And it overlooks that they went out to get those guys this offseason to block him. Its not like they were all already there creating a logjam you had to sort out. You willingly chose to get these guys this offseason to put in front of him because you didn't think he was good enough. Yea, after doing all that sure it then make sense to trade him because you've chosen to block him because you don't think he was good enough or that you were good enough to coach him up. That is different than a situation being described as 'they just had so much depth so no spot for him' like its being discussed. In general, Boston's management has made a ton of terrible moves since the last WS and so far this looks like another one. There's a reason their fans are starting chants to sell the team.

Yes that's fine, fair, and generally true. But that's not the same argument as "they already so much depth so he was expendable" which is all folks like me are saying. Three of those guys were not already in their depth to start the offseason. They were lacking so much depth they needed to acquire 3 players at high cost while not realizing they had a guy sitting right there for league min if they assessed properly or had confidence in their development of him. But yea, your points on big market, urgency, lower risk, etc are all true as to why they would take such a route with vets instead of banking on him. In addition, there is a legit chance if he was in Bos he would not be performing anywhere near the level he has for MKE due to how well they do with coaching and development here. So in a way that also make Boston correct as there is a very legit chance he'd have kept floundering there. But that's kind of what we're getting at, its because of poor assessment or coaching they made this mistake moreso than that they already such great depth. I work with a Boson sports obsessed guy, and all year its basically been complaining about how awful their pitching outside of Crochet. Which have to take with a grain of salt because in spite of winning like 25 titles the last 30ish years they never stop being negative/pessimists. But of course then remind him how they gave us Priester/Harrison.

I'm being serious. The point was "they had so much depth so he was expendable". Well, if they had so much depth then why did they need to trade for two and sign a starter if they had soooo much depth is a serious and logical response. They literally had to fill 3 rotation spots this offseason, thus not really a ton of depth already there. One of them spots could've been filled by this guy at league min. So after that, yea it comes down to them being very wrong in their assessment and ability to develop him.
-
And sign Saurez for a bunch of money rather than keep this guy for league min.

What would it cost now to extend Miz?
tmwiese55 replied to TwinsBrewersWorldSeries's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
My guess is the gap between both sides is too much, however you have to have the discussion with the agent. And as much as we all think 'how can he not get hurt' he and his team have to factor that risk in as well so they will listen. I also wouldn't want all the later years to be team options or I probably wouldn't do it either, which might be dealbreaker from Miz's side. One thing you could have on our side is to ask Woody to chirp in his year that it's not the worst thing to lock up 100 mil when you can. But OTOH, we paid him solidly even while injured so maybe not the best example, like what happened to Jimmy Nelson. Can also point to Burnes who got lucky that he got hurt like 4 starts after getting paid, if that happened before that would've cost him a ton of money. -
Agree with Buxton as a target. But yes, the elite prospects like Fischer should not be included. With the strength of the Brewers farm they should be able to get it done without people at his level or better. If not, so be it
-
Also, reminder Montas started game 2 of the playoffs. Yes, he didn't do great in it or anything but it speaks to the fact that it was a need thus it 'making sense'. Also, they did win the game.
-
And that is with Busch and PCA generally being bad so far this year. Some of the other regulars are a notch above what you'd expect but nothing extremely fluky since they're all generally good hitters. Cubs are gonna be there all year. But their pitching has been destroyed by injuries, really not sure how their pitching can hold up all year without some good trades. And of course, I have no real idea on if they have unknown AAA guys with promise like we do every year
-
Generally agree with your overall point on that its clear the long term plan on the left side of the IF. However, if they plan on competing this year I'd say there is still a need or possibility to add at least one person who can fill in at 3b/ss to finish the year at a competent/mediocre level. That's clear top need imo. I don't see them breaking the bank or anything but a cheap pick up to get basic competency to finish the year. Something like the equivalent of Canha/Santana pickups from a couple years ago, but who can play one of 3b/ss. Off the top of my head I don't know who that could be
-
Houston with only one year left seems like a long shot and as said with Houston's history I'll be surprised if they punt on the season anytime soon. Similar level player who makes more sense would be Abrams in WAS. They've been a fun team so far and the O is doing well but there's no way they can hang in the standing long term. Has two years left after this so would be more worth legit prospects. I'm not sure how his D is checking out at SS but could easily shift to 3B next year or whenever Pratt is ready. Then of course look to trade him when has one year left.

