Is Made on the 40 man? The 40 man is to protect rule 5 draft players not an indication of how the brewers rank the player. Not saying Wilkins is the heir apparent. The reality is the Brewers prioritize optional.

Not for this episode. But potentially as a look towards the future. As it appears we are beginning to see the team stack waves of minor players. Milwaukee may be in position to start trading major players with 2+ years left in the near future to increase the minor league talent pool as replacement talent comes up. 1) which minor players that are rule 5 eligible next year do you expect to be trade bait, 2) what is the ideal 2027/2028 team look today, 3) which of major league players become the best to trade early? Ex. turang value in the trade market compare to options we have to replace him.

Doesn't it feel like this trade maintains the competitive window while opening up additional possibilities. One, if Cortes continues to pitch as he has over the last few seasons, Milwaukee should get an additional comp pick. Two, Black is now a realistic trade chip. Good to have extend options.
