    How about a trade for a closer/late reliever. I have a lot of faith that Uribe and Megill will get it together but I would consider trading for Aroldis Chapman. He has been dominant and probably wouldn't cost a huge amount (it would take a strong offer). Having Mis and Harrison give the ball over to Chapman, Ashby, Megill, and Uribe would be amazing.

    I don't think the Red Sox will consider trading with us again while the current gm is there. If we take advantage of them again there might be a full on mutiny.

    We gave up LaPorta, Brantley, and 2 lower level prospects for Sabathia. Laporta was a top 50 prospect probably top 25. Brantley was top 10 in the system but hitting .319 in AA at 21 so he was likely a borderline top 100. My guess is that Skubal will cost more than CC so my guesstimate would be Pena, Fischer, and any 2 pitching prospects not named Henderson. I would love to go for it but that seems to rich for my blood. I would consider trading a similar package for Hunter Brown knowing we would get 1.5 seasons and then re-coup some of the prospect value back by trading him with 1 year of control left.

    What about going after a pitcher? Misi, Harrison, and Henderson looked like the start of a playoff rotation. Sproat could get there or maybe Woody gets right. After going against those Dodger pitchers last year I would prefer a high end starter to Abrams. Hunter Brown would be a sweet target if the price isn't to crazy.

    I just dont see a team of Brown, Rollins, Turner, and Bobby really being competitive. I am sure we could give it a year and still trade Brown later.

    I like the Brown and picks proposal best if we can than flip Brown. I wouldnt mind Franz Wagner as a centerpiece in a Giannis deal however I dont think the Magic have enough to add to that to make it work. I also like a deal with the Heat that could involve some combination of Ware, Herro, Jacques, Wiggins, and Jovic with picks. I am also really routing for Wemby to destroy the Thunder the rest of the series. There could be an interesting trade with the Thunder if Wemby wrecks them and they need someone to matchup with him (Hartenstein FA). Jaylin Williams, Ajay Mitchell, and picks???

    HS arms worry me but a guy like Bumila would be really hard to pass up. He does sound like Misi but bigger with a previous arm injury.

    Could JP Crawford be an option? The M's have Colt Emerson and Cole Young as long term SS options and a whole at 3B. The M's are 3 games under .500 and I wouldn't expect them to fall out of contention or sell. However maybe we could piece together a 3 team deal to get them a 3B and we get Crawford. He is hitting .210/.358/.364 with a 111 ops+, he is at least metrically getting poor grades as a defender this year but has been a solid defender at SS his entire year. It would be a cheaper way to get a solid upgrade. We get JP Crawford, Mariners get Brett Baty, Mets get Brock Burke and a pitching prospect from the M's

    Abrams would be a no for me, he is a bad SS and is hitting very well but way better than carerer norms andwould be a candidate to struggle at some point this year. Also he will have 2 years of control that will get expensive quick and I would suspect it would take Pena and 2 of our best pitching prospect (other than Henderson) bare minimum to get him. Buxton is great and would fit extremely well but that price is still probably weak in my estimation especially when there will be a dozen teams going after him if made available. I don't have a problem going all in but the prices will be steep. I think in all likelihood we probably add our normal reliever and maybe a depth piece somewhere else. Our farm is so strong that I wouldn't go nuts to deplete it. If we could get one big bat I think I would be over the moon. With Bauers hitting so well I kind of wonder if maybe we explore him playing LF on a closer to daily basis, that would be one way of strengthening the lineup. I would expect Jett and/or Pratt to help 3B/SS as well.

    I feel like there were plenty of posts about try to get Preister to sign a Freddy/Ashby extension but not much about signing him to big free agent year at 20+ million. His strikeout rates weren't good enough that anyone was willing to go big for him. I think in general it seems like the front office strategy is not to pay pitchers long term. I don't mind that one bit especially given how important every dollar is. Just think about what we could do at the trade deadline if we weren't paying Woody this year.

    Minnesota gets Giannis and Caris Levert Detriot gets Jrue Holiday and Julius Randle Portland get Jaden McDaniels and Duncan Robinson We get Isiah Stewart, Ron Holland, Scoot Henderson, Donte Divencenzo, 2026 Minny 1st #28, 2028 and 2032 Minny, Pistons 1st's 27 and 29, our 2029 own back from Portland and put protections on both swaps we gave top Portland say top 8 protected. We get 2 upside young players that haven't been great but need some run way and a decent vet (Stewart, I think Divencenzo is hurt all year), 5 or 6 picks including righting some of our Dam picks. Detriot gets a 2nd scorer for no major parts. Portland gets a big upgrade in McDaniels, out of Jrue's bad deal, and a Robinsons shooting. I am not a huge fan of this to be honest, Scoot and Holland still could be good players but aren't guys I would build around. There are a lot of picks but none are great except getting our Portland picks back. To be honest, I am not sure Jaden McDaniels is the guy to get them back as proposed. My guess is that a Minnesota deal would need to look like something similar to this. B-

    Our big league pitching development has been so good, I don't know how teams have poached Hook but am glad we have him.
  13. jay87shot
    Payne's power has been a revelation, the coach in me wants to say that if they can fix his base and get balance through his feet there should be even more power in the bat. However with his youth and current success I would be worried about changing to much. As of now he is on pace for close to a 30/30 season at 19 which is crazy. Any word on a possible Pena eta. I know he is cleared and we expect him at some point this week?
  14. jay87shot
    Payne isn't 20 until August 14th, his extra youth was a big reason into drafting him. Our minors league offense really seems to be clicking right now. The pitching might be the exact opposite but we can hit. Even Wilson is starting to get it going.

