Hopefully Henderson, Drohan and Sproat can go six...... 😳 1st Time Through Henderson Drohan Gasser Patrick/Sproat (Sproat to AAA for a RO who will go when McCullers is activated from the DL) Miz 2nd Time Through Harrison (Recent call up to AAA) Henderson Drohan Gasser Patrick/McCullers 3rd Time Through Miz Harrison Henderson Drohan Gasser

The Brewers don't need another left handed relief pitcher. Maybe Jose Soriano for Jefferson Quero, Jett Williams and Carlos Rodriguez (who has zero trade value).

Casey Mize, Jose Soriano and Kyle Bradish are worth a look with cheap contracts and arbitration years ahead. Possible Trade- Jett Williams, Tyson Hardin and Brock Wilken Reid Detmers, Robbie Ray and Kevin Gausman would cost more money but would cost less prospect capital in return. Possible Trade- Coleman Crow and Josh Adamczewski Michael Wacha would cost less in prospects but his future years are a gamble. Possible Trade- Braelon Payne and JD Thompson 1. Casey Mize- 2.70 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and $6.15 million and free agent in 2027 2. Jose Soriano- 3.49 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and $2.9 million and arbitration eligible 3. Kyle Bradish- 3.61 ERA, 1.35 WHIP- $3.55 and arbitration eligible for 2027 4. Reid Detmers- 4.39 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 2.7 million and free agent in 2027. 5. Michael Wacha- 3.77 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and $18 million in 2027 6. Robbie Ray- 3.38 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and $25 million free agent 7. Kevin Gausman- 4.33 WRA, 1.35 WHIP and $22 million free agent in 2027

Jo Adell and Reid Detmers for Sal Frelick, Jett Williams, one of of: Shane Drohan, Robert Gasser, and Brandon Sproat and one of Coleman Crow, Easton McGee, Bishop Letson and Craig Yoho. Rotation: 1.)

I know we have a ways to go this spring but the Sounds potentially have a ton of talent. There are more players than open positions. Zamora, Leonard, McGee and Rodriguez could all be traded with Wichrowski, Hunt, Kuehner, Manfredi, Fitzpatrick, Fisher, Made, Leston and Hardin waiting for their 2026 AAA opportunity.

Joey Ortiz hits .250 with 12 HR's and plays awesome defense.

I am probably way off on some salaries. I looked at WAR and what players around them signed for. 1. Lucas Giolitto- Probably can't afford him. Two years, 20 million with incentive for innings pitched? 2.. Griffin Canning- There is some upside. 1 Year, 2 million (similar to Blackburn) with incentives for games started. 3. Walker Buehler- Greatest risk/reward 1 Year, 2 million with incentives for innings pitched. 4. Justin Verlander- Probably can't afford him 1 year, 12 million 5. Jose Quintana- Does he want to come back? 1 year, 6 million with incentives for games started. 6. Tyler Anderson- Is he washed up? 1 year, 5 million if he makes the roster.

Take Freddy's five innings every five or six days and reevaluate at the deadline. If you are near the top of the division just take the comp pick. Freddy- Reliable Woodruff- Health is a question Priester- Reliable Misorowski- Somewhat unreliable Ashby- Question mark Henderson- Health is a question Gasser- Health is a question Patrick- #5 starter Meyers- #5 starter Zerpa- This years Priester? Hall- Questionable for the rotation Rodriguez- Huge question mark There are some intriguing arms! In Pat we trust.

Realistically........ 1. Peralta 2. Misorowski (Could be a #1?) 3. Preister (solid #3) 4. Woodruff (#1 if healthy, limited innings?) 5. Ashby (more useful as a bullpen piece?) 6. Patrick 7. Henderson (healthy?) 8. Montgomery Gasser (healthy?) Meyers I'd rather see Patrick, Gasser and Meyers. Montgomery would have to be one year and an incentive loaded contract.

Game 1- Priester Game 2- Peralta Game 3- Koenig followed by Mis Game 4- Quintana

If MLB wants to even the playing field, overseas players should have to enter MLB through the draft instead of through the wealthy team bidding war.

How does Milwaukee line up against the Dodgers? C- Contreras > Smith 1B- Freeman > Vaughn 2B- Turang > Edman 3B- Durbin = Hernandez SS-:Betts > Ortiz LF- Chourio > Call CF- Pages > Perkins RF- Hernandez > Frelick DH- Ohtani > Yelich Yelich to LF, Chourio to CF, DH Hoskins or Bauer's? That would give LF and CF to Milwaukee. SP- Yamamoto, Ohtani, Snell, Glasnow > Peralta, Priester, Misorowski, Quintana Hopefully Quintana can make a quality start when called on. Pen- Ashby, Megill, Koenig, Uribe, Patrick, Mears > Kershaw, Vesia, Trenien, Sasaki, Sheehan< Wrobleski This might be where the Brewers have the biggest advantage. Murphy > Roberts Hands down, Murphy is a better manager and decision maker. Hopefully that is the difference maker. Dodgers 6, Brewers 5
