Nah. Team is winning and Mitchell is playing well. Sal playing well lately but seasons stats worse than Mitchell. Mitchell’s ceiling is higher than Sal and he at least shows some power. Mitchell or Frelick could be traded this offseason if they want to sell high on Mitchell if he stays healthy and produces but highly doubt they make a trade of one of those 2 in season and mess with the current teams mojo. Sal’s value is low rn anyways. Lara will likely only be called up soon in case of injury. Lockridge replaces Perkins soon as 4th/5th OF and Bauers will continue to get some spot OF starts to keep him in the lineup. think most likely way to get Lara involved without an injury is to cut Sal’s playing time and make him the 4th OF playing only vs RHP if he doesn’t start hitting more. But they will give Sal some leash still after last year’s performance and Murphy and management love him. -

It’s gotta be any day now. Same with Adamczewski -

Luis Lara Extended for Reported 7 years/$31 million
JoeyWiemerTruther replied to patrickgpe's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Assume he’s added to the 40 man as soon as this is finalized so Perkins era might finally be over or, maybe just cut Akil Baddoo -
Luis Lara Extended for Reported 7 years/$31 million
JoeyWiemerTruther replied to patrickgpe's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Wow, big news, and means he won’t be in any trade packages this July. Your CF of the future . -
Hope my boy Tate Kuehner gets the call up today. I wanted to see him this year but not cause of a million LHP injuries. The only other LHP in AAA are Koenig (still rehabbing), Drew Rom, and Mark Manfredi who was just recently called up to AAA. could see it being Rom though since he’s already been working out of the pen
-
Shame cause before that knee injury last year he was leading the ENTIRE minor leagues across all levels in HRs with 17-18 in 50 games or so. I bet he’d be better if he repeated AAA next year but not sure MIL wants to be patient anymore considering he’d have to take up a 40 man spot next year.
-
Shame if so but I’d get it, big Brocket Launcher fan but he’s gotta get those #s up. In the midst of his 31 game on base streak I thought he was turning a corner after he started the season I think 1-31 but now cooled off again. I believe Lara, Jett, Wilken, L. Adams and maybe a few others (Kuehner? Wichrowski?) all have to be added to the 40 man by this winter to avoid rule 5 eligibility, so could see Wilken and/or Adams as a trade throw in next month which would suck for me as a fan of them but I could see it. Depends what their plan at 1B is next year (if there is a season). Bauers might be working towards being paid too much by someone who’s not the Brewers this offseason, Vaughn will cost around $9-10 mil in his final arb year next season before FA. Then you still have Tyler Black who probably doesn’t have a future but has a small chance at being the Bauers replacement LHB 1B 2027 platooner. Unlikely due to his lack of power though. Blake Burke also getting closer to the MLB. Some decisions will have to be made.

I’d be all in on that MLB Network package of Lara/Jett/Letson for Skubal if that’s what it took. Not having to include any of Made/Pena/Pratt/Fischer would be great. They’ll have other OFers really popping on the scene soon and some already are (Adamczewski, Payne, Frias, Encarnacion, Antunez, Ragsdale, etc). In terms of the OF outlook: You already have Chourio locked down into the 2030s. Sal and Mitchell could be on their way out after this year if they keep playing bad but I could stomach giving Sal another chance next year. Lockridge could be flipped as part of a trade if he does well to end the year otherwise can bring him back as 5th OFer. Mitchell especially if he does well to end the year is an easy sell high trade candidate since his body is always a ticking time bomb. Otherwise still a decent 3rd/4th OFer option next year. Hypothetically Lara should take Mitchell’s CF starting spot for opening day next year but I’m still fine trading Lara for Skubal. Also if this lockout does happen, they have the 2026 and 2027 drafts (assuming there’s still a draft then?) in the downtime if they want to replace Jett and Lara with a few college OFers ready to debut maybe already in 2028. Adamczewski and Payne should be ready to debut in 2028 after a lockout. So even if you trade Lara and Jett, OF depth shouldn’t be any issue.

