What I wonder about is if the Brewers just go for a rehab project like Sanchez instead of a real solution. And maybe that's fine if they find real solutions at other positions but right now, the market is thinning in a big way for impact players. This offseason is crystalizing in a much more rapid way than it has in the past... half decade? Longer. -
This is really interesting info, thanks. The Twins have actually made an offer to Vazquez but if playing time is a consideration, cross them off the list. I can't see them giving Vazquez 110 games and relegating Jeffers to 50 games. Maybe the Twins try to trade Jeffers but that's also unlikely. I'd chalk the Twins up as one less Vazquez suitor.

Curt Hogg reported that GM Matt Arnold has stated the Brewers want to improve at catcher. Given the status of their catching corps, this seems rather obvious but the interesting tidbit is that Arnold, when questioned, was cagey about whether the Brewers would pursue a free agent catcher - with Vazquez being the best remaining option while other guys like Gary Sanchez also remain available - or whether they'll pursue a trade at the cost of prospects. What makes the most sense to you? Free agency or give up prospects and save some money? View full rumor

I've heard this mentioned by baseball analysts quite a bit lately: "grew up in a northern state, relatively raw baseball skills" and that sort of thing. Is it a new angle? Dunno, maybe. It definitely depends on the player. A lot of these young guys are so high profile that they spend a lot of time with touring teams in warmer climates whenever possible.

Just noticed something cool... Brewer Fanatic is now operating at about the same numbers BrewerFan was in 2019. That's a *huge* step up from the past 2+ years.
-
Oh hey, I had no idea he's Louie's brother. That's cool! I really wish the Brewers weren't in the mix to be picking up Rule 5 guys this offseason but I guess that's the reality of baseball financials.
-
This is my understanding as well. It's pretty complicated but makes some sense to me. The lottery is only 1-6, though teams 7-18 can break into the top six, as the Twins did this year. The one thing I don't fully understand is are the Twins considered a "lottery team" because they broke into the top six this year, despite having the 13th best record? Does this count against one of their three consecutive lottery picks?
-
In the wake of the Hader deal, I suspect they've at least re-evaluated the importance of not pissing off the clubhouse.

Need a gift idea for the Brewer fan in your life?
Brock Beauchamp posted a blog entry in Battle Your Tail Off
Our friends at FOCO are back again with a new collection of bobbleheads, but this time with a few twists. Their brand-new Holiday Bobble Bros collection is in stock and ready to ship ahead of the holidays. Unlike most of FOCO's bobbleheads, these are not limited and retail at a much lower price for just $30. This makes them the perfect stocking stuffer and a great addition to any Brewers fan’s home. The collection features team mascots wearing reindeer themed hats. They are also sporting a scarf with a baseball and bat in hand. The Bernie Brewer version is in a seated position and is wearing his team jersey. If you are familiar with some of FOCO's other bobbleheads, you will quickly notice that these don’t have a base, making these really stand out from the rest of their offering. Like all FOCO bobbleheads, each one is handcrafted and hand-painted so no two are exactly the same. As mentioned before, these are not limited and are in stock ready to ship now. They stand at just 4in tall so they should fit in any spot you’d want to display them. Don’t wait to pick up the Milwaukee Brewers Bobble Bro Mascot Bobblehead for yourself or as gift for the upcoming holidays! Disclaimer: Brewer Fanatic does not earn money from any purchases from FOCO but we do receive gifts, all of which we give away to our users. So please consider making FOCO a gift choice for the Brewers fan in your life! -
In part two of this retrospective of the 1979 Milwaukee Brewers’ season narrated by the legendary Bob Uecker, they discuss the 1979 Brewers' defense, an on-field fight with the Yankees that injured pitcher Mike Caldwell, and the Brewers ultimate fall out of contention with the expectation they could be pennant winners in the near future... which came true three seasons later.

You really don't want Luis Arraez at third base. His arm is not good enough for the hot corner.
-
Oh, I just mean that's a lot of talent moving between two teams. I don't even know how to start unpacking the potential value for each team. It's a lot to sort out.
-
*whistles softly* That'd be a hell of a deal.
-
Struggles breed frustration which breeds discontent. We'll see if going back to a more hitter-friendly park and a clean slate does for Winker. And either way, it's a one-year deal and a contract year for him. If he's going to be on his best behavior and perform at his highest level, now is the time.
-
Not really, though. The Brewers can guarantee Burnes a boatload of money today while otherwise, he risks things going badly over the next 24 months waiting for that hypothetical money. We all love Corbin Burnes but he was bad as recently as 2019. Then there was a shortened 2020 season. It wouldn't be insane for him to take deferred money today as risk mitigation for tomorrow. Some guys bet on themselves and lose. Others take the money today. Either option is fine and I have no idea what Corbin himself is thinking right now.
-
Bumping this because I'm an idiot and accidentally published it retroactively instead of publishing it tomorrow.
-
I fully agree the Twins won't get a top flight starter for Arraez alone. It's going to require someone else in the deal and that player will need to be legitimately promising. And the more I think about it, Kirilloff just isn't a good fit for the Brewers anyway. He's left-handed, plays meh LF, and is really a good first baseman. That's not a profile the Brewers really need right now given their plethora of OF prospects and the fact something will need to be done with Yelich.
-
That's a pretty fair deal and I would snatch that up if I was the Brewers. I think the Twins would be more likely to balk at that because Kirilloff is in the deal. He has had some freak IL stints (his wrist bone was literally too long and had to be shaved down). While he's certainly an unknown quantity - wrist injuries can really be hard to overcome - if you saw this guy hit while he was healthy, you'd badly want him on your team. He's just an all-around incredible bat. Good contact, good average, decent discipline, good power. He has the potential to perennially be one of those .290/.350/.450 guys we just don't see in baseball much anymore.
-
Welcome to the site! The Twins aren't going to have much interest in Lauer. They already have a rotation full of pitchers of his caliber. The Twins are aiming higher than that, they already have the depth.
-
Eh, I don't really have a strong rooting interest in one over the other. I guess I lean Twins a bit but seeing the Brewers win their FIRST World Series would be awesome. And at this point, I'm really just pulling for the Twins to win ONE playoff game. And in deals like this, I try to evaluate the players objectively and find comparable value. Canterino's a fine prospect and all but I think he's more likely to become a good bullpen piece than a good starter.
-
Well played, sir.
-
Wow, okay. I expected Correa to go off the board first.
-
Yeah, I do not understand how BTV is grading out Burnes and Woodruff in comparison to one another.
