If Ohtani falls through, the Rockies can send their Top 10 prospects to the Cardinals for Arenado
They may also choose to pay a good portion of his remaining salary
I’d much rather have Eddy Alvarez or Jahmai Jones - maybe even Keston Hiura - as the Brewers DH than Jesse Winker
I truly don’t understand how or why he hasn’t been DFA’d yet - he’s had plenty of opportunities & over half the season to produce … mind-boggling
I much prefer an outside acquisition to any of the three mentioned above but Winker & Rowdy Tellez are on thin ice as far as I’m concerned … I’m ready for change if only for change sake
it is odd that Winker isn’t getting starts against RH pitchers but retains a 26-man roster spot
Based on Keith Law's Top 100 Draft Prospects, Milwaukee has already drafted 5 of those players ...
17 - Wilken
40 - Pratt
49 - Bitonti
60 - Knoth
78 - Boeve
If they sign all of these players, it will be a successful - Grade A - draft!
I read that Woodward has had bone cancer (twice) & then Tommy John

While I sympathize with him - simply can't imagine what he's been through - this seems to be an awkward selection ... especially this high
I would only consider that trade if we could sign Robert to an extension … & even then it might be difficult
I want to see Chourio in Milwaukee for a decade or more - home grown talent signed & developed in our system would be sweet
I still marvel at how Robin Yount only played 64 minor league games before becoming the Brewers starting SS at age 18 (back in 1974) - that is truly amazing!
Burnes looked horrible against San Fran recently
He was throwing batting practice
He gave up four HRs & never made adjustments
His 2023 value is lower than 2022 or 2021