Pirates (Skenes) vs Brewers (Woodruff): 4/24/26, 6:40pm
tmwiese55 replied to Brandon Glick's topic in Archived Game Threads
My best guess on that and others was that it was based on who they plan on PHing for when a lefty comes in later in the game and who they don't. My guess is Black is one they plan on the PH -
Brewers (Sproat) vs Tigers (Skubal): 4/23/26, 12:10pm
tmwiese55 replied to Frisbee Slider's topic in Archived Game Threads
Wow that was a terrible decision to swing there. Can't have that out of one of your best -
I mean, wouldn't keeping guys like Bauers/Sanchez/Vaughn around a bit of being prepared for it? As much as a team with their budget can anyway. Just saying they kept one-two guys extra in this general roster space where I'd assume a team with their philosophy would much prefer position flexible people.
-
If you say so, its spikes up to me. The foot that he spikes him with is held above the base in the air the whole time. The cut on the pants is basically at the knee. In addition he does slide past the bag, you know, because he started his slide way late in order to spike the guy and because his foot was in the air to spike the guy rather than hit the bag with the foot
-
The three guys on MLB network had some comically bad takes on the incident. All saying how that was a good slide as if its still 1985. In today's baseball that is clearly wrong. They even went as far as to blame Hamilton for not getting out of the way since he should've known Contreras is crazy. I guess for the most part though, they did acknowledge a guy standing on top of the plate diving over the plate with his hands should know they're going to get hit a lot. I mean, the guy where's elbow pads and hand pads for a reason

Chourio to IL with left hand fracture, Perkins recalled
tmwiese55 replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I wouldn't say the playing WBC that is the problem, as pointed out by so many, but rather how it was missed and he kept playing on it after it happened? -
In addition, keep in mind another 7ish years of inflation on those type of deals. I guess that should apply in general to this whole deal with it being so long, the numbers we are all accustomed to now will all be up 15-25% in another 7-10 years.
-
Right, and the team gets the perk of 'controlling' them for an extra 2-3 years. Especially if the last year or two are team options and save a bunch of money vs the market in those last few years if the guy does pop. It kind of seems like a win-win making sense for both sides.
-
I've thought about it and chalked it up to working out finer details, and possibly about the timing of when to execute it in terms of roster manipulation type stuff based on when it's 'official'. So I assumed its nbd, but who knows maybe someone more in tune with the logistical finer details will chime in
-
Hadn't thought about it but yes now that you say it they lack a classic RH hard thrower after the two closers. If one of them goes on the DL for a while that could be a problem. Kind of surprising for MKE to be short on this type of player. Who'd be the likely AAA guy to come up with that role? The SPs names don't really qualify, Yoho is a softer thrower. Maybe they get Bukauskus fixed? Either way, won't be surprised if someone like this (who has options) is targeted in a trade soon
-
I caught the end of it, but I thought on TV they said he was a reverse splits guy? I could've easily misheard it
-
I know its early, small sample, etc so its not like I'm freaking out or anything. And I know Murphy has made a public bet on Hamilton being this breakout guy, but so far I'd rather be giving Rengifo these ABs and hoping he bounces back. that said, Hamilton has looekd good on D and I just checked and the splits have Rengifo better as a RHH, so I'm sure they're going to let this go for a while yet. But Hamilton is giving some Dunn/Sigler type vibes to me where we're hoping them to be more than they are capable of
-
I would wager all my money they have tried and had discussions in the past They've worked out several of these early signings over the last few years. Chances are they've also had several they couldn't come to an agreement on. I think the window of making a deal was before last season, that window is likely now shut, especially after what Hoerner got.
-
It was just a joke article, nbd. But if we're having a serious discussion on it, I think the point would be that he is no where near the 76th best ump yet he's keeping his job due to the union structure. Chances are almost all minor leaguers would do better than him and Angel at this point. And note, I'm generally someone who's on the 'refs get way too much grief' side of things having done my share of reffing when I was younger. Seeing what HS and even youth refs deal with is ridiculous these days
-
My basic thing watching from afar for Mitchell to improve on is being more aggressive and actually swinging. Seems there's way too much trying to milk walks which puts him in bad spots, leading to Ks and even the Ks are very often going down looking. Just seems to be way too much watching strikes go by and going down looking, idk if any advanced data supports it. Swing the bat.
