like baseball, even in the offseason. It'll be great." 🙂
  7. I can’t imagine a better player that could conceivably sign with us on a one-year $22 million deal. at the same time, I haven’t thought very hard about this.
  8. Milwaukee has frequently been comfortable spending money on one or two year commitments. Peralta, Woodruff and our cast of young starters could be formidable.
  9. You are right. At the same time, if the players collectively bargain for this system, then it is fair in that regard. This is what players signed up for.
  10. Suter turns 37 next summer: 4.52 ERA last season. 4.57 FIP Ten seasons under his belt, so far. I assume he gets a major league contract somewhere? I think his days are numbered, though.
  11. That could be nice. At the same time, I think Contreras will be eager to get his $100M guarantee after 2027 season. Whoever signs Contreras in 2028 will have a 30-year-old catcher with a lot of miles on him. If anyone can fight through injuries and aging, it is probably Contreras, though.
  12. Like 99% of players, it is hard to imagine Milwaukee being happy with paying over $100M for a player that is in their 30’s and assuredly past their prime. Brewers have two more seasons of Contreras. Yelich has three seasons left on his deal. Maybe we give Contreras the Yelich money in 2029 and beyond? I assume we hope Quero is the future but maybe Contreras becomes our Salvador Perez 🤷‍♂️
  13. Contreras receives a $100,000 buyout check (he otherwise would not have received) for the ‘insult’ of the Brewers exercising their choice to trust the collectively bargained arbitration process, which I assume they will still avoid. I trust the Brewers do a fair job communicating their business thinking before, during and after the decision.
  14. Depends if he adds another 25 lbs of muscle. Frelick might look like Eric Thames by spring. 💪
  15. I doubt playing with a broken finger helps Contreras during arbitration. It is hard to quantify that value. Regarding reward, Contreras will get at least $10 million from Milwaukee this season. He will be fairly compensated in 2026.
  16. Obviously right call on Hoskins. I think we captured the right amount of value with one year of Quintana. I’m sure we could always trade for him in 2026, if necessary 🙂
  17. The post says Durbin played primarily second and short.
  18. Baldwin has a touch more WAR for bad team. Horton maybe didn’t pitch enough over the season?
  19. For being the best regular season team in baseball, did we or will we win any individual awards in any category? 🙂
  20. I assume the expiring collective bargaining agreement makes Milwaukee more risk averse to committing long term money this offseason. Unless,…every team becomes risk averse and the Brewers sense an inefficiency. 🤷‍♂️
  21. I feel like we’ve all spoken our piece on Peralta. Let’s keep him for $8 M and take the draft pick. If we do trade him, let’s hope for something better than Ortiz and Hall 🙂 2026 Brewers will be the most likely team to win the division next year. Let’s have at least one top of the rotation veteran.
  22. The Cubs message board frequently suggests some owners are worried about the next CBA and would hesitate to commit additional long term money this offseason 🤷‍♂️
  23. Dancing with the Stars has a salary cap and competitive balance
