Taken from https://apnews.com/article/chourio-brewers-contract-dc78fbd32462a4ae7256454988ee7f5c: -
I agree that they shouldn't rush him if he's clearly not ready. That said, the contract certainly removes service time manipulation as a reason to keep him down, while at the same time increasing the temptation to start him immediately to try to earn the rookie of the year related compensation since he's almost certainly coming up at some point this year now anyways and bringing him up later doesn't add any extra control at this point. How much incentive that is/should be for starting him right away is debatable, but the contract certainly adds reason to move him onto the major league roster sooner than if the contract wasn't given to him.
-
Could also be working something out with escalators. Something starting around $8M but could go up to $12-14M based on games started or innings pitched might be beneficial to both parties. Miley potentially gets more than the $10M he turned down, while the Brewers get a little insurance on an aging pitcher who has had years of only 16, 4, and 8 starts in the past 6 seasons.
-
I'd be very happy to have him back, but I'd be very hesitant to go North of $10M on him. FanGraph's Crowd Sourcing has him getting 1 yr / $8M (https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/free-agent-tracker?&pos=sp), which I would hope would be much closer to what we offer him.

If you'd like a better idea of how this contract probably actually looks, take a look at Luis Robert's contract: https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/chicago-white-sox/luis-robert-22648/ This contract is not going to prohibit them from making any 2 or 3 year deals they could have made otherwise.
-
Ahhh... that would make a lot more sense on that front. But yeah, the Chourio contract still likely doesn't really affect the payroll or any other potential signings this season.
-
We are talking about Matt Olson who signed a 8 year, $168M contract? And the Chourio contract is likely structured in a way that he's basically getting paid what he would have gotten anyways in each of the first 6 years, giving him the contract has virtually no bearing on adding other players the first 6 years.
-
Love it! Hard to go wrong with $80M over 8 years as long as he becomes at least serviceable. Interested in hearing what the options look like. Guessing they're going to be pretty hefty to pick up, but awesome to have the control if he turns into what he could.

Brewers acquire Jake Bauers from NYY
brewerfan82 replied to patrickgpe's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Probably but I still don't think it's an acquisition that prohibits them from getting a better first baseman this offseason, or means they're going to trade an outfielder, or indicates they're going to go cheap the rest of the offseason, -
Brewers acquire Jake Bauers from NYY
brewerfan82 replied to patrickgpe's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I'd be surprised if acquiring a middling guy entering his 1st year of arbitration on November 17th provides any major indication of how this roster is going to be constructed over the next few months. The other potential stuff going on tonight likely will have a much larger impact. And even then, we are waaaaaaay early in the offseason to make any conclusions. -

Well the roster's set! This is always the funnest time of year to be a fan, lol. -
hmmm... my 2050 rendering came out a little different... nice to see they put some money into Helfaer Field as well
-
If Ross is still getting paid by the Cubs, then my vote is to pick him up for free and beat the Cubs next year while they pay for our new manager. Regardless, hopefully we finish ahead of them in the standings next year and today ends up feeling like something somewhere between a nothing burger and a dodged bullet.
-
Well that wasn't expected. Maybe he will spend a year tearing them apart from the inside and then return?? 😬🤞
-
Maybe he's going to manage one of his kids' teams? [half blue]

We can lowball CC!

The Polar Bear is Pete Alonso's nickname and there was some trade speculation involving him at this year's deadline. I was in gest speculating him as compensation for CC ;)

Here comes the polar bear!

I'm really on the fence with how to handle this offseason. I do usually side with getting a haul for your stars before they hit FA (or get injured... what a blow with Woodruff), but I feel like we're in a unique spot where our farm system is looking pretty healthy already and we had a wave of prospects hit the majors last year and another wave coming soon that could help this team be contenders as early as next year already. The hardest thing for us to find moving forward is a front of the rotation headed by a guy like Burnes, so it's tempting to take another swing while we still have the ace. That said, I'll be excited to see them go into the season with Burnes still atop the rotation, but also won't be disappointed if they get a real haul for Burnes either.
-
Yes. You don't have to have the best team to win the World Series and they don't even necessarily need to be better than this year to go further in the playoffs next year. The Arizona Diamondbacks just made their way into the Series with the 18th best offense (97 wRC+ vs. the Brewers' 92), 19th best pitching (4.36 xFIP vs. the Brewers' 4.13) , and 5th best defense (4.5 UZR/150 vs. the Brewers' 7.7).

Can someone please tell me it's April 1st?
-
Fixed!

Ha, well I've been tracking since the 13th for awhile because it's the time that some posters were overreacting to Canha and Santana's slow starts and Candelario's fast start. It demonstrates how poorly projecting the rest of the season is based on a couple of weeks. But your point stands as well ;)
