    I initially thought they’d non-tender him, but after some further thought I tend to agree with you. minimal raise over arb1 salary. Not that much more than a league minimum salary of a pre-arb pitcher. He will still have 1 option remaining. We liked him enough to acquire him and he should hopefully be back at some point in the second half of next year. I think it’s worth a flier. Maybe offer a 2 year deal worth like $2m? Zerpa gets a big league deal and service time while he rehabs instead of a non tender and what might be a minor league deal. Brewers reduce the cost of 2027 whiles he’s out much of the year, but take on a little added risk by giving him guaranteed money in 2028.

    Bumping this thread after we’ve seen what kinda unintentionally turned into two piggyback starts in the last 3 games. I don’t think these were intentional, Murphy even sorta alluded to just letting Patrick continue to pitch because it was working and he really only “planned” for 2. Not sure they’ll make any “permanent” matches of guys… but Sproat, Patrick, Gasser, Crow, Drohan, and even Henderson could kinda fit into some loose pairs while Harrison and Misiorowski are more traditional SP (and woody if/when he’s healthy) I

    So if Megill pitches the 8th, Patrick only went 1 IP. does that mean Patrick makes his next start on Saturday against the Twins? will be interesting to see what Murphy says about Patrick pitching in relief tonight. I assume one of our best writers will ask about it post game.

    Volpe is an interesting idea. He’s probably better than Ortiz, can definitely play SS, and he’s fallen out of favor with his current team. We’ve matched up with the Yankees on a trade recently. I think it would take a legitimate prospect to get a deal done. Someone we’re familiar with, but I’m not sure how good of a package. ultimately I think we are more likely to turn to Pratt and/or Williams than we are to acquire anyone notable.

    I think this is pretty fair on everyone listed.

    I expected Eddys Leonard to make to opening day roster before they made the late flurry of moves with the Durbin trade and signing Rengifo. I have to imagine it’s only a matter of time before he gets an opportunity in Milwaukee. I feel like Rengifo hasn’t been as bad as his batting line would suggest, but eventually we will need some production out of the left side of the infield. I wonder how likely an in season promotion got Adamczewski is. There’s some space for him in that AA outfield. Payne too if they both keep this up.

    I guess I didn’t realize he needed to be added to the 40 man roster. That aspect is a little bit of a bummer. Hopefully you don’t need 3 options on him, but we will be burning an option this year. It also gives us 1 less 40 man roster spot to cycle through waiver claims, promotions, trades, etc. just minor inconveniences if Pratt turns into an above average starting SS

    Probably pretty good framework on what it would take to sign Made to a long term deal. i know griffin is considered to be a better prospect than Emerson, but this is a heck of a lot more.

    Just reading the prospect reports I was thinking Lara may end up as a high floor 4th outfielder. Similar profile to Blake Perkins. But then he was impressive in big league camp and now that MiLBtv is included with mlbtv I’ve watched a few games and I’m back on board with him being the CF of the future and possibly even by opening day 2027. carlos Rodriguez might be in DFA danger at some point this year. Not a lot of dead weight on the 40 man. He’s one of 3-4 guys who might not last the season.

    The 2027 infield outlook is definitely a bit murkier than I see the 2028 infield. First: If you asked me at the start of the off season I would have guessed Vaughn would be playing elsewhere in 2027. He still might be, but i'm finding hard to believe we would trade Vaughn and Contreras in the same off season. I do expect us to trade contreras, so if Vaughn is worth tendering a contract to, he could be our primary first baseman in 2027. Maybe Black gets a crack at the Bauers role, he'll be out of options after all. Second: Turang. not much discussion needed for 2027. SS: with the Pratt extension, I expect he'll be the primary SS in 2027. Not sure what to make of the Ortiz situation, if he rebounds to a league average bat it's a tougher decision. Third: I think at some point, even if it isn't opening day, Made will be the primary third baseman in 2027. I hope we're able to sign him to an extension and the Emerson deal is a pretty reasonable comp. 2028 I think the picture is much clearer. I expect Turang, Pratt and Made to entrenched as starters and I think Fischer winds up slotting in at first base.

