I think keeping Weimer on the roster through the the start of August made sense. He was showing progress at the plate in June but then regressed at which point he should've been sent down in Aug. He's a great defender and excels around the bases. His only problem is getting on base, which makes him a great late inning option and I can see why CC doesn't want to give that up by sending him to Nashville. And when your in a tight race for the division the team comes 1st and player development gets pushed to the side and I realize that idea can't work long term but injuries changes things

I really think the writing is on the wall. Just the fact that Counsell hasn’t signed a contract extension with under 2 months left in the regular season is the biggest indicator as he’s an absolute shoe in for a contract extension. I’d say the rumors about about his kids being at an age were seeing them play games and having a bigger influence in their maturing into adults. Just because his family lives in MKE doesn’t mean he actually gets to see them. Even when they’re playing at home he still doesn’t get home until at least midnight. I don’t see him going to NY with Stearns as he’d only have less time with the family. That said, I hope he changes his mind and signs an extension in MKE, I hate the idea of seeing anyone else in the dugout for the Brewers.

I’m not sure about the Cardinals and it’s not their talent, I think Oliver Marmol has that clubhouse on edge and if there’s trouble in the clubhouse it will show up on the field. I guess time will tell if he’s a good fit with the Card’s

I don’t see Burnes going anywhere before 2023 mid-season. It gives the Brewers a chance to feel out their competitiveness and ability to compete for the post season and I also think you get more for players in trades when other teams have the need in that moment versus the off-season when there’s no wins and losses on the board. the other questions is really for Brewers management and that is do they think they can compete for a World Series in the next 2 seasons and if not then they need to make a deal