    I was reading and took a look at 2 young HS prospects who just reclassified and will be extremely young 17 year olds. Jared Grindlinger P/OF His scouting report looks like he will be an easy choice to be a P, ranked #49 by mlb.com but 12 by espn. A 6"3" lefty up to 95 sitting 90-93 turned 17 in April with solid projectable secondary pitches. Rocco Maniscalco SS He seems like a Brewers type of prospect if I have ever read a scouting report. He just turned 17 on May 1st. His dad played in the minor and coached his travel ball. At 6'2" there is a frame to add power but for now he grades very high with his arm and fielding. The Brice Turang vibes are undeniable and I am pretty sure he will be the youngest (or close to it) player in the draft. #72 mlb and #56 espn

    I think bringing up Jett wouldn't mean one of those guys needs to get sent down. Jett can play IF and OF so Perkins could go down. Jett could be slowly easied into everyday work at SS or 3B and mixed into the OF to keep his playing time up the 1st couple weeks. I don't remember where the super 2 general date falls (I know it changes year to year) but if that is within the next month or so it might be smart to be patient.

    Can we agree as Packers/Wisconsin sports fans to come up with a better chant then the Chicago "F@#* the Packers" chant. They started it at various points during the Brewers game ,it just seems so white trashy and collegey for a pro-sports chant it probably only gets super drunk Packers fans (probably alot) on tilt. Can we come up with higher level chants that actually have some intelligence to them. Chant Ideas "40 years" last time the Bears were good Chant random Bears QB when Caleb Williams makes a bad throw ala "Rex Grossman" or "Mitch Trubiski" "Indiana" (maybe not real smart but would piss Chicagoians off) Thoughts

    Agreed, he has 15 HR in 40 games 260/319/580 for 146 ops+, even if you assume he misses 20-30 games he is going to hit 30 HR maybe 40. His contract at 16 million a year is a steal even if you assume he only play 120-130 games. The Mets are paying Bichette like 50 million this year and Buxton is/was better than him the past couple years. He was worth 8.5 WAR the past 2 year in 228 games and is on pace for around 6 this year. With 2+ years left he probably has like a 10-12 WAR projection, with his contract he probably has around a +50 million dollar value for trades. That type of value should get 2 top 100 prospects and a decent 3rd piece (maybe 2 decent extra peices if enough teams are interested). Is there reason to be concerned with injuries, for sure, but if he is healthy at the deadline he will have a ton of teams interested and a good value.
  19. jay87shot
    I think it would be a great year to go get a big bat maybe an OF masher. As of now Buxton would be the only potential option unless the Angels eat like 25 million a year for Trout. Can we think of any top tier bats who could conceivably be traded that would push us to that next level? We've mentioned Pena, Abrams, and Buxton enough.
  20. jay87shot
    Whoops the website I looked must not have updated. The do have there own picks from 28' on but that does complicate that move.
  21. jay87shot
    I didn't watch the game but why was Woodford in for the 8th. With Patrick saving the bullpen Saturday I feel like there should have been better options. Even Drohan has proven to be a better option than Woodford in a 4-3 game.
  22. jay87shot
    Wilson had all but 2 players in the lineup over .200 batting average, that is a huge step up I think they had a game last week where only 1 player had a batting average over the Mendoza line. Hopefully Ebel is putting things together with the other young guys in the ACL they will really give a boost to the lower levels. That outing by Hardin is also really refreshing, the top pitchers in the org. seem close but just can't get right. Hopefully that is a start because Hardin's stuff has looked really good.
  23. jay87shot
    What about Utah? They have young players, Laurie, and future picks. Them getting Jaren Jackson points to an all in. Obviously they would need Giannis to want to sign there which would be iffy. Laurie, Filipowski, Collier, 2027 1st's better of Utah's or Lakers (top 4 protected), 2031 Suns unprotected 1st. Trade Markenen to Detriot for Duncan, Robinson, I Stewart, Ron Holland, 3 1st 26,27, 28 (try for a 4th or maybe a couple 2nds) That would be 5 potential 1sts, 3 nice young guys and 2 vets we could still flip or keep and trade Turner.
  24. jay87shot
    Since Jett is more versatile I'd go Jett, Rengifo and Ortiz have been a little better so I doubt the organization would just ditch them. When is the usually super 2 cut off that could possibly play into Williams call up? This is around the time we agreed Misi was ready but the team waited to gain super 2.
  25. jay87shot
    Of the teams mostly likely to sell I think the Angels and Rockies fit that description at this point. The Giants, Mets, Astros, Tigers, Toronto, Baltimore, Royals, and Red Sox have the talent to turn things around but it is looking like at least a couple of those teams are going to have bad years. I would put the Twins, Nats, White Sox, and Marlins as teams that are slightly over achieving and by the deadline there is a good chance they will sell. The Rockies don't have much but I could see a couple pieces on the Angels being interesting Jose Soriano's price is probably too high at the moment, Zach Neto would be awesome but with our minor league guys wouldn't make much sense, Oswald Cabrera is having a nice year but isn't reliable based on his past. I do think Reid Detmers could be a Brewers style target. He has a 4.38 ERA but his FIP is 3.29 and the stuff resembles Harrison to a degree. If we need a starter he makes sense however if he could get like 2 more mph by being a 2/3 inning reliever I think he could be way more effective. He is pretty cheap and has 2 more years of control.