    I was only able to catch some of the game, but the bullpen keeps bullpenning. Off day tomorrow will be nice, especially because Chad Patrick is unlikely to go more than 5.0 IP. nice to get 6 out of Misiorowski and 2 of the 3 relief innings were from the “B” bullpen.
  12. long ball
    The brewers having confidence in him gives me more confidence in him. I suppose he’s penciled in as our opening day short stop in 2027. this also probably firms up Made moving off of SS. (as far as Turang goes, ya we probably aren’t going to extend or resign him. However no reason to to at least keeping him through the 2028 season)

    Looks like Matos is out of options. So I’d assume that means Perkins will be optioned to AAA. I don’t know anything about Matos other than looking at his stats page. Nothing real exciting there.

    Caveat of it being the white Sox, but it’s great to see this team show the same fight they showed so often last season. real bummer of a start for sproat. Couldn’t reign in any semblance of command. Hopefully he bounces back next start. heck of a job by the B bullpen and defense to keep the white Sox down long enough to give the offense a chance and megill to close it out. a little surprised Contreras didn’t challenge the potential strike three call in the top of the 9th to the first batter. Glad it didn’t end up hurting us. fun way to start the year! Looking forward to the next series. Harrison is the newcomer in most interested in seeing.

    I’m looking forward to Sproats first start. He only had 4 mlb starts last year but 2 of them he went six innings. So it would be nice if he can get through 5 or 6. I’d expect Koenig and Megill to each get an inning today as well. it’ll be interesting to see how we fare against a lefty SP down 2 of our 3 main righty bats. Luckily it should be a bit of a soft landing, a guy we should be able to hit.
  16. long ball
    It’s not how we wanted it to happen, but we are going to see a lot of Bauers and Lockridge. We will see if the changes they’ve made at the plate produce regular season results over at least a month here.

    For those who didn’t know, milbtv is included in mlbtv this year.

    I hate that the cubs locked up Nico Hoerner. He’s awesome and I would’ve preferred to see them trade him in the off season after signing Bregman. I do wonder how much faith they have in Matt Shaw to develop as a hitter. They’ve slid him into the utility role and was out on RF yesterday (Seiya is on the IL). The PCA extension has some risk, but ultimately they bought out 2 free agent years and didn’t have to take the deal into his 30s where his premier skills (defense and speed) will likely be starting to fade. Now I hope just like the rest of the commenters here that he stinks at the plate, but the speed/defense/power give him a really high floor.

    If that’s it, that’s a pretty good outing from Misiorowski. I’m not sure he well ever be super efficient to where he’s working into the 7th consistently. I can’t recall how many pitches he went toward the end of spring.
  20. long ball
    It will be interesting to see how the playing time works out at 3b. Hamilton getting the start today against the righty. Rengifo is a switch hitter but better from the right. I don’t think it’ll be a straight platoon, but hopefully at least one of them will hit a bit.
  21. long ball
    Well that’s a bummer. I guess we will probably see a lot of Bauers in LF then to start the year. Then a mix of the other guys in CF
  22. long ball
    Man I love baseball season so much. I can’t wait. Im guessing we see bauers in LF and Chourio in CF today. Misiorowski being a high strike out guy kinda allows a weaker defense. Let Bauers cook.
  23. long ball
    Who knows if he will stick on the roster all year, but it does make some sense to add a guy who can soak up multiple innings in a mop up role here early in the season while guys like Gasser and Henderson stay stretched out. if he flops it’s no big deal to Dfa him. Hunt is a decent prospect, but it’s a price I’m willing to pay for a guy who could help the big league roster now. I like McGee more than many fans, but no harm in him starting in AAA.
  24. long ball
    Schedule looks a little soft to get it started. Sure we usually are working out the kinks in the roster, but I think we get off to a hot start. 20-10.
