Right ... it was a prospective deal proposed by an SI writer.
-
So now we've gone from "way better glove at 34" to "slightly better"? Things that make you go hmmmmm ... and wouldn't Mark Vientos at a -10 DRS in a similar amount of innings to Rengifo then qualify as the "worst 3B in the majors" by your metric? -
Terrible overpay. Bohm has little trade value as basically a rental.
-
Did you look at literally anything stat-related before making this dubious and flat-out incorrect claim? Suarez was once a solid 3B, but is now one of the worst defensive 3B in the majors.

Bold Predictions for 2026
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to jay87shot's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
- Both Chourio and Yelich hit 30+ HRs this year. - Jett Williams comes up in April and solidifies himself as a spark plug at the top of the order. - Garrett Mitchell stays healthy and has a "Comeback Player of the Year"-type season. - Andrew Vaughn's streakiness will be frustrating. - Brandon Woodruff emerges as the team's ace, setting himself up for a big payday next year. -
It did cross my mind that the players union itself may object to the idea of piggybacking. Considering arbitration raises, not to mention free agency contracts, still largely depend on old school counting stats like wins, Ks, innings pitched and so on, it would stand to reason that pitchers in a piggyback rotation are simply not going to accumulate those stats at the same rate a pitcher participating in a traditional rotation would. Not that the Brewers dip into the starting pitching free agent market often, but it wouldn't surprise me if a starter they were after had concerns knowing that he wasn't going to get the opportunity to go 5+ innings every five-six days.
-
That's a great problem to have. My hope is that they are never in the situation this season of having to sign a scrap-heap guy like Fedde and immediately throw him to the wolves.
-
Not sure that will work with pitchers required to stay down for 15 days.
-
2024 ... 2025 ... 2026. Rinse and repeat. The Cubs spend big money. Rankings algorithms like teams that spend big. But when push comes to shove, what happens on the field is more important. The Brewers have been better than the Cubs the last two seasons, and there is no reason to expect that trend not to continue in 2026, despite what the rankings services, experts, and pessimists right here on this forum say.

Your exact words were "close to developing into a TOR starter". I don't think anyone would look at Priester's results as a 24-year-old last season and not think that he would be on a TOR trajectory. See, I read carefully.
-
I don't think you will ever see it happen. Teams like having bullpen depth too much. That's why piggybacking rotations has always been just the theoretical concept.
-
With how this team values defense, you are probably right. But at the same time, when most think the Brewers are going to zig, they zag. I wonder if the "Frelick to 3B" experiment continues over the next several weeks?
-
Undoubtedly. It makes me want to follow the Big League Spring Training numbers of Brock Wilken, Cooper Pratt and Luke Adams (not to mention Jesus Made) a little closer as well.
-
The biggest bummer is that we'll never see Caleb Durbin and Jett Williams as teammates. That pairing sounded like it would have been a lot of fun.
-
He was the regular 3B in Nashville in 2023. Battled injury in both 2024 and 2025. At this point, his only path to Big League time may hedge on the ability to play 3B.
-
Tyler Black. Brandon Lockridge has played some infield in the past. Eddys Leonard is a non-roster invite. Black has a pretty tremendous opportunity in front of him.
-
Well, considering the Red Sox traded their super-duperstar for that "literally pure garbage" just seven months ago, that should tell you all you need to know.
-
Suarez is the opposite of how the front office constructs rosters. He undoubtedly brings power, but tons of swing-and-miss, a low average, and bad defense (which at his age is only going to get worse). If Doug Melvin were still this team's GM, he's be exactly the type of player they'd be looking for. But that ship sailed a LONG time ago.
-
For a guy who was arguably considered the top LHP prospect in the game a year ago at this time.
-
I'd be extremely surprised if they acquire the big, burly power-hitting prototypical 3B type. Just isn't the way this team operates.
-
12 of the Brewers current Top 30 prospects are 3B-capable players. Only 3 are left handed pitchers. When you look at it in that context, it makes a lot of sense.

December 1, 2021 Milwaukee Brewers traded CF Jackie Bradley Jr., SS David Hamilton and 3B Alex Binelas to Boston Red Sox for RF Hunter Renfroe. Welcome back Mr. Hamilton. I think, given the current makeup of the team, I would have preferred Binelas.
-
Harrison is the headliner here. 24-year-old lefty with a Top 100 pedigree and mid 90s, top-of-the-rotation type stuff and years of control. I'm surprised the Red Sox gave up on him as soon as they did. But the Red Sox did give us Priester last year, so I don't have a ton of confidence in how they evaluate pitching talent.
-
Makes sense. Harrison is a former Top 100 guy and was the main get in the Giants deal for Rafael Devers. Still only 24 years old. He's a pretty major get.
