    Glasnow is going to cost more than Burnes next year. He's a very real injury risk and the Brewers would have zero chance to extend him considering he would start at over $25M. No thanks. The Brewers could do much, much better just trading Burnes, plus save the additional money it would cost to pay Glasnow. Trade Burnes for Pepiot, Hurt, lower level prospect.

    Please remember the draft pick is not automatic. The Brewers have to make a qualifing offer which is probably going to be over $21M after next year. Burnes and Woody would turn it down, but would the Brewers want to keep Adames for 21-22 million dollars? Trading Adames seems like the best option even if the return isn't great. I still think Milwaukee could get a pretty nice return for Burnes in the off season. It would have to be to a big money team that can afford to re-sign him, but there are options.

    Dorrian is a name you never hear, but he may be worth a look. Gasser is a lefty for the pen if nothing else. My prediction is Gasser and they bring back Toro (Toro goes down when Rowdy is ready).

    Just say NO to both Melendez and Blackburn. Melendez is a .217 hitter and whiffs at a 30% rate. I don't know where his solid approach is, but he's not worth a spot on the roster. Blackburn is terrible. His last 5 games: 23 IPs/32 hits/16 ERs/12 BBs -11 HBP. He's much closer to a trip to AAA or DFA'd than being worth trading for.

    It would cost the Brewers approx. $9.5M for the remainder of this year. Milwaukee would look to trade him in the off season or be on the hook for probably about $26M next year. That's money that can be better spent trying to extend Woodruff or Adames or going towards a FA next year.

    Jimenez is due almost $17M (w/buyout) next year. He's would be the Brewers second highest paid player. He's not close to worth it.

    I can't see any way they trade Chourio for 1.4 years of Alonso. Plus Alonso will be making near $18M next year.

    Brewers ranking (WAR) 1B / 27th --- 2B / 22nd --- 3B / 23rd --- SS / 19 --- DH / Last --- RF / 27th

    It looks like clancy is assuming the Brewers are going to just give up on 2023 and beyond. I don't believe the Brewers can take the huge risk of far away propsects for their biggest trade chip in many years and still remain competitive. They are very thin in starting pitching, especially with Ashby out and re-signing Woodruff very questionable. Giving Burnes away and receiving no MLB ready pitching makes this year's team and 2024 considerably worse.

    Frelick's scouting report has his speed at 70 and arm at 50, plenty good enough for CF or RF. Winker is a butcher in the OF. Having him as a 4th OF is playing with fire, especially if Mitchell (I assume you have him as the CF) or Taylor (RF) are dinged up. Anderson plays 3B most of the time with Brosseau playing 1B against lefties. I hope Frelick, Mitchell, Taylor, Yelich are the opening day OFs. Brosseau, Toro, Caratini as the bench along with one of the OFs. Winker the DH.
  11. wntrtxn21
    I am trying to understand your math. Mitchell/Taylor/Frelick are making the minimum (I think it's $711k) which equals $2.13M. Winker is $8.25M and Yelich $22M. That's about $32.5M. The estimates that I have seen for Woody ($11.25)/Burnes ($12)/Adames ($9.25) equal about $32.5M also. On the high side that's $65M. That would leave (assuming $120M is the is correct) $55M for 18 players or about $3.1M per guy. I'm pretty sure Contreras is at the minimum and if Turang/Strzelecki/Cousins make the team (which looks highly probable) they are at the minimum too. I think there would still be room to add a reasonable 3B if one comes available and a little help in the pen.
  12. wntrtxn21
    So when would Mitchell and Wiemer get to the big leagues if Frelick does well? Next year you wouldn't want to start a rookie in RF because the CF only had a year's experience and Turang might be starting somewhere. The following year you probably have Chuirio in the mix too. I believe they could easily start 2 rookies in the OF becasue they have Taylor as a safety net. If they both fail, there is always outfielders available plus one of the three will still be in AAA.

    I think you're right about Heim, the Rangers seem to like him. I wonder about Huff from the Rangers. Younger guy with lots of control. Looks to be a MLB average or slightly above average catcher. Garver is going to be 32 and hit (.207/.298) last year. He is in the final year of his contract and going to make approx. $4.5M.
  14. wntrtxn21
    I don't see Sanchez in any way. 2020; .147/.253/.618 OPS -- 2021: .204/.307/.730 OPS -- 2022: .205/.282/.659. He made $9M last year. Aren't those numbers very similiar to the reason they dumped Narvaez?
  15. wntrtxn21
    Renfroe last year made $7.6M so if they keep the payroll the same, that's what they have to work with. They traded him so they wouldn't have to pay the approx. $11.5M.

    I don't see any way the Brewers can extend Burnes. He's going to be way out of their price range, especially when you look at what of the FAs have been getting this year so far. I think of the two, if they are looking to extend someone, it's Woodruff. He gets maybe 2/3 or less of what Burnes will command. As far as trading Woodruff, I think your trade might be viable if the Brewers were completely tanking, but even then I don't see the value. Mauricio is a big swing, low OBP, low average shortstop. He's played only 3 games at 3rd and was so bad the Mets gave up on the idea. Allan is 18 and no help for years, if ever. Based on what he's done, Butto has a ceiling of #5/long man. Diaz too is just starting his career and really struggled at A level. He is also no help for years, if ever. Vientos is a start, but he would get a look at 3B first.

    It's hard to believe Kyle is a Brewers' fan. He has no clue about small market teams in MLB, especially Milwaukee. He must be confusing the Brewes with the cubs, Dodgers, or Astros. If Turner got the $35M contract, that would mean he and Yelich by themselves would be 45-50% of the Brewers entire payroll. It would make absolutely no sense.

    I think it's just a matter of semantics, your definition of tank job. No matter what it would be a very bad team in 2023 and probably 2024. IMO 100 losses would be very possible depending on how the rest of the Central improved. Attendance would drop like a rock. I can't imagine MA would want to risk putting that bad a team on the field.
  20. wntrtxn21
    This would be a tank job unlike any other. Buehler had TJ surgery in late August and won't pitch until late 2023 if at all. The team would struggle to stay under triple digit losses and maybe set a team record for losses. I can't imagine MA wanting to see attendance drop off to next to nothing.

    I don't think Stearns is trading one of his best hitters in Renfroe. I do believe Wong is either re-signed and traded or just let go. I hope Stearns can bring in somebody to replace Rogers, but with so many other holes to fill, I don't see him paying $8M. The pen was horrible after the trading deadline, so I guess it's a possibility unless they pickup somebody in a trade. Right now as I see it: Williams-Bush-Cousins-Stzrelecki-Suter-Milner-Houser-New Addition (hope and a prayer).

    I see Caratini getting about $3M. Tellez more than doubles his salary to $4M. Wong is gone, either threw a sign and trade or just let go. Turang ($710K) to 2B unless Stearns can do a better job and get a 3B. Then Urias at 2B, Turang as super utility (Peterson and wong nor re-signed). Urias $4.5M. Adames $8M. That's $20.2M or let's say $24M on the hgh side.
