As a mostly daily lurker it is wild to see that we have reached a point where Houser NOT being on this team has thrown us all into a tizzy. I really have yet to see the Joe Ross signing acknowledged anywhere in this thread. I know it's not needle-pushing, but he is going to be in the rotation and I think is being forgotten about a lot already. The trade is meh - Brewers clearly value Perkins > Taylor. There isn't enough room for them all. I would have preferred Houser as depth for this year but '24 was likely to be the last of him in a Brewers jersey regardless. Return does feel light though. But per usual, we are reactionary and quick to just yell that the team is cheap. It's December.

Joe Ross probably ends up being the direct Houser replacement here.

Yeah definitely don't disagree, just spit-balling ideas on how to use Ross/Wilson. I don't necessarily think because Wilson failed as a starter elsewhere correlates to him 100% failing as a starter in Milwaukee. But I do agree it probably isn't worth it to find out or ruin a now good thing. No qualms here about more guys who can go more innings. Good insurance on the backend of the rotation.

Unlikely, but maybe Milwaukee will transition Bryse Wilson into a starter role and Ross will take his swing spot? Wilson only went 3+ innings five times in '23, but I was surprised to see he only allowed one total run over those five games. Of course it's a ridiculously small sample size, but never know since he made 41 starts between 21-22.

Brewers just got a new face to the franchise. You give value to get value. Yelich is still young and if things don't go as planned, be flipped in two years. Harrison has superstar potential, but he has equal bust potential. Diaz/Hiura couldn't necessarily exist together and Diaz coming off of a down year. We also didn't mortgage any of the future pitching wise. Brinson will likely be a future all star, but he had some injury concern and you got a sure thing for him. Short-term, this has to make every Brewers fan very excited. Domingo might wanna keep his phone close by these next few days though...
