    I wonder if it'd be possible to offer Burnes a crazy extension and see if he's interested. A one year option for 2025. $35m option, something like a $15m buyout as a safety net. Or maybe a $5m buyout with a $5m signing bonus. Really go nuts with thinking outside the box, see if you can get one more year out of him to ease the pain of losing so many people after the 2024 season.

    There were two Chapman threads so I merged them. Naturally, I merged them the wrong direction. Sigh.

    Yeah, there are a half dozen ways to compile these lists. They're a fun read but must always be taken with the caveat "these are my own self-imposed rules I am following, feel free to make your own rules on your own list". Does a player qualify for only one position or multiple? Is peak or career more important? How much does Brewer career vs overall career matter? Lots of different ways to look at these things, all are valid.

    Two game series makes them destined to be mid-week, I think.

    The Brewers visit Target Field on June 12-13 and for the next 48 or so hours, are offering $4 standing room only tickets with no additional fees. I snatched up an SRO ticket for Wednesday June 13 at 12:10pm so if you're going, let me know and we can meet up!

    Dayton Moore was a bad GM at the end but at least he wouldn’t have signed Chapman.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, this is my feeling as well. And teams just aren't going to pay much in prospect capital for a good player who will play two months with them, making it a moot point.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    No pitcher minimum but there is a 13 pitcher maximum.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    It's highly unlikely to happen but Winker should be eligible for the qualifying offer should his bat return to being way above average. That hadn't occurred to me until this moment.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    I just realized that no Brewer second baseman ever accumulated even 20 fWAR while in Milwaukee. Gantner came really close at 19.5.

    Ahead of the new season Brewer Fanatic is looking to publish a new resource on the site: A Fan's Guide to American Family Field. We are looking to provide all the best secrets, deals, hidden gems for people who are attending the ballpark from inside or out of town. I want to crowdsource this a bit and make sure we're not overlooking any goodies. If you have a chance, could you please share some of your personal favorite: Places to eat before the ballpark Things to eat AT the ballpark Places to park, shuttle options, etc. Places to sit in the stands (and favorite values) Bars or other attractions in the stadium Hidden gems (memorabilia, sight-seeing, team shop savings, things to do with kids, etc) I'm hoping I can get some contributions from some of our passionate AmFam diehards in the group. This could be a really nice resource that we offer to Brewers fans, updating it every season. Thanks, all!

    I don't think these two approaches conflict with one another. If you're extending one of the big three, you're extending them for six years, maximum. None of the prospects you listed will earn enough money to meaningfully impact payroll for 4+ years. There's plenty of room to do both and I think they should do both.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    It's true, it's collusion, and it's entirely legal thanks to baseball's anti-trust exemption and the terms that arbitration were agreed upon in... the 60s? 50s? I think 60s, it was pre-free agency.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    That sounds right. He needed to be added to the 40-man in 2018 so they did it immediately following the season for the sake of the Rule 5 draft, which then triggers an option year the following spring.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Good info. I scanned his YoY splits but didn't notice the spike in Ks against LHP. That's definitely a concerning trend.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    Yikes.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    I'm also concerned about how (primarily Stearns) the front office is managing a lot of things (like the fact an extension of any of them last year would have saved mountains, absolute mountains, of cash) but I think people are blowing the $700k out of proportion. 1. $700k is actually a really big gap in arbitration 2. Every arbitration case sets a precedent for all MLB teams; it's literally the job of a front office to not instantly concede to a higher precedent With that said, I still don't like how most of this has been handled, at least how we perceive it from the outside. Hearing Burnes complain about lack of discussion last year was a pretty bad sign. Hearing Adames say the same half a year later certainly doesn't make me feel any better.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, if Anderson maxes out his deal to $5.5m, it will be a very good deal for the Brewers. I still might have preferred Mancini but that's just me. Anderson was a fine pickup.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    I agree with all of this, literally my only complaint about Anderson is his reverse splits. Other than my (still present) desire for the Brewers to acquire another bat that can hit LHP, Anderson checks every box I wanted to see in an acquisition.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, for sure. Injuries are always a factor.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Which is why I shrugged. It's certainly possible. The Brewers have really nice rotation depth but teams are just so uneasy letting go of even bad starters that I think they'll hold on to him for awhile. The thing about pitchers is that once you get to the end of February, one or two of them tends to "come up" with issues.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Unless Contreras completely reverts into a pumpkin offensively, this is an obvious move. Good-hitting catchers almost need to DH regularly just to extract as much value as possible from the player.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, I think it won't be Alexander simply for that reason. Teams are generally loathe to drop rotation depth of any kind heading into Spring Training, even if it's pretty bad rotation depth. But with the acquisition of Miley... *shrugs* It's certainly possible.

    Welcome to Brewer Fanatic!

    It was hard to see where Hiura fit into this roster and then the Brewers went out and signed Brian Anderson. Now I simply don't see a path for Hiura to make the Opening Day roster.
