    Its a sellers market. Burnes would have been the class of the crop outside of Ohtani (whos not being traded). Haul would have been insane. So good, I bet the Brewers would have been back in contention in 2025.

    I would love to see the Brewers pick up someone like Alex Verdugo. However, my bet is that its someone like Tim Anderson.
  3. wildcat2237
    Thats what happens when one of two team go "all-in." And boy the Angels are going to stink in a few years when Ohtani is gone for nothing but a QO., The whole thing is incredibly disappointing to me. I dont see the Brewers as having a shot to make the World Series much less win it. If we had decided to trade it would have been a lot of fun to see what we could have gotten for Burnes, Williams, Caratini etc. If you're not going to "go for it" with Woodruff, Burnes, and Williams on the roster, then for gosh sakes, start the quick re-load now.

    You're right on. Almost everyone thinks they have a chance. The cubs are the prime example this year.

    The market has been described by a few, including Arnold, as being "slow developing." Tomorrow morning might be crazy. However, I think there are fewer sellers this year than most, and I think the deadline goes with a wimper. I expect the Brewers to make one more deal. But I expect it to be something minor. (i.e a crummy vet releiver or middle infielder.). In my opinion the "bite of the apple" approach means the half-arse approach. Arnold is going to "tweak" the team but not really make any major upgrades.

    Jones., Winker, and Perkins can be dfa'd any day.

    I find this Hiura stuff to be really funny. Here is the readers digest version of the situation: In March 2023 Hiura did not make the team. In March 2023 the Brewers decided Hiura was no longer part of the teams future plan moving forward and they put him on waivers. Not one other team wanted him. Hiura was then sent to AAA as minor league filler to help the Sounds. He is essentially now a AAAA player. Its a bummer but its facts. Hiura proved over a large MLB sample size: 1. He plays terrible defense. 2. He whiffs at an alarming rate. 3. He hits a few HR's, but not enough to overcome the whiffs.

    10 year journeyman reliever with a 3.41 carreer ERA. He was signed last winter coming off tommy john. Only question is whether his best years are behind him? Could be really good, or could be DFA'd by Sept 1. He's only getting paid $850k this year. Brewers have a team option for 2024 with a $150k buyout. So $1 million guaranteed.

    There is your deadline bullpen acquistion. Better than picking up a bum like Daniel Norris or Matt Bush. Would think JC Mejia will be on his way out shortly.
  10. wildcat2237
    Should have been dfa'd 2 months ago.
  11. wildcat2237
    The Brewers shopping list is very simple: 1. DH 2. 1B. The Brewers production at these two positions have been so bad it wouldnt take much to upgrade. I guess if a slugging 3b or OF'er becomes availible on the cheap then I would also be fine DFA'ing Brian Anderson or Tyrone Taylor.
  12. wildcat2237
    Cruz has had a nice career. However, at this point I think he really is out of gas.
  13. wildcat2237
    If the Ddogers would really take him and his salary I would be THRILLED if the Brewers could get out from under that contract. That said, yeah, Yelich is probably untradeable unless the Brewers throw in money or take back another albatross deal.
  14. wildcat2237
    My fingers are crossed its some type of outside move/trade. However, more likely its Taylor or Urias.
  15. wildcat2237
    Maybe Pannone wanted to go to Korea and asked to be released. Brewers may have said, sure, but we want to get one appearance out of you first.
  16. wildcat2237
    Yep. He cashed in with a kbo team. Didn't understand bringing him up for one day only to release him.
  17. wildcat2237
    It's just a shame we gave Tapia like 2 million for a months work.
  18. wildcat2237
    We can dfa Tapia any day now.
  19. wildcat2237
    It's really pathetic. Out of the 8 position players: 1. 4 could be DFA'd tomorrow. (Anderson, Winker, Adames, Tapia). 2. 2 could be sent to AAA tomorrow. (Weimer, Turang). Thats not even getting into Miller looking horrid at 1b. W00f.
  20. wildcat2237
    Yep. Guaranteed 6 IP with 2 runs or less.
  21. wildcat2237
    Sadly, I agree that this has become a directionless franchise. For a small market team that is scary. The culprit is the "bite of the apple" approach. Not rebuilding properly and not buying to win big. I hope to god I am wrong and the sell off of Burnes, Woodruff, Williams begins this summer. If the Brewers would trade those three guys they would instantly, 1. Fix the payroll problem, 2. Rebuild the minor league system. May not be the top rated farm but it would be top 3.

    This feels like 2022 on repeat. Time to sell sell sell....
  23. wildcat2237
    I just noticed that Reese Olson made his MLB debut for the Tigers the other day. 5 IP, 2H, 6 SO. Looked filthy and took a no-no into the 6th. That trade for Daniel Norris might come back to be a real big stinker. Hope I'm wrong but at worst Olson looks like a good late inning reliever and at best a mid-rotation starter.
  24. wildcat2237
    As folks have said above, hell no! Freddy is 27 and the Brewers have him until 30. He's not getting any younger, his number are down, and he's been injured. I would not even remotely consider an extension.
  25. wildcat2237
    Only the stupid Cardinals would schedule a night game on get-away day.
