    The first two years of Kyle Lohse were fine. The final year was not.

    If the Pirates included airfare and hotel accommodations for a few games per year, then it might be a little more interesting. I suppose it was a well thought out publicity stunt from the beginning,

    The probability that the person who acquired this card lives near Pittsburgh, or cares about the Pirates was always pretty low. If this card actually is worth $1 million to someone, that is incredible. And makes it seem very unlikely anyone would turn down the opportunity to receive that kind of money.
  4. Frisbee Slider
    You were right. The Pirates were going to display the card at PNC Park. That seems like a lot for the Pirates to give up for a trading card. I guess it is a neat card but not sure fans would spend more money with the Pirates to see the card.
  5. Frisbee Slider
    I assume it was a good faith effort to help Paul Skenes and Skenes would keep it. Otherwise, why would Livvy Dunne care about helping the Pittsburgh Pirates?

    The retail value of tickets behind home plate at PNC Park is $100 to $200 each. Lets assume $100 per ticket x two tickets x 81 home games x 30 years = $486,000, not adjusted for inflation or playoff games. At a certain point, you can sell your home plate tickets and still receive a generous payout.

    Just read that an 11 year old from the Los Angeles area found the rarest Paul Skenes baseball card, one of one. Pirates offered anyone who finds the card: - Two season tickets behind home plate for 30 years at PNC Park - Personal softball game at PNC Park with Pirates alumni and 30 of your friends/family - Batting practice at PNC Park - Two Skenes autographed jerseys - ‘One of a kind’ spring training experience - Meet and greet with Paul Skenes - more Understandably, the 11 year old from Los Angeles declined the offer. The card is doubtless worth $100,000. I read maybe even $1,000,000. If the Brewers made a similar offer for a baseball card for a generational talent, how much cash would you need to receive from selling the card in order to reject a similar offer? Or, would you simply accept the offer to help the Pirates?

    It’s difficult to trust former Cardinal pitchers.

    That said, why not go out and sign Jack Flaherty 🙂
  10. Frisbee Slider
    Is Jack Flaherty a good pitcher sometimes confused for a great pitcher? mlb.com had a good write up on why Flaherty might not be signed yet. Flaherty’s FIP with Dodgers in 2024 was 4.16, same as Freddy Peralta. Flaherty hadn’t otherwise had a full season FIP below 4 since 2019.

    The Browns, Lions, Texans and Jaguars have really never been very close to winning a Super Bowl. They still have millions of fans. (tying this topic to people who wish major-league baseball was more like the NFL).

    Every team in every sport says we aim to win a championship. It is as true for Milwaukee as it is for most other teams in the world.

    Ryan Pressly being pressed to waive his no trade clause so Astros can trade his $14 million salary to the Cubs. Curious what the Cubs would give up to acquire Pressly. Pressly is 36 years old and coming off a season with 1.34 WHIP and declining strikeout rate. I suppose he is a ‘proven closer’ and maybe he will help the backend of the Cub bullpen. Seems like Pressly’s best days are behind him, though.
  14. Frisbee Slider
    I noticed this, too. I know very little about the Cubs system but didn’t think they had one of the best systems in the minors.
  15. Frisbee Slider
    Looking back on 2015, I thought surely we had more unsung heroes than this but actually no, not really. The bullpen was good with K-Rod, Jeffress, Will Smith, Knebel and Cotts (also Blazek). Rotation had Taylor Jungmann’s bright rookie season 3.77 ERA over 117 IP and Mike Fiers with 3.89 ERA over 118 IP. Jimmy Nelson was solid enough, too. Offset by Lohse and Garza’s worst years in their careers.
  16. Frisbee Slider
    Fair. Adames would have chosen Milwaukee for similar amount. You would really want Adames for seven years, though?
  17. Frisbee Slider
    Which free agent signings from this off-season do we wish the Brewers would have made? And would that free agent reasonably have chosen Milwaukee if offered a similar dollar amount?
  18. Frisbee Slider
    Genuinely, we should want the naming rights to be as valuable as possible for the Milwaukee Brewers, and should not want to undermine the corporate name.
  19. Frisbee Slider
    We will get the best of whatever Hoskins has left, which I think is plenty more than last year. Otherwise, in a contract year, there is not much separation between 2024 Hoskins and Rowdy Tellez.
  20. Frisbee Slider
    I’m genuinely less bothered by someone signing a 38 year old reliever who was barely above replacement level from 2020 to 2023 (due to injury). Yates had a nice bounce back year in 2024 but age could easily cause a regression.
  21. Frisbee Slider
    But don’t you think the Cleveland Browns or Jacksonville Jaguars deserve to regularly appear in the Super Bowl?
  22. Frisbee Slider
    There isn’t a lot of pain in this recent article https://www.mlb.com/amp/press-release/press-release-mlb-finishes-2024-season-with-highest-attendance-in-seven-years.html

    I don’t think anyone would disagree that having more money makes it easier to win. On a microlevel, many specific long term free agent signings are just poor decisions. Three WS winners in past 30 years from bottom half of payroll rankings is eye opening. I still don’t think I’d want the MLB to turn itself into the NFL.
  24. Frisbee Slider
    Signing players after arbitration to long term contracts typically means signing someone who is past their prime and will not live up to their contract. Granted, if you have a high payroll you can better absorb these mistakes. in most cases, it is still an suboptimal decision. We shouldn’t want to sign players who are past their prime to long term contracts. Maybe 🤷‍♂️ I think the league wide outcome in that scenario is a boring product.

    2017 Astros had 17th highest payroll and won WS 2024 Diamondbacks made it to WS with #20 payroll 2020 Rays made it to WS with #28 payroll
