You’re probably right. I’m sure he would want assurances that he would be starting before even considering signing with the Brewers.

Disclaimer - I have always been a fan of David Dahl. That being said, he seems like he would be a nice fit with our current roster. I know he struggled last season, but the season before he was an All-Star. At minimum, I think he would be a significant upgrade over Gamel in the 4th OF spot. He would be a good complement to Cain and Garcia as a LH bat. Defensively he can play any OF position, and could step in as a potential quality starter in case of injury or if Cain or Garcia struggle to get it going offensively this season. I know his home and away splits weren’t great in Colorado, but I think his bat would still play well at Miller Park. One thing I’m unsure of is how much he would command on a free agent contract. Maybe someone else would have a better idea on that. Thoughts?

I agree that you don't part with Hiura, but you lose me on having to separate them. Just based on sheer probability, if they were batting next to each other in the order all season long, they would hit back-to-back homeruns approximately 3 times.

Something tells me the Twins were the only team willing to go 4+ years. Otherwise, based on everything I’ve read, I really believe he’d be with the Braves or Nationals right now. To me, the bottom line is nobody else felt he was worth what the Twins gave him.

You could choose to look at it another way: The Braves, Nationals, Rangers, Dodgers, etc. all thought he wasn’t worth that much money. I’m willing to wager he didn’t sign with the Twins because they were the team he wanted to play for. He signed with them because they gave him the most money. Not sure why the Brewers should have valued him as much or more than the Twins did.

I agree. I don't want him to be our everyday third baseman. I very much prefer him as a reserve player, but a couple starts a week would be just fine (filling in at 3B, 2B, and SS). I would much rather we go after a higher upside third baseman. I would love to get Donaldson (pipe dream), but someone like Kyle Seager would probably be more realistic.

If Sogard starts two games a week, that is 2 games too many... I'm not a Sogard fan either, but this comment is just hating on someone to hate on someone. Championship teams still have role players like Sogard, and if he produce like he did last year, it makes this comment look even worse.

Few things: 24 years and $528mil for Donaldson is way too much Brown has not even appeared in the majors yet, let alone drawn a big salary to get rid of next year. I don't know what celery has to do with resigning Yelich This made me laugh. All good stuff.

How about just giving Dubon a chance?

The article states that the Indians asked about Senzel and Trammell, not that the Reds were willing to offer both of them. I think if they were willing part with both, the trade would already be done.

So, Hader wasn't available after a day of rest following 2 days of work, but Jennings was available for the 3rd straight day and 4th in the last 5 days? I'm not pretending to know why he wouldn't be available. Just saying it makes zero sense not to use him, so he must not have been available.

I refuse to believe that CC wouldn't have used Hader if he was available. It would defy all logic. If this is proven otherwise, then by all means, crucify CC.

The bat remained in a bunting position when the ball hit it, so strike 3. You can argue intent all you want, but that's a slippery slope. The umpire should not be guessing as to whether he still intended to bunt it. He should simply use his eyes to observe that the bat still remained in a bunting position.

Let's at least give Schoop credit though. He fooled everyone as a "useless" player when he finished 12th in the AL MVP voting last year.
