    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

    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.

    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

    I'm sorry but these articles have to get better

    The Brewers control Peralta through 2026 with the team friendly extension he signed in 2020

    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.

    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
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. True Blue Brew Crew
    No flippin' way. There's no bat with the impact or long term control available to make it worth it.
  16. 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?
  17. True Blue Brew Crew
    Gonna need a detailed drawing on how Chourio won't be a MLB regular until 2026. That's umm, wild
  18. True Blue Brew Crew
    The risk is much lower at this point with more than half of his 2023 contract already paid and a 2023 collection of at bats to evaluate.
  19. True Blue Brew Crew
    The appropriate expenditure of assets that the 2023 team warrants. A prospect outside of the top 20 for a bat that is not super high impact but yet a significant improvement over what they've been getting from much of the lineup to date. Exactly the kind of trade I've been calling for on the transaction rumors and proposals forum.
  20. True Blue Brew Crew
    The pool of players available on the trade market is so weak this year that the Brewers shouldn't even discussing anyone in their top 10
  21. True Blue Brew Crew
    If I have my math right, the Brewers signed 17 out of 20 draft picks. Anyone else come to a different total?

    Just want to thank you for the reverse jinx. Well done. Surely this dude was joking, right?
  24. True Blue Brew Crew
    Simple. Avoid the bigger named stars and go for the older veteran in the last few months of their deal who are having solid years or are showing something hopeful. Those guys can be had for a middling prospect. And often they have as much if not more of an impact that the big name bat. Jorge Soler was acquired by the Braves two years ago for a mid 20's prospect named Kasey Kalich who has since been released from the minors by the Royals and hasn't pitched for anyone this year. All Soler did was become WS MVP for the Braves that year. Eddie Rosario was acquired for the corpse of Pablo Sandoval at the same deadline and he was the Braves NLCS MVP. Other players who fit the same mold whose playoff contribution far outsized the price to acquire them include Steve Pearce, Howie Kendrick, and Randall Simon. Yes these are longshots but that's all this current Brewers team is worth spending on.

    This is where I'm at as well. It would realistically take 3-4 new bats in the lineup to make much difference with this offense. Remember, since 2019 this is an offense that has averaged 1 run per game vs playoff pitching where you get team's top 3 starters and the best of their bullpen. As the Padres have shown, there's no guarantee that the star bat will even show up in October. Meanwhile the Braves have shown that the scrapheap bat can play like an MVP in October. Potential difference making older bats in the last year of their contracts can be acquired straight up for prospects in the 20-30 range of your system. That's where the Brewers should be operating in this deadline season. It could even be a current struggling Brewer who gets hot down the stretch or in the playoffs. Perhaps even more significant is the fact that the available group of bats this deadline aren't of superstar calibur. I wouldn't think of touching anyone in the top 10 of the Brewers system to add to the current group. The time to do that was when the Brewers had more controllable years left with Woodruff and Burnes. Now it's time keep the next wave together while taking some shots at fortifying the current club with prospect capital among those who don't project to be core pieces going forward. Think acquiring the Eduardo Escobars instead of the Manny Machados.
