Brewers signed Ryon Healy

I believe if a trade were to get done with the Yankees, Andujar would be a part of it, which isn't a bad thing. The defense is very bad, but the bat is legit, the guy can flat out rake. Either they believe the defense can improve, he was an average defender in the minors, or they could move him to first. But if a deal were to get done, we'd be getting a lot more back obviously. Frazier was a top 20 prospect and the bat speed is legit, he just needs a chance to play everyday. They also have pitchers like garcia, domingo german, Jordan montgomery. Then you have other players who could be involved like relief pitchers like Kahn or position players Like Jason Dominguez, Florial, Mike Ford, etc. All those players have either had big league success or are highly regarded in the minors. You have to assume we'd get at least 3 or 4 of those guys. If you get 3 or 4 guys that would be above average regulars, and I believe Andujar can be an all star, for a relief pitcher, even one as good as hader, I believe it's a good trade imo. I just like a lot of the guys we could realistically get back from the Yankees.

If this trade is offered to you, I'd do it in a heart beat no questions asked. You're getting back a dominant pitcher and an all star ss with kdaddy who has to work on a lot of things. But, with the rumors about what the dodgers are supposidly offering there is no way the Indians take this.

According to Jose F. Rivera the brewers are close to an agreement with Avisail Garcia. Idk who that is but he's a verified on twitter and followed by big baseball people, so take this for what it is.

Refering to the Yankees trade idea: You do this trade in a heart beat. Hader is amazing! But you dont build around a relief pitcher. If a team comes to you and offers you 3 guys who have all star potential, you take it. We just need 1 of those guys to pan out for it to be a good trade. A 3b/1b, of, and a sp all have more value than a rp in my oppinion. 2 of the 3 have shown they can hit in the bigs and would help us now.

Yes its clear the Yankees would like to add Hader. The problem is they don't have the pieces to match Hader's value without giving up a piece of their super team. I don't think thats true. If the Yankees came out and offered us a package of frazier, andujar Deivi Garcia you wouldn't do it? Those are all pieces that they can afford to get rid of, and they are all pieces that could have a huge impact for us next year. If I were Stearns, that wouldn't even register on my radar as a trade for the best RP in baseball whys that? People seem to overvalue Hader a tad bit. Yes he's the best rp in baseball, but that's just it he's a rp. You can't build a team around a relief pitcher. If you're getting back 3 players with all star potential, I think that's a pretty solid deal but that's just my opinion.

There's already been rumors that he'll get a contract worth 100m. It's from bob, so take that as you may. He has a big market right now though so he, wont be cheap. But we've been asking that we spend big on a pitcher for years now. If we get him, we're banking on the name and that he can produce like he did a few years ago and tbh I'm all for it.

this is a great trade. cheap, controlable, didn't give up much and can hit

Alright, so there is a good chance I may get some hate from some people here....but the offense I dont think is as bad as people think. Cf: Cain (Cain was hurt last year and tried to play threw it. Also had a high hard hit % so he had a lot of bad luck. Wont be suprised if he hits 280 with a 350 obp) SS: Luis Urius (He wont bat 2 right away. But had very minimal at bats, and was already better than arcia. He lives up to his hype he's a 300 hitter. But this year I can see hi hitting 270 with also a 350 obp if he's playing everyday. RF: Yeli (He's okay I guess. But if we bat him 3, and 2 guys have a 350 obp he's going to have lot of runners on to do his thing. 2b Kdaddy (he's going to be up for a full year....who knows what he'll do. Would anyone be suprised if he already hit 30 hrs and hit 300? he's great insurance behind yeli) Lf Braun (had a very underated year last year) 3b: Mcneil, Kendrick, Frazier, Asdrubal Cabrera, Didi maybe? 1b: Cron, thames, dom smith, Moreland, Smoak C Pina (can hit 230-240 which I'll take from an 8 hitter, but he provides great defense) Jason castro: 1 year 4 mil That's going to be a very solid platoon with good defense The only holes we have are 1st and 3rd on offense. But there are lots of cheap, but productive options that I would take for 6 and 7 hitters. But what if the mets do offer Mcneil and dom smith for a package around Hader? My point being the offense isn't terrible and I'm sure they'll add some talent there that we'll be productive. That being said we have money to spend on pitching. What if we do out and Sign a Keuchel for 15 mil? Also, Make a trade for Robbie Ray. I don't think he'll command turang Woody Keuchel Ray houser Laur Obviously this is all best case scenario imo...but I beleive the payroll would be below the 122 we had at the start of last year so we'll see. Stearns is going to be creative to fill our needs, so even if we do want to cut payroll im donfident we'll find production and be competitive next year.

I could see the Dodgers getting desperate. How does an offer of Dustin May and Alex Verdugo sound? To much or to little? Dodgers have tons of of's and they get the best releiver in the game without lux. This leaves us with money to go out and sign Wheeler or sombody of that caliber. All of a sudden we have a rotation that consist of Woody, wheeler and may.

IMO Rendon is way out of Stearns' price range. He's likely going to get Cole type money. They'd be better off going for Moose and getting Wheeler (4-$80M) for about the same money. Unless it’s self imposed (which would be total bs) it is absolute fiction that anyone is out of the Brewers’ price range this offseason. Whether it’s a good idea is another thing. Rendon and Yelich would be the best 3-4 in baseball. I say do whatever it takes to get him because the window is now.It's not that they can't afford to do it, it's that they can't afford for that deal to go bad. Someone is going to give him a 7 year offer. If he signs with us for 7 years, awesome! But that deal will kind of limit us to what we can do in the future for upgrades, players getting raises, and it still doesn't solve our pitching problem. Plus, why not use that money to extend Yeli? I feel like your basicaly saying he's gone in 3 years if you sign Rendon. You never know with stearns though, but imo you could get moose, a huge pitching additon, and a 1b for less than what it'd take to get rendon.

It's a good thought! But If a team like the dodgers or somebody wants him, they'll out bid us. Plus Lindor will be gone in 2 years anways so it's a big risk. Hopfully, we have a ss of the future now, and we can use turang and other prospects to go out and trade for a pitcher. Maybe Robbie Ray?

We just fleeced the padres. If Urias can play a good ss and live to his potential, we have our middle infield for the next 6 years. But the best part is is now we don't need to go out and get a didi or another ss. This saves sooooo much money that they can use on pitching. Say hello to all the Zach Wheeler rumors. Corey Ray also has a path to the bigs IF he can have a good season in AAA.

A lot of people talk about Omar's defense. Yes it's bad, but we also have pina to back him up. Omar is a perfect fit imo. - He's left handed and hit 22 hr's with seatle being his home ballpark. He could hit more at Miller Park - He'd be a good platoon for pina. Hit very well vs righties, but lefties he struggled pretty badly - He's projected to earn a little over 2 mil next year. Leaves lots of money to fix other holes on the team. - he's only 27 and has 3 years of control I think this could get done without giving up a ton. I think a deal with Corey Ray and Peyton Henry is something the Mariners would strongly consider and something I would do. I'm not worried about the defense with Pina being our backup.
