  1. The fact that twins, one right-handed and the other left-handed and both pitchers, now play for the same team delights me to no end.
  2. Really impressive research done with this piece, kudos to Matt for putting in all time.
  3. I’d take Urias one-for-one over Esco but that’s not the question I’m asking myself. I think “Urias + Escobar + Turang” is a lot better bet than “Urias + Turang” over 162.
  4. There's a lot of chatter around Twitter but not from what most of us would call the most reputable sources. But that doesn't mean it's necessarily untrue. With the addition of Carlos Correa, there isn't really a reason for the Mets to roster Eduardo Escobar other than "Steve Cohen wants all the players." Personally, I struggle to see Steve Cohen taking a step back talent-wise under any circumstances after the offseason the Mets have had but it's also possible Escobar isn't particularly thrilled about being in New York and shoved into a utility role - he's not a great defender anywhere anymore - behind two players on a legitimate Hall of Fame career arc. What are your thoughts? Is an Escobar reunion possible in Milwaukee?

  6. That's certainly possible but it'd be hard to see Myers choose the Reds over the Brewers given the level of competition of each club and the fact it's likely he's flipped to a team he doesn't choose in July. But who knows what drives any individual free agent?
  7. Hmm. I see Wil Myers signed with the Reds for a $7.5m base with incentives. Yet another bat the Brewers could have used... editing the piece to now mention Longoria, one of the only names left that interests me even a little bit.
  8. Any real change will require owners and players to work together and with Manfred at the helm, I don’t see that happening. Owners need to agree to share tv revenue to create a more equitable monetary situation. Then players need to agree to a salary cap and floor based on a percentage of revenue. This will never happen because neither side can get out of their own way when it comes to this stuff.
  9. Owners need 24 votes to pass anything. That doesn’t really change your point, I’m just clarifying the number.
  10. *looks at Pirates and A’s* *sighs* Nope, no requirements of any kind on payroll or spending.
  11. I’d love a trade for Escobar but it’s hard to see Cohen decreasing payroll or trading off a useful asset. He has made it quite clear he wants to win at ANY cost.
  12. Hopefully they'll both be competent against lefties, like Tellez. But I tend to take MiLB splits with a huge grain of salt, especially for lefties. So few left-handers perform decently against LHP, I tend to assume a prospect will be bad against southpaws until they show me they aren't for a few seasons.
  13. I'm pulling hard for a #lolmets season for sure.
  14. I think the Brewers have a shot to retain one of the three but this looks to be a pretty classic case of letting a conservative approach bite one in the ass (hard). Had the Brewers been less risk-averse 12 months ago, the price for any of these three players in question would have been way lower. Like maybe "half the price" lower.
  15. I'd also target Woodruff, as his price should be more reasonable than Burnes and Corbin will fetch more in trade. Agreed on Adames. I really like watching him play but get too much of a Javy Baez vibe from that OBP to want to extend him at his market value.
  16. I'm hoping the Brewers manage to extend one of them and trade the other in an attempt to maintain the competitive window. I don't see another way through it, really, unless they plan to trade all three of Burnes, Adames, and Woodruff in the next 12 months and do a quick rebuild that way.
  17. It's not surprising to see Steamer that bullish on Ashby but it's also a welcome sight. If he takes a step forward, this rotation. Yowza.
  18. I keep forgetting Longoria is even on the market so yeah, he might fall through the cracks and be a nice January signing.
  19. As mentioned in this MLBTR piece, bats have been flying off the free agent market over the past few weeks and now it looks like teams are focusing in on one of the only intriguing bats remaining, utility man Brandon Drury. The 30-year-old can play all over the field but has spent the most time at second and third base. While not an exceptional hitter most years, the journeyman had very nice 2021 (111 OPS+) and 2022 (122 OPS+) seasons. As a right-handed hitter, he could slot into the Brewers' lineup nicely, resting several left-handed hitters throughout the lineup as needed. Drury's splits aren't pronounced (.720 OPS vs righties, .770 OPS vs lefties) but given the current makeup of the Brewers, being able to slot in someone who isn't a black hole against lefties (much less above average, as Drury is) could be a difference maker over 162 games.

  21. I find it really interesting how many two-way players and converted position players are mentioned in this piece.
  22. We're speculating about speculation. This has kinda gone off the rails, everyone. Let's get back to the topic at hand or just move on to another thread.
  23. Ah, that makes way more sense. I guess I saw "Mar" and stopped reading.
  24. That's... a weird decision. I'd much rather be on the Mariners for the next two seasons than the Red Sox.
