And an extra start of Skubal

Bo Naylor, Codi Heuer to Crew for Perkins, Yoho
MrTPlush replied to etranger's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Trading for Naylor to be anything other than an emergency 3rd catcher is shameful. Be that 2026 or 2027. I can’t imagine we would be focused on our back up catcher for 2027 at this important of a deadline. Maybe Perkins/Yoho were on their way out by Monday and we just traded for Naylor just incase Quero is traded. I just can’t see us really concerning ourselves in July 2026 acquiring a garbage back-up catcher for next year. -
Bo Naylor, Codi Heuer to Crew for Perkins, Yoho
MrTPlush replied to etranger's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Surely we have enough lower value prospects of our own to trade that we don’t need to trade Sanchez to get prospects to flip. Sanchez’s bat isn’t to shabby. Idk if I’d want to trade him for Naylor’s black hole to be #2 or have Quero get sporadic ABs and probably be a black hole too. -

Yah, Naylor feels like a replacement of the #3 on the roster. No way he is taking Sanchez’s spot. Not today, not tomorrow. Quero has got to be a popular piece for us to move in any notable trade. -
Just make a Skubal forum at this point.

I think people overrate top prospects a bit and get a little too attached to the potential. There are a lot of total busts in the Top 5 all the time, even the #1 guy can flop (Profar) or greatly never get anywhere near perennial AS level. Or it may take them years to put it all together (Buxton). There are people that probably wouldn’t trade Made for anyone. I’d trade Made for a lot of players, probably dozens of them. Basically any player that is controllable through 2029 minimum and has a few years of production and an All Star level season.

Truly Outlandish, Non-Sensical Trade Suggestions
MrTPlush replied to Jake McKibbin's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Given, most of these prospects will probably fair better in our system than others, I don’t think this would look quite like you are thinking. (Assuming you are inferring we are going to see all the great players experts wanted us to trade for Skubal etc.) Statistically, most prospects fail and while top prospects might have higher floors, their failure to get anywhere near their potential is just as great. I mean look at Chourio, he has shown flashes, but he has yet to break out to be the star he is supposed to be and he very well may never. (Yes I do know he is just 22) Most of the guys we are pearl clutching are likely going to be a fraction of their potential. Lucky if one actually reaches their potential. We all pearl clutched a player in the Yelich trade, I don’t know if any of them had a positive career WAR. The most regretful guys we have traded over the years have been mostly lower minor league players. Of course, we don’t know if Made is going to flop, Lara is going to flop, if Fischer is going to be Barry Bonds, or if Harrison is going to end up an injury riddled mess. It will be interesting regardless to look at this time in retrospect years from now. Hopefully whatever decision we make ends up in a World Series trophy. Be that 2026 or 2030. -
Didn’t everyone complain when the site switched over no one liked the forced threads from articles? Given I rarely visit the site anymore, but looks like we don’t even get the ‘Article’ disclaimer in the title anymore. I miss the forum being a forum. *Hits close on Lysol ad for 12th time trying to write post*

It’s like the rest of my post just vanished, I can resend it for you if you’d like. What an obnoxious post dude, thanks for the laugh. You don’t even have to pay, just close the tab 🙂

That trade proposal reminds me of when Oakland shipped Addison Russel ++ for a duo of rental starters. (And traded Yoenis Cespedes for rental Jon Lester) They did so with a marginal lead in the division, but ended up failing to win 90 games despite 66-41 at the end of July, lost the division by double digits, and BARELY edged the Mariners for the last WC spot. In the end they lost the WC game and their three starters they sold the #1 farm system in baseball for: Jon Lester started and got lit up, Hammel gave up a hit and no outs managed, and Samardzija didn’t even pitch. I can confidently say I don’t support that deadline concept.

