  1. It's a question every Brewers fan has asked themselves over the past year: Will Corbin Burnes be traded? Should Corbin Burnes be traded? It's a question Burnes has been asking himself, reports MLB.com. And a few days ago when he saw General Manager Matt Arnold, he asked that very question. "He's not trading me", Burnes told Adam McCalvy. And Arnold is focused on adding pieces, not subtracting, as the front office did last year with the controversial Josh Hader trade. It makes sense, given that the Brewers are in first place in the National League Central and if they want to make an October push, it's hard to see that happening without Corbin Burnes fronting their rotation.
  2. Honestly, I think the leader in my mind is the Padres because they're 100% certifiably insane. Second are the Dodgers, probably, who aren't nearly as insane, just wealthy.
  3. It felt almost inevitable but it may finally be happening. The Angels, fringe contenders for an American League Wild Card berth who saw Mike Trout go down with an injury a couple of weeks ago, are now reportedly considering trading Shohei "The Best Baseball Player on the Planet" Ohtani. This shouldn't be surprising, as the Angels' postseason hopes largely rode on the health of Ohtani and Trout as a duo. And the Angels will be loathe to let Ohtani walk into free agency without getting something in return... or at least that should be their mindset right now. It's unlikely the Brewers will enter this mix, as they likely do not have the intestinal fortitude to pay the price of acquiring a couple of months of Shohei Ohtani. But merely putting Ohtani on the market up-ends it like no other player. This will have far-reaching ramifications across the trade market should Shohei end up being traded. It's worth keeping an eye on Ohtani rumors even if they don't directly involve the Milwaukee Brewers View full rumor

  5. This is an offseason forum and I simply didn't have the time to make it work last offseason. I'll have another go at it this offseason and if no one is interested, that's fine, we'll shut it down.
  6. Glad to have you! If you're into draft stuff, be sure to check out our draft tracker and tomorrow morning, @Smichaelis9 is going to run through an analysis of every pick in the draft (two part series). It's *really* good stuff.
  7. Thanks to everyone for a successful MLB Draft! We had 1,800+ users a day for eight days straight!

  8. As players sign, please list them here! It really helps me keep track of which players to promote and make sure the tracker stays updated.
  9. Was this part of his opt-in with the Cardinals? Or did he approve the trade leaving Colorado?
  10. Yeah, that's kinda where I think I am as well. Though trading Arenado means they will be less of a thread short-term but more of a threat long-term. Which is better?
  11. Oh no, I don't think he has a shot at coming to Milwaukee, it's more of an interesting thing to note about what the Cardinals might do at the deadline.
  12. They almost did but MLB and the MLBPA couldn't agree on terms for an international draft.
  13. To be clear, I don't have anything about Nolan Arenado, he seems like a perfectly reasonable chap who was kinda done dirty by the Colorado Rockies (though being forcibly booted out of that organization is something of a blessing). Jon Heyman asked him a few questions the other day and Arenado says he isn't expecting a trade but wouldn't be surprised by one, either. Things are bleak in St Louis. The Cardinals aren't used to losing like this and it appears no one really knows how to handle their current struggles. Things were obviously very wrong when Marmol heaved Willson Contreras under the bus and while the Cards have put together a couple of small winning streaks, they've gone right back to losing again afterward. Truth be told, I hadn't even considered an Arenado trade. While he's aging toward his mid-30s, he's still very productive with the bat and his contract is quite reasonable through 2027, given that the Rockies are on the hook for $5 million per year for the next three years. It's quite obvious the Cardinals will be selling but to what extent?

  15. Agreed in that I've never been very high on Anderson, either. I'm also skeptical of his player type, who rarely seems to age well. But he's almost surely still better than he has been in 2023.
  16. I can't stand Lance Lynn so I'm happy to see the Brewers pass on him. I'm not sure where Anderson fits on this roster, though if they're confident about a bounceback, he's an interesting option.
  17. MLBTR has a nice round-up of White Sox players potentially on the block this trade deadline. Jon Heyman reports that the White Sox are unlikely to move on from their big four controllable players: Luis Robert Jr, Eloy Jimenez, Dylan Cease, or Andrew Vaughn. It's my opinion those players are likely out of the price range of the Brewers anyway so I'm not sure that's a big loss for Milwaukee. Where it gets interesting is in the Southsiders' range of expiring or near-expiring contracts. Those players include Lance Lynn, Tim Anderson, Lucas Giolito, and more relievers than you can shake a stick at. If Milwaukee doesn't bite on some of these names, it's very likely the Reds front office will given the number of pitchers the White Sox can offer and Cincinnati's pressing need for pitching.

  19. What are you all thinking of our draft coverage so far this year? Any comments on the tracker or things that could be improved?
  20. Heheh, popped in to check up on the BF twitter account and saw this:
  21. Here's a rundown on the top names still on the board today. https://www.mlb.com/news/2023-mlb-draft-day-2-overview-and-schedule
  22. When looking back at past drafts, day two is often what makes a good draft turn great. It will be interesting to see what strategy the Brewers employ today.
  23. We had +50% more users drop by on draft day than we did in 2022! Thank you all!
