Fair is what the market says is fair. I'm getting tired of the players and agents whining about it all. The economics of employment are changing in MLB much as they have in society in general. Deal with it. Great post 82, I couldn’t agree more. No markets go straight up, the players and agents are acting like total babies!!!

What makes the Cubs the benchmark for free agent decisions? He's just talking about Arrieta here, not free agents in general. And I understand why. They have first-hand knowledge of Arrieta's current talent and health, and are (at least in theory) in a better position to judge his value relative to what he's asking for... I think it really comes down to age. Teams are done rewarding pitchers for past performance and they are NOT going to get stuck paying Arrietta and Darvish’s of the world $25 million per at age 35, 36 and 37 etc... How is the Albert Pujols and Miguel Cabrera contracts looking, not to mention Braun’s. You think those teams want a do over on those deals?

The value placed on cost-controlled proven pitching is very, very high. It is what it is. Not guys that do this the last 3 years. No chance we're giving up 3 guys including Santana for him. Maybe Aguilar and Broxton. Good grief. 4.19 ERA 4.26 ERA 4.55 ERA
-
It appears that he is either hinting at Trevor Bauer or the fact that something should happen in the next 24 hours. Curious what Trevor Bauer would cost, though he doesn't really move the needle as much as Archer would. Also probably would not cost Burnes though. Bauer is in his age 27 season and has been durable. Controlled for the next three seasons, so he fits the window. I think the cost is going to be high, though. Like Santana/Peralta/Ortiz high. OMG my 23 year no barf streak would come to an end if we would have to give that for Bauer. Please stop DS

Brewer World at it again on Twitter. At least HH lays it out. The tidbits have made it fun this week for sure.
-
If we get Arrietta and Archer the bank is empty, we roll with our 2B situation. That will allow us to add at the deadline (bullpen) if we're in it. Lets keep payroll in mind. MA said he can stretch it but Kipnis would put us in the 130's.
-
Find a way to get Archer without trading Burnes. Santana Ortiz Ray and Ponce. You get Archer you have a better shot at Darvish. This is an incredible opportunity IMHO.
-
Cubs are going to win this. # pawn. It’s OK we made them pay.
-
Braun is off the books in 3 years isn’t he?
-
I think this is 100% accurate. However, it doesn't appear they can clear the payroll to add him. Given this, it keeps the Brewers in play. Dodgers are going to reset their tax, unless they dump Kemp or whoever they aren’t signing Darvish.
-
If they get Darvish then you make the Archer trade.
-
Maybe we're dealing in semantics but I call acquiring Yelich and Cain an effort to sustain success over a long period of time. Greinke and Sabathia rentals are win now moves. If we get Archer its not a win now move. Its an effort to win in 18. 19, 20 and 21 for example. I don't think thats a win now scenario. We've never been in this position for sustained success like this (not since the 80's). The "hoarders" should be enjoying this even though some precious prospects have been turned into our 2 best offensive players.
-
That's literally exactly what it means. You don't make a trade unless you think you are getting more value back than you are giving up. Stearns absolutely thinks that the 4 guys he gave up on are worth less than the contract years of Yelich. The Brewers are 100% in win now mode otherwise there would be no reason to sign Cain. I'm not suggesting that is a bad strategy, only that it is without a doubt the current strategy. This is just flat out wrong wording or thinking . Trading for Sabathia and Greinke were win now moves, Yelich and Cain have 5 years of control, these 2 deals are about making the Brewers better for a long time. We will have multiple drafts to restock the minor league system. There will be some pressure to produce some players to compliment our nucleus but even the “hoarders” should be thrilled, we just acquired our 2 best offensive players (by WAR).
-
That’s a great plan but Darvish is reportedly waiting for the Dodgers and the Rangers and Cobb has a relationship with the Cubs. Boras thinks Arrietta should get $150 for 6 years (man is he high). IMHO the move here is Archer, you lock the TB GM in a room with Stearns and stormy Daniels and you get this deal done.
-
Factor in he's pitching in a very tough AL division (Yanks, Bos and Balt) move to the NL, gets to face the pitcher. Durable. Sign me up!!!!

Where is Domingo Going?
KCBrewerfan34 replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
No they definitely do not. Especially at the higher end. I'm wondering if maybe Stearns might think we have enough, not for a playoff run, but to get us to the all-star break where we will have Nelson back(and hopefully pitching like last year) and can trade for a top end pitcher. I don't know if it would work, but it would be the lowest risk move as I can see it. The best time to trade for starting pitching is right now. At the deadline the sellers will hold all of the contenders hostage. Do not wait DS -
Santana Woodruff Ortiz Dubon Make this happen. This you make a run at Cobb or Lynn.
-
Where is Domingo Going?
KCBrewerfan34 replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
NO way on Shaw. -
The deal would be something like Santana, Ortiz and Ray (or somebody like him (Dubon). 3rd prospect being somebody lesser. The 2 prospects have to be guys TB likes. If they don't like Ortiz its either Burnes or Peralta. Burnes is a NO IMHO

Ethereum= Blockchain (most popular blockchain play I believe) Xrp = Commonly referred to the "bank coin". Google Ripple and checkout their solution. Its real. Many Altcoins out there, definite crapshoot do your homework

I 100% agree unless Walker wants to play on a 1-2 year deal for $5-$7 million otherwise lets play with what we got offensively.

Stearns and Counsell- How much rope does each have?
KCBrewerfan34 replied to rickh150's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Is this for real?? Is it April 1, No. I have no words. This thread is on total ignore. I’m out -
Where is Domingo Going?
KCBrewerfan34 replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I think it’s a good starter and another 8th inning type. -

Don’t forget NELSON will be back. Hard to think we’re going to add 2 starters unless we include Davies or Woodruff in a big deal.