Surely rage bait for clicks
-
The price is almost never worth it, because as we can see after over 50 years as a franchise, we have no rings. Winning the World Series is a lot like winning the lottery, can’t win the lottery without gambling. I don’t know if there is a right or wrong answer in this dilemma of a trade deadline, to be honest. If 1/10 years biting the apple we gambled at a bigger bite, I think I respect that decision regardless of the outcome.
-
They would, probably one of the only reasons they are interested in trading for him. They would recoup a nice chunk on the back end (ideally).
-
Miz is a generational talent, at least pitching like one. Of course, how many years will we get of that level? 1, 2, 5? We have the deepest farm in baseball, you could trade for Skubal and still a top farm system. The combination of Miz and Skubal would likely make this team arguably the best chance to win a World Series in team history. Especially if a healthy Harrison is also still on the team. It also would increase our odds of getting the #1 seed exponentially too. Whine about the Dodgers spending money and then whine when they get Skubal when we clearly have the trade capital to do it? I mean, at that point stop pretending like you are trying to win. If we cry poor hoarding prospects then Attanasio needs to refuse to field another team until MLB evens the playing field if it is really that bad. And yah, the reality is we could trade for Skubal and it will likely not result in a World Series. Just like the litany of trades we have made before that resulted in no ring. But that’s sports and a change of attempt trying to win may be welcomed. It’s been almost a decade and we haven’t even made it to the WS. We can hoard all the prospects, but in 5 years when Miz is a more normal pitcher (or a crippled mess like DeGrom) and we suddenly do t have the pitching to win…well, what ifs will be made.
-
Every time I think about making a comment in rumors/transactions I just stop typing. It’s an unreadable mess at this point. I might as well make my comment a new thread.
-
Because the cost of him isn’t going to be that of a DH. It is going to be that of a Top 5/Top 10 SS in the game. Maybe his value is needed a bit that he may need to go to 3B…but even then, massive overpay for him to be shifted to DH.
-
Acquiring CJ Abrams to be DH would be a horrendous use of assets. Nor is Yelich be traded (he would likely block the trade), not going to the bench, and not being DFA’d to make that trade happen.
-
I’m guessing we exist on his no-trade list due to pitching depth. Does want to be an injury fill-in and then possibly pushed to a pitching role. Not great if you aspire to get a contract this offseason. If one can recall, that was an issue for Lucroy and Cleveland..,he didn’t want to split time at 1B etc. it isn’t a nothing burger because any agreement to a trade here could involve a handshake agreement he has to start regardless of performance etc.
-
It’s rare because one singular move/player minimally increases odds. Luck and timing are the biggest things you need…and you can’t trade for them. Making the postseason is always the biggest odds increaser. I always remember 2016 where the Cubs traded for Chapman and the Indians got Andrew Miller. Both moves helped send those team to the WS. Cubs won 103 games and didn’t ‘need’ Chapman. Chapman infamously almost choked away Game 7 though.
-
I don’t think I could get behind the price Miller would likely cost and I don’t see us desperate enough for an elite bullpen arm like that. The bullpen should be fine and hopefully gets a boost in the postseason via Logan Henderson and other starters. Skubal is the obvious answer if we are trying to make a splash. Miz/Skubal is a potential WS winning combo.
-
I’m definitely not anti-make a big splash. But I’m definitely trading prospects…and maybe a lesser young starter if need be.
-
Our World Series odds are like 9% right now. If we swap Henderson for Skubal, how much do you really think that goes up? To 12%? Our consistent success over the years is because we haven’t chased these type of marginal improvement. Now I could see us giving it a shot for once since we are getting a bit deep between MLB and MiLB…but I’m pretty sure it won’t come at the expense of a potential huge impact player like Henderson. It just doesn’t make a ton of sense to go big on a rental by giving up a big MLB piece. That’s just a terrible gamble. Reminds me when people thought we should trade Prince Fielder to get an ace pitcher. Addition by subtraction is just a bad route to take.
-
Trading a guy with a sub 3 FIP, sub 1.000 WHIP, a 11+ K/9 through his first 13 MLB starts for a rental is insanity. We traded an entire season of Freddy Peralta and Corbin Burnes before and got nowhere near a Logan Henderson back. Logan Henderson, as he sits now, arguably is more valuable than the entire trade packages of Peralta+Burnes combined (at the time of those trades).
-
Sal Frelick had 6 WAR over three years coming into 2026. 3 WAR in full-time ABs in 2025 with a mid .700s OPS. He definitely has value, especially to a middling team that has zero hope of competing next year and probably has an open OF spot. Though he is injured and it may be a legitimately concerning injury. So I don’t know that he is really tradable right now.
-
The main reason, because he is a two month rental. It isn’t like we get all of spring training and a few months of the season to ‘work on things’. You are essentially hoping to catch lightning in a bottle, which historically, this fan base almost always hates and complains about at the deadline. If the cost that of a backend starter, sure. If I have to pay a premium for a former act, no thanks. I wouldn’t get into a bidding war for him.
