    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.

    But don’t you think the Cleveland Browns or Jacksonville Jaguars deserve to regularly appear in the Super Bowl?

    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.

    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

    Competitive balance is not universally desirable or desired. I consider competitive balance’ to mean 30 similarly mediocre teams with a few random outliers.

    Eventually the Dodgers run out of roster spots and can no longer sign more players? 🤷‍♂️

    Everyone should agree Milwaukee having a higher payroll would be nice. It is suspect to want the Brewers to commit a quarter billion or half billion dollars to brand name free agents. That’s just poor decision making in many cases. I would rather root against MLB teams that spend too much money unwisely than watch a product that is mediocre by design like the NFL. I loved rooting against Dallas and San Francisco in the early 90’s but those teams don’t exist in the NFL anymore since 1994 salary cap.

    The very highest spending teams don’t appear in the World Series as often as we think. It is not uncommon for teams outside of top ten in payroll to make it to World Series. I think the Brewers have been objectively more entertaining and competitive than the Packers over the same time period. (For alternative salary structure comparison)
  11. Frisbee Slider
    When the Packers sign roster depth players with upside do we hammer them? Have the Brewers, in aggregate, been more competitive than the Packers over the past decade?

    I feel like Milwaukee has had more than three first round pitchers who did not pan out 🙂 I really liked Medeiros when he was drafted

    I’m glad we don’t have to listen to predictions of how good the Cardinals are expected to be and how Jordan Walker is closer than ever to breaking out.

    The Brewers didn’t get much worse and a lot of the Cubs improvement relies on Kyle Tucker. It is conceivable the Brewers get more output or WAR from nearly all offensive positions in 2025 compared to 2024. Advantage: Brewers
  15. Frisbee Slider
    Not that this provides much comfort but if given the choice between the Dodgers or ‘the field’ I would take the field in terms of most likely World Series champion in 2025.

    On a lighter, happier note, do you have a favorite Bob Uecker commercial ad read? “You’ve got a lot more going for you with Hank… Hardware hank”“

    Still only 32 years old, pitching in China

    Our 2002 pitching staff was, in aggregate, below replacement level. -0.3 WAR The position players combined for 8.3 WAR., nearly all Sexson and Hernandez. If a replacement level team is expected to win approximately 48 games in a season then the 2002 Brewers performed perfectly by winning 56 games.
  19. Frisbee Slider
    Whew, kept Payamps under $3M.

    Drew Rasmussen gets two year extension with Rays. When healthy, he has been very good. Rasmussen: 6.7 WAR with TB Feyereisen: 2 WAR with TB (currently free agent after poor 2024 and injuries in 2023) Adames: 14 WAR with MIL (plus a comp pick)
  21. Frisbee Slider
    If healthy-ish, the Yelich contract is certainly at or near market value. Maybe even below market value now.
  22. Frisbee Slider
    Maybe it’s because he wasn’t a desirable teammate, too?
  23. Frisbee Slider
    Merge? @Brock Beauchamp

    Would we want to re-up for one more year of Wade Miley? https://www.si.com/mlb/brewers/news-feed/ex-brewers-8-5-million-starter-eyeing-return-to-milwaukee-pat3
