Frankly, I'm not all that interested in extending Adames. Maybe it's recency bias but his OBP dropping under .300 scares me a lot. I'm getting Javy Baez vibes, which I really don't like. -
Never trust a Beauchamp. They'll only let you down; we're a bunch of screw-ups.

Which is why I've been ready to move on from Hiura for awhile. I hope the Brewers can get an A ball lottery ticket, move on, and replace his roster spot with someone who complements the lineup much more.

This roster could really use a lefty-killer platoon specialist. Having that available opens a lot of opportunities to stack lefties together while not allowing the opposing a manger to exploit that from the sixth inning onward.

There were rumors swirling that the Brewers might be open to dealing Adames this winter but based on a few things we've heard recently, that's now unlikely. While that's good news for Brewers fans, the reason behind it is possibly even more appealing: apparently, Adames and the Brewers may be discussing an extension. Adames took a step backward offensively in 2022; after posting a 126 and 120 wRC+ in 2020 and 2021, his batting average dropped about 30 points and his wRC+ fell below 110 while his on-base percentage dropped below .300. With batting averages dropping like a stone across MLB the past several seasons, it's hard to get a read on whether Adames' performance drop was a one-year aberration or what to expect going forward.

Renfroe is actually a nice four hitter in today’s game. Decent average, good power. But what has really exposed the Brewer offense is the 2/3 hitters. You have Yelich at leadoff, which is actually pretty nice, but there isn’t even one guy they can slot in with a .270/.350/.450 line that you want manning the second and third slot. Brewer run scoring was solid in 2022 but it could have been very good with better top of the order bats. Not superstars, just a guy like Adames not having a down year.

Renfroe is a short-term cost but the Brewers had very limited flexibility heading into the offseason. Offloading that $11m gives them the ability to shuffle those funds around in the short-term. We'll see if that was the right decision or not but it makes sense from the team perspective. As for trading one pitcher, it really depends on the return. If Arnold subscribes to the "bite of the apple" approach, the 2024-onward Brewers could easily be a better team if one of Burnes/Woodruff is traded while the other is extended. To me, the biggest question mark is pitching development. The Brewers obviously had an amazing run of developing Burnes, Woodruff, Peralta, Hader, Lauer, etc. Can they do it again? If they can, trading a starter today makes a lot of sense and is the Brewer equivalent to what the Tampa Bay Rays do on a near-yearly basis. It's not great from a fan perspective but it's the reality of the game (and at least the Brewers post a respectable payroll YoY, unlike the Rays).

I mean, money. Security. And some guys like staying with the only organization they've known. People have a million reasons to do or not do any single thing. And if they're worried about being traded in three years, demand a no-trade clause. It's usually one of the first concessions a team will make in extension talks.

I think this signifies nothing, except... The Brewers plan to do something significant with money. I doubt that's going to be a big free agent signing but more along the lines of extending Burnes or Woodruff. On top of that, I think they're going to trade the other for a big return. It should be a wild offseason.

Not really, WAR is adjusted for position and includes defense. Renfroe was fourth on the team in offensive WAR by B-Ref. He was behind Adames, Urias, Yelich, and Wong.

He’s a 2-ish win player for $11m. That’s hardly a steal but it’s useful production at a reasonable price.

What makes you think the players received for Hader are junk? Both are good prospects. This trade, maybe not so much. Let's hope the Brewers are seeing something the Angels do not, which is entirely possible given that they're the Angels.

Pretty hard to be excited about this in any way, shape, or form. Renfroe is a very capable bat on a team that badly needed capable bats last offseason.
