Dadbauer

Also everyone always wants the Brewers to get power, and even in a down year Henderson has more homeruns than anyone on our team except Bauers. But to get back on topic - get Skubal too!

Yeah but he's also been injured quite a bit already and Skubal has won 2 Cy Youngs and you have the knowledge of your team having the 2nd best record in baseball. I'm not saying they SHOULD do it, but the price is what the market dictates and the 1st best team in baseball will certainly be ready if we don't meet the price.

I'm not with saying they should trade Henderson for Skubal but you can't honestly think that Henderson is gonna be better than Skubal. Even if the numbers are remotely close, who would you rather start a playoff game? Who could realistically pitch into the 8th? Who is gonna sell boatloads of tickets? Who is gonna motivate an entire roster of guys when the front office says "alright, we're getting the best pitch on the market, let's go win a World Series." It's not Henderson even if their ERA is approximately the same.

Yeah and last year I'd have hated to have lost Quinn Priester. Pitching is so fickle and one injury can derail an entire career. Tobias Meyers in 2023 looked like our ace of the future. Sell high if it makes sense. Drohan has been great for us but he was also kind of the throw in of the Caleb Durbin trade.

I don't think you can declare that a guy with 9 major league innings is definitely a AAAA guy - Priester and Harrison didn't have a ton of major league success before coming here and that was with a much larger sample. I'm not saying Gordon will match them, but declaring him a bust after 9 innings is insane to me. EDIT - Ah, I misread and thought this year was his first year with big league innings. The sample size is larger, but I still tend to trust our pitching development.

There's no way we are giving up Brock Wilken for a 27 year old AAA pitcher and 7 million dollars of Lance McCullers. This sounds like a salary dump with a prospect attached so they don't have to pay it.

Would be pretty special if he and his brother both hit for us and could play together.

Teams generally don't trade good players for "backups."

I'd prefer a bat with more power especially if it's going to hurt us defensively.

I'm skeptical the Padres will trade Mason Miller, but they are under .500 and high end bullpen pieces can go for a ton of prospect capitol to help them rebuild more quickly. Is a Mason Miller trade realistic? He will likely get expensive in arb, but it would make our bullpen super elite.

I think the Giants would prefer to trade like 12 other guys before Schmitt.

I'll just be glad when it's open so I can use that path to walk to the left field gate entrance.

I like the optimism but I think you'd feel pretty silly if you go into an elimination game and Woody comes out throwing 88 MPH fastballs.

Per Curt Hogg on Bluesky: "A positive update on Luis Peña: He was cleared to resume baseball activities. He tentatively will be able to begin playing games in Arizona next week."

Would feel bad for Freddy if he gets traded again. CJ Abrams would look great in powder blue.