Why hasn’t Brock Wilken been in the Sounds lineup for 4-5 days? Cant find anything on it
-
Do whatever it takes to get Paul Goldschmidt, bring up Keston Hiura, who very hopefully pans out, get rid of Aguilar, get rid of Schoop, and this offense should be way more efficient. Not sure about Moustakas. Arcia needs to take that mojo into 2019
-
The offense is to blame for this, plain and simple. You can pick apart little decisions from Counsell that didn’t really have much impact on the result but the offense crapped the bed in multiple games this series. They wasted an unbelievable performance from the brewers pitching and namely the bullpen with their terrible hitting approaches. Some of that is definitely attributed to the Dodgers pitching but not all of it. Offense blew it. Now we all have to sit here and think about it until April.
-
The pitching pretty much couldn’t have been better during these playoffs, the offense simply didn’t get it done. Game 4. Game 5. Game 7. Of course the only times the pitching faltered this series was JJ in big situations especially game 2 after he had been lights out all regular season. Not sure what his issue was. That’s just the way it is as a Wisconsin sports fan I guess. Still can’t believe Roethlisberger didn’t lead a game winning TD drive to beat the Packers in 2010 with how things go being a Wisconsin sports fan.
-
Game 2 Jeffress... Game 4 nonexistent offense for 13 innings in a very winnable game... gonna remember those for awhile. Should’ve been a sweep. And now I have to see Machado and Puig celebrate in our city. I’ll love to see JJ back even though he completely choked but I want Aguilar gone. He peaked this year. The first half I should say.
-
They blew a chance at the World Series. Tell me more how “it was a great year” “next year they’ll be better” “what a great season” now I know how it must’ve been to be a Cubs fan for all those years
-
Woodruff hitting 99, damn
-
To whatever you can to trade for Paul Goldschmidt this offseason
-
You’re telling me a solo HR in the first by Yelich is the only offense this team is going to put up tonight in a game like this? Really? Kudos to guys like Aguilar for not showing up tonight
-
It’s too bad that a team like the classless Dodgers have the lucky things that happen to them. That unreal catch. When Puigs homer hit the yellow line bounced over a small part of me died. He’s a classless *****
-
And I’ll find comfort in due time in the fact that they should be even better next year and this is by no means a 1 year window for a championship closing. But if they lose this will hurt like a MFer for a while
-
Man you can’t reach this point and lose and then tell people that they should be happy they made it this far, that’s a Packers fan mentality. You need to win the World Series. No consolation prizes or no “well we made it this far” I don’t care how overmatched this team was on paper, they should’ve won this series and (probably) blew it.
-
Wouldn’t mind not seeing Aguilar on the team next year if they can trade him while his value might be high, few players I’ve watched are more frustrating at the plate
-
You would really rather have another high home run, high strikeout low average player in this lineup? No thanks. Based on OPS I guess you would also say you’d rather have Khris Davis over Jose Altuve or Joey Votto
-
As a contender, the Brewers were in no position to trade Aguilar this season. Contending teams just don't do that. Had they not been a contender, though, I'm sure Jesus would have been on the trade block, and he likely would have fetched a decent haul of prospects at the deadline, even though he had already fallen off by the end of July. I do agree with the idea of Braun seeing more time at 1st, though. That opens up LF, which is Yelich's best spot, and gives them the chance to either play Santana in RF, or acquire someone to make starts out there. It is possible that Corey Ray isn't far away from being the "RF of the future" as well. He should start at AAA next year, and if he continues to improve, he very well may see MLB time. Corey Ray hit .238 and .239 in his last 2 seasons and has nearly reached 200 Ks in both seasons, he should be nowhere near the MLB lineup. It might be perceived as crazy but I truly think Hiura would be helping this team more right now that Perez and Schoop are at 2nd base.
