At this point I see no reason why we shouldn't be selling off all of our expensive short term assets. That means Burnes has to go and Devin should also be available for the right package. We clearly aren't winning a World Series with this group so just sell everything and if we are so lucky Attanasio can cash in and sell the team for a huge profit.
-
He most definitely is cheap and has gotten increasingly so the last few years. After the Yelich contract we haven't given any sort of big or even medium sized long term contracts to anyone. Just look at this first base situation as a great example of being ultra cheap. We traded for a cheap first baseman in Bauers that can't hit which will more than likely even take us out of the running for a guy like Santana who won't exactly break the bank. Nobody wants to hear this and a few will lob insults my way but I expect the 24 payroll to be at least 20 million less than the one we ended last season with. Attanasio has taken this franchise as far as he can financially. He was certainly an upgrade over the latter years of the Selig ownership but he just doesn't have the money to have us even competitive financially.

I’d rather this sport gets a salary cap so we can compete.
-
At this point might as well have the payroll as low as possible since this team is starting a rebuild. Definitely trade Burnes and Devin and even Freddy if the right deal presents itself.
-
Just a stupid decision and a big indication that we are cutting payroll big time.

Brewers acquire Jake Bauers from NYY

Why does this team seem obsessed with filling first base with scrub after scrub. -

Brewers really appear to be tanking. Hopefully there is a QB worth tanking for, oh nevermind wrong sport. -
Update: Brandon Woodruff is non-tendered.

If Woodruff is non tendered a big money team like the Dodgers or Mets will bank on his upside and sign him for far more than we would be willing to give. -

We have a top of the rotation pitcher who actually wants to be here. Yes its taking a chance but I'm betting on Woodruff to come back strong. I will be extremely disappointed if he is non tendered or traded for 20 cents on the dollar. I think we should find a way to keep him long term as the anchor of the staff. Burnes should be traded as he just doesn't want to be here but Woodruff is a great guy who wants to be a career Brewers player. It may mean nothing to most but I enjoy rooting for guys who want to be here. I expect them to non tender him or trade him for AAAA fodder. Big mistake in my opinion but this ownership just doesn't want to spend. The best thing for the fans of this team would be for Mark A to just sell to someone with deeper pockets but thats probably not going to happen. -
Just the same way I wouldn't trust Rob Deer to be a hitting coach is how I feel about Weeks stressing defensive fundamentals when he never got it himself.
-
With the way that Counsell left his hometown team for a rival the last thing I wanted to do was give the job to his sidekick. A clean break from anything Counsell is the direction I would have gone but I won't get all that worked up over who the manager is when this team is taking a step back for the next few years anyway.
-
Avoiding Mattingly and Shildt is a victory of sorts so thats something.
-
I question how much anyone cares about fundamentals when they never improved their defense which was awful from day one till he retired. On the other hand his OBP was always good for a guy with a low average and thats a positive so we'll see.
-
He had a great eye at the plate which is a great fundamental to have but his poor defense makes me question the rest of his fundamental knowledge.
-
I look at this hiring as a sign that we are going to rebuild and just wanted to go cheap because this is nothing more than a stopgap hiring. What bothers me is that I don't really think Weeks is the guy for the future and I would guess he is pretty much the manager in waiting.
-
This looks like some lazy reporting with India not being the Brewers type of player and the team almost certainly being unwilling to deal the pitching that Cincy will want.
-
He’s absolutely terrible,
-
If this team hires Mattingly it will be due to Attanasio meddling so he could bring in a guy that he enjoyed watching as a player since he grew up a yankees fan. Out of all the names listed so far he is far and away the one that I want to avoid at all costs.
-
From the little I've seen of Baty he appears to be a butcher defensively which is why I think Stearns will move in but also why we will have no interest. As for Alonso no thanks to a one year guy in any Burnes trade.
-
Now that Counsell has moved on from us we should move on from anything to do with him which means saying no to Murphy. Its time for some fresh blood and a voice from outside the organization preferably a young guy analytically aware so that means avoiding someone like Mattingly as well.
-
Why should this team want any continuity with anyone that has anything to do with this offense.
-
That is so over the top ridiculous but thats the type of hyperbole you get from big market teams and why Counsell will forever get booed by his former hometowns fans.
-
You've unfairly taken a lot of heat for taking an unconventional position but I agree that there is a lot more going on here other than the convenient Counsell just went to the highest bidder which is definitely a factor but not the whole story.
-
I can understand extending Hook but why would this team force these hitting coaches on anyone.
-
I expect the Dodgers to pay whatever it takes especially with their extreme need for pitching. Either that or overpay in a trade for Burnes which is what I am hoping for.
