  1. I would love more power, but where would you put it? 3B I guess, but there isn't much out there who would be an upgrade from what we have. Jung maybe?
  2. The Brewers also got a very good late-inning reliever in Romero.
  3. Don't kill the messenger, but Rojas, the prospect the Cubs just dealt for Holmes, is pretty universally thought of as a better prospect than either of the two OFers the Brewers gave up.
  4. The return reeks of desperation on the Brewers' part. I have no doubt that they had offers on the table for Skubal, and probably a handful of the other starters and relievers who have already been dealt today, but as those guys got picked off, they were left having to deal with a division rival who gouged them. Live and learn. I personally would have preferred Holmes, but the Cubs just traded a Top 100 guy for him, so its obvious that Stearns had a high price on him.
  5. Also should be noted that Sawyer Strosnider and Kyle Jones are both high pick college OFs who will likely be in full-season ball next year. There are only so many innings available.
  6. May is a guy who can eat innings in August and September, and keep Miz, Harrison and Henderson fresh for October. He has playoff experience. After Skubal, he is squarely in that next tier of available starters. And Romero has been a solid LH reliever for a long time.
  7. Agreed. Weaver would be a terrific fit for the Brewers. I imagine the Pirates are going to be giving up a lot for him, though.
  8. Cubs system is pretty bad. I imagine their top prospect, Hartshorn (#60 on the Top 100) has to be going back, plus more.
  9. I'm all for not having to see anymore Thomas Pannone-types take the ball the rest of the season. With so many rookies and young guys in the rotation and on innings limits, it makes sense to grab a guy like Holmes. Remember, too, that he has a long background as a late-inning reliever, and the Brewers love their versatility.
  10. It is very possible that the Brewers have deals on the table, and are going through the channels as far as notifying players and running medical checks. They run a very tight ship, and don't let leaks get out like other teams do.
  11. Would be odd for the Mariners to want to do this deal after just acquiring Ward. Seems they are in buy mode too.
  12. Holmes has pitched well since coming back from injury, and obviously also has experience as a late-inning reliever. Might be an interesting chess piece. I wonder if Luke Weaver is also part of the talks? Kill two birds with one stone.
  13. The Brewers have a habit of making deadline moves that are kind of out of left field. I just think that odd move will be for a bat this year. No idea who.
  14. Ehh, is what it is. If they don't make those deals, I still get to cheer on the team with the best record in the majors tonight. But yes, I'd be very surprised if the Brewers don't take steps to try to improve before 5 p.m. tonight. I don't understand why some of you are already calling this trade deadline a failure when we still have 7+ hours to go.
  15. I expect at least two deals today. One for a solid mid-rotation starting pitcher (such as Mize or Detmers), and a surprise one for a bat that no one saw coming. It'll be a guy that no one even had on the trade market.
  16. Casey Mize would be a solid addition to the rotation, but is not without risk. I am afraid of what the return would be for Detmers.
  17. BTV misses the mark most of the time in general, but determining values of relievers and other "on-the-margins" types is where they REALLY miss the mark.
  18. There is a dedicated Front Page News forum where these can and should be going, and which is also easy for the majority of posters here to avoid. That way the actual forums people surf around here can remain less cluttered by the same info over an dover again.
  19. They can definitely be combined. Plus, there is probably not really a need for a whole new article every time a new Skubal tidbit is unearthed.
  20. With multiple teams looking for catching and RHH power bats, Sanchez may be a somewhat hot commodity in the next couple days.
  21. This must be some sort of 4D chess that I don't have the ability to see.
