    We'll see soon enough

    If this goes through, you've got a stable, modernized stadium through 2050, a top 5 farm system, a winning ballclub, and only one bad, long term contract on the books. And you're an owner who last week more than doubled your stake in a soccer team, with an eye on soon acquiring a controlling interest. Hard to imagine a more opportune time to exit from one and cash in, while setting your sights and primary focus on your other new toy. It doesn't make much sense for a guy who is already way, way down the pecking order in MLB wealth to further dilute himself by investing in another sports franchise and spreading yourself that much thinner as opposed to simply pouring additional wealth into your first endeavor. At least, much like Herb Kohl, you've secured the team's future in Milwaukee before ending your run. Right down to committing some of your own dollars to the team's future stadium situation upon your exit. Here's to hopefully deeper pockets taking the reins.

    Oof, that's Ah bad

    You said "put him on the practice squad". There is no "putting" of a player on the practice squad. You release a player then sign them to the practice squad if no other team claims them or signs them for their 53. That's why it's called "sneaking" a player on to the practice squad when you release a player on cut downs who you hope to keep in the organization.

    Gee, is that all? For a 1.3 year rental

    Ethan Small with another couple of scoreless and more importantly, walkless innings 2.68 ERA with a 1.08 WHIP and nearly 3 to 1 SO/BB ratio as a reliever this year
  7. True Blue Brew Crew
    The Brewers are currently 10 games over in spite of more nights where they forget how to hit more than any other team in the NL and having outscored opponents by 1 run on the season. He's doing something very right.

    So let's say the Brewers trade Burnes in the offseason and then are in 2024 playoff contention. Come the July trade deadline, the young bats have blossomed, the young rotation replacements have held their own, and it's said loudly by fans and pundits, that they're just a top end starter away from being a serious WS contender. They consider making a CC Sabathia type move and the price is 2-3 top prospects for a rental. Wouldn't it have just made more sense to hold on to Burnes and not have to trade away a handful prospects on par with the ones who just got when you traded Burnes prior to the season. Since the Brewers still look to be competitive in 2024, there's an argument to be made that keeping him (and Woodruff) and getting draft pick compensation between rounds 1 and 2 in the 2025 draft, is a sensible option.

    Ethan Small quietly figuring some things out as well. Aside from his lone start for Nashville this year, he's been a solid reliever. And in July and August combined, he's only walked 2 batters while striking out 13 in 12 innings pitched

    Counsell has the best winning percentage of any manager in MLB history in 1 run games https://www.si.com/mlb/2023/08/14/brewers-milwaukee-magic-one-run-games-playoffs Kinda important for a team that wins on the margins
  11. True Blue Brew Crew
    TE Davis out for the year so there's a fairly good chance it's now just Musgrave, Kraft, Degura at the TE position. Davis will have to be replaced as a key guy on ST so that opened spot likely goes to a WR, LB, DB, RB as opposed to an extra OL, DL, or QB.

    I don't know, but their collapse as well as the drop off by the Marlins, has significantly increased the Brewers chances of making the playoffs. If the Cubs (or Reds) pass them in the division, the Brewers are still well positioned in the WC race assuming they're passed in the division because either the Cubs or Reds go on a tear, and not because of a collapse of their own by the Crew. In a short period of time, the amount of wins needed to snag that last spot has dropped from a projected 86-87 to now 84. And the Brewers postseason odds are now up to 82.7% (59.6% to win the division).

    Call me crazy but I just want one shot to see this high leg-kick free Hiura in Milwaukee. Would hate to see this become a career turnaround adjustment somewhere else.
  14. True Blue Brew Crew
    They must feel good enough about Blalock that they anticipate adding him to their 40 man roster this winter. Or they think since he's still in high A that he'll go unselected in the rule 5. But if they leave him unprotected and he gets picked they'll have given Urias away for nothing. Something to watch
  15. True Blue Brew Crew
    I'm sorry but these articles have to get better
  16. True Blue Brew Crew
    The Brewers control Peralta through 2026 with the team friendly extension he signed in 2020
  17. True Blue Brew Crew
    It's funny that you mention the Braves in the 2nd sentence after "World Series here we come". Because Santana and Canha are exactly the types of low cost players the Braves traded for in 2021 when they won the World Series. The Braves at the 21' deadline were very much like the 23' Brewers. A team in contention but clearly not in anyone's argument as a WS favorite at the time. With 6 playoff spots you don't go "all-in" any time you're simply in the playoff picture. Some years you patch holes at low cost. This is one of those years.
  18. True Blue Brew Crew
    MLB.com has them as the Cubs #14 and #16 prospects. No matter what way you slice it, the price was considerably steeper than what the Brewers paid for Canha (Jarvis #30). https://www.mlb.com/prospects/cubs
  19. True Blue Brew Crew
    Cubs gave up their #14 and #16 prospects which is a stiffer price than what the Brewers parted with for Canha who conceivably could outhit Candelario down the stretch. I'd much rather make the Canha deal than what the Cubs just did.
  20. True Blue Brew Crew
    I would've been with you 1-2 years ago when the window was longer with Burnes, Woodruff, and Hader. But at this point, the focus needs to be building around Chourio, Frelick, Black, Mitchell, Yelich, Peralta, Contreras, Quero, Misiorowski, Weimer, Turang, Gasser, Ashby, etc. Nothing significant should be moved to bolster the 2023 team. Moves like Santana and Canha for 20-30 ranked players in the system are appropriate right now.
  21. True Blue Brew Crew
    Yep give this group at chance to get hot but hold the main prospects to don the Brewers uniform for this next contending window.
  22. True Blue Brew Crew
    Let's face it, this isn't a team that screams go all in. They're picking up incremental improvements for middling prospects and that's a sound approach with the current group.
  23. True Blue Brew Crew
    No flippin' way. There's no bat with the impact or long term control available to make it worth it.
  24. True Blue Brew Crew
    Reduces the credibility of this website imo. Imagine a new visitor reading this nearly daily absurdity and thinking this is a writer for the site?
  25. True Blue Brew Crew
    Gonna need a detailed drawing on how Chourio won't be a MLB regular until 2026. That's umm, wild
