God knows we've done so great drafting. We're worried about a 3rd or 4th round pick for Arrietta?? Really? I can't remember where we have gone for it except in a rental situation. Lets add Arrietta and add a controllable starter and lets enjoy this team for the next 3 -4 years. We have NEVER won a world series you guys!!!!! Fricking Kansas City has how many?? Now is the time, this off season to go for this and be very good for years. Lets add. After we trade the rest of the farm for the last piece Stearns walks into the draft guy's office and says you need to replenish the system or you fired
-
The impact player could very well be on the roster. Current RF Domingo Santana
-
You do this deal to save the money. Dodgers aren't going to eat $25 million and throw us prospects. This would Aguilar on the team, and trading Santana possible and we would have Kemp for 2 years but he's horrible in the OF. I pass.
-
Ssounds like TB is lala land on the trade fronts. Fact is they need to cut payroll. Everybody knows it.
-
Kemp is a knucklehead isn't he?
-
This is the way I'd like to go as well. I hope we can get a high-upside guy with team control in trade. I know some people want us to go all in to win now, but I'd rather have a good young pitcher under team control at a reasonable price for years instead of emptying the farm for a guy like Archer or tying up 1/4 of our payroll for another 30-something year old for half a decade. I'm not saying to punt on the season. I'm thinking of trading from the group of Santana, Broxton, Thames, Aguilar to get a young, MLB-ready starter who is "unproven" at the MLB level but who Stearns thinks can be a good MLB pitcher. I don't want them to sign Arrieta, unless they somehow got him on a 1-year deal which is not going to happen. The Brewers can't afford to have a 5-6 year contract for $20M+ / year blow up on them in a couple of years. That may help us this year, but it could cripple us for a long time, and I'm not ready to make that trade-off. The only problem with that strategy is starting pitching at the deadline goes for a kings ransom. Because of 2019 looking FA and big clubs spending again this is the year for the Brewers to strike, don't wait DS.

In theory thats great but supposedly Cobb is sticking to his 4/80 price tag.
-
I think you guys are discounting Santana's value some. TB can turnaround and flip him as well. That's way too much
-
Even Boras can figure it out. Arrietta at age 34 is NOT going to get a long term deal. This will likely be his last big contract. what about 5/100 with a player opt out after 1 year If he's salty about having to settle for 100 he can try again after the year.
-
No way should we trade Santana’s control and contract for a 1 year rental and a prospect. We would be heading down the path of destruction trading assets in these types of deals. Just my thought
-
The guy turned down 4/110, I would be heated at myself as well.
-
Stearns uses TH for his propaganda. Heyman and guys like that have the info.
-
https://www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article/36613/circle-change-jake-arrieta-case/ After reading this I would pass on Arrietta. He’s not the same pitcher he was in 14 and 15 and his slider usage rate is now below 20%. I’m hoping he signs somewhere else.
-
You know Boras will want 6/126 for Arrietta arguing he’s just as good or accomplished as Darvish. Stearns is in a tough spot. If we pay $20 million per our payroll is in unchartered territory and will there be deadline money available? Yikes.
-
I like it if it’s 5 million or under.
-
The Brew are going to need a lot to go right. Anderson has to repeat. Davies has to start off better. Nelson has to regain form and Chacin has to step up. Thats alot of IF's. Otherwise they have to overspend in FA or drain the system for a controllable pitcher. Or their offense just mashes, which I think is possible with the 2 STUDS we acquired (love their OBP) and especially Yelich is going to be a monster in Miller Park. Problem Stearns has every GM realizes he needs starting pitching and he's really been the only one to make any big moves and the other GM's know it. I don't see a thread but is Stroman just off the table?
-
You should probably look at those guys stat lines. They were pretty great a year ago. While you want to insult people that don't believe that Arrieta, Lynn, or Cobb are rotation changes, you really are knocking three guys that are really putting it together. Most fans would dream of having a 24-year-old in Davies put up the stat line he did but since he's basically a middle school student, we dismiss him. If you are factoring in dollars then I will take Davies and Anderson over Lynn and Cobb and I don't think its even close. No goggles on here. FYI

Cain to Brewers - 5 years/$80M
KCBrewerfan34 replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Not sure why fans on this board really give a rip about 2021 and 2022. I'm kind of focused on 2018 myself. Just bought my Cubs tickets for April. -
You don’t pull your offer. Also, Lance Lynn is an absolute hard pass for me based on dollars and length. I almost think trading will give us better value based on production and dollars. Yes, I’m factoring in prospect loss. Go Brew!!
-
You don’t drop your offer because you want the Cubs to max pay. Sorry, no bargains for the Cubbies. Hopefully, they will add a couple more Heyward type contracts. Boras is an idiot comparing Darvish to Strasburg. Could teams ever say we are not dealing with you if you utilize Boras. Is that collusion?

Serviceable Catcher
KCBrewerfan34 replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
You must factor in the $15 million per year for multiple years. Lynn and Cobb are HARD passes IMHO. Unless their price drops into the $10-$12 per range. -
I don’t think BRew should trade Santana, Braun can’t be counted on for health. I think we stand pat unless there’s a SP trade out there not involving Domingo. Hiura is coming fast, he may help this year.
-
Where is Domingo Going?
KCBrewerfan34 replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I don’t get why “insiders” get hammered on here all the time?? Tplush saying he literally missed nothing while being true but how is his post contributing to the thread, it doesn’t!! Look at the title of this forum, transaction rumors/ proposals. Good grief, this board is becoming Twitter, and that’s sad. I for one enjoyed HH’s stuff, take all insider stuff with grains of salt. Alot of stuff can change behind closed doors, that’s for sure. -
Todd Frazier signs with Mets - 2 yrs / $17 mil
KCBrewerfan34 replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Many players (and agents) better get prepared for reset of salary expectations, if they haven’t that’s on the agent. Big big big win for the owners this off-season. They are going to save hundreds of millions of dollars in bad contracts and tax penalties, if FA continue down this path. -
Crypto has been around for years and years why would they "put an end to it" ? Wall Street and financial guys sure aren't happy about the billions and billions flowing into crypto, thats for sure.
