    It was very nice to see the bats get going today, acquisition of Willy Adames makes this a much better lineup. I would have to think Stearns main goal at the trade deadline has to be to acquire a better bat at 3rd. Shaw has a wRC+ of 80, league average is 100. Maybe Escobar or Seager who are both sporting a 100+ wRC+ or the pipe dream of Story. Either way this team is close, just need a couple bullpen arms and a bat at 3rd. Who do you guys like? I’ve been pulling for both Escobar and Seager for a few years now.

    I’ve only been banging the drum for him since last offseason. Would love to have him.
  3. titletownking
    I would love a Jeffress return but as we’ve learned with Stearns. He values individual over position. What I mean by that is just because he was interested in Rosenthal doesn’t mean he’s interested in adding another reliever. It’s the BPA theory.
  4. titletownking
    Cron couldn’t even get a major league deal. I think it’s safe to say we drastically overvalued the market for guys like him and undervalued the market for 36 year old vets like Turner. Makes me think a few others can be had out there for similar minor league type deal.
  5. titletownking
    I believe Cabrera signed already. Just not interested at all in Franco. Again this is where I pivot to a trade if anything. Escobar, Seager, Jeimer... not sure.
  6. titletownking
    I’d just rather play Urias/Robertson then pay anyone else left out there. It’s not over yet but kind of a disappointing offseason. Stearns has time to fill out the roster still.
  7. titletownking
    In the past when this exact situation of being outbid has happened, we typically didn’t make a big splash. Stearns doesn’t react based on things like that, he’s measured. My guess is we sign a minimum type guy and roll with this group of guys.
  8. titletownking
    I think at this point we’re probably rolling with what we got. The Turner news is disappointing but most of us seen it coming all along. Tough to compete with teams that are nearly $40 million over the luxury tax. I’d like to see the Brewers target another rotation flyer and bullpen piece but we shall see.

    The fact that the Brewers are publicly out there as a suitor actually makes me even less optimistic than I was before (which wasn't much to begin with). The Brewers never operate in the public eye. Every time they sign a player of any magnitude, it almost always comes as a complete surprise. This tweet makes me think that Turner is simply trying to squeeze a few more nickels, or an option year, out of the Dodgers. I'd be extremely surprised if this happens. On the flip side, we heard Brewers were interested in Wong and within the hour we then heard they came to an agreement.

    Why would Detroit trade Candelario, if he has some ability, is affordable and under team control long term? Those are they type of players rebuilding clubs like Detroit target, not trade away. In a purse sense, every player in MLB is "available" for a price. However, trading for a player coming off an .872 OPS who has multiple seasons of team control left, etc. etc. means to cost to acquire him from Detroit is probably not worth it to the Brewers, then they could acquire a comparable player as a free agent. First, he will hit arbitration next year. Also, he’s not a franchise cornerstone player. What Candelario is, is a decent bat for a contending team. You guys speculate about a free agent like Justin Turner who will probably get over $30 million for two years and 90% likely will resign with the Dodgers yet shut down other options without blinking. This happens far too often on here. As far as Fletcher goes, he’s probably too costly but he’s got a good bat and nice versatility.
  11. titletownking
    How do y’all feel about Jeimer Candelario at 3rd? Put up solid numbers last year, making the minimum and still just 26 years young. Similarly, how about David Fletcher from the Angels? Also 26 and has solid position versatility.
  12. titletownking
    I hope people aren’t forgetting how good Ramirez was for us. Ridiculous first season, all star in his 2nd year and was traded in 2nd half of 3rd year putting up 31 homers. If Turner is anywhere near that, give the guy any 3 year deal. Now.
  13. titletownking
    Please let this happen, that is also my name and I’ve always wanted to hear my name announced in the Brewers lineup haha.
  14. titletownking
    Turner will be signing within the next few days. Most of the premier free agents are now off the board with Bauer and Ozuna having signed recently. Hopes would be one of Turner, Paxton or Walker is a Brewer within next week.
  15. titletownking
    In that same article it’s mentioned that Arizona has been getting calls for Escobar, how do you y’all feel about that and what type of package to acquire him?
  16. titletownking
    Always a bridesmaid. The offense needs another quality bat desperately.
  17. titletownking
    I would take that season in a heartbeat. Would put him among the top 7 or 8 catchers and his glove improved last year pretty significantly.
  18. titletownking
    So it’s evident we need harsher penalties for both exceeding the luxury tax and failing to meet a salary floor. Difference between teams 1-30 should never be $200 million+
  19. titletownking
    Absolutely would think so, I can’t imagine who else he would be brought in for..
  20. titletownking
    I’m all in on the Ramirez train. Hiura, Small and Feliciano should be close. I would also like to see the team sign Hill to balance out the rotation and then we got ourselves a damn fine ball club. That lineup with our aces leading the rotation and the best bullpen in the NL.
  21. titletownking
    It’s now February 1st, I very much expect the Brewers to do something this week. 16 days now until Pitchers and Catchers report, at this point every pitcher might have a personal catcher! Would be extremely disappointed in the organization if multiple moves aren’t completed within the next 7 days. Figure it out Stearns and Company.
  22. titletownking
    Can somebody crunch the numbers on value. How about Jose Ramirez for Mitchell, Small, Ashby and either Tyrone Taylor or Corey Ray? Are we in the ballpark for value? Brewers also send comp. pick to Cleveland.
  23. titletownking
    It’s January 30th tomorrow. Still a few quality guys left but most appear to be out of the Crew’s price. Possible this season is a reset/mini rebuild? Not seeing this team compete for a division let alone pennant.
  24. titletownking
    BOOM.
  25. titletownking
    Couldn’t have been more wrong. Zero activity. Wow, rather shocked following arbitration settlements being completed we haven’t seen any action. The guys report in less than a month.
