    Welcome to Brewer Fanatic! Have no fear, we didn't forget Gantner. This article was just highlighting some of the new players added to the Players Project. We already had a page for Gantner you can find here:

    That's my point, if 24 owners agree on terms they can force the remaining six to share more revenue. If baseball is mucking around with trying to get teams like the Twins, Cardinals, Rangers, etc. to share more, they're going about it all backwards. All of those teams are contracting payroll because of the TV situation.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    I agree that it's difficult to untangle but disagree that the ship has sailed. The more stratified the TV situation becomes, the more likely it becomes we will see increased revenue sharing. If 24 owners agree on something, they can do damned near anything they want. And the smaller the high-TV-revenue pool becomes, the more likely it is 24 out of 30 will agree on change.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    This is basically exactly how I feel. Teams get to keep more gate revenue, say 75% home team, 25% road team. But stuff like television revenue is split 50/50. That promotes owners building a product fans want to watch while also closing the gap between teams like the Dodgers and Brewers while not making it NFL-style equitable.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    I'm not really in favor of a hard cap. I think the sport would be better off with two things: 1. Increased revenue sharing. Like, A LOT more revenue sharing. The sport cannot have the Dodgers making $250m from TV alone while their biggest division rival makes about $20m. 2. A salary floor that's reasonably high, like $130m in today's dollars. At that point if you want to tax the absolute **** out of higher-payroll teams, have at it. But I don't see the need for a hard cap at that point. If Steve Cohen wants to pay 150% tax on something, have at it bro.

    I don't have words right now. This sucks. This ******* sucks.

    This is an excellent write-up of the crappy process we call baseball arbitration, Jack.

    Good for her, I'm a fan of Minnaert.

    It's time for us to start posting Aram's videos on Brewers prospects... always a fun time of year!

    The Twins desperately need to shave payroll so they'll be willing to give Paddack away for very little. I think he'd be a good flyer for Milwaukee to take. Also, welcome!
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    I’ll lock it, thanks for heads up.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Based on what has been happening around the league, I'd be shocked if it was anywhere near the amount of their old contract.

    More information about "Wade Miley Wants To Pitch For The Brewers In 2025"
    Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wrote a great piece about Wade Miley and his return from Tommy John surgery. Miley's recent run with the Brewers has been a story of declined options. Upon returning to Milwaukee for the 2023 season, he pitched incredibly well, posting a 3.14 ERA over 120 innings. He declined his 2024 option before returning to the Brewers on a $7 million deal. He only made two starts before suffering an injury in an April 16th game. He later underwent surgery. There are several great quotes from Miley in the article above, I highly suggest reading it. To boil it down, Miley wants to come back and pitch as early as May 2025, just 12-13 months after undergoing surgery. He believes that given his age, pushing the return date forward aggressively is possible due to the fact Miley only wants one or two more years out of his left arm before he retires; long term health isn't a factor. As for where he wants to pitch, he gave this outstanding quote:

    I love this piece so much. Such a fun idea for an article with a fantastic title.

    While I think that has been plenty influential in many ways, I don't think it is here. The Ishbia brothers have been doing interesting stuff since they bought the Suns in 2023. The most impactful thus far has been far more costly than concessions prices: they put a bunch of their games over the air, free to watch. They even had a program to ship fans free antennas to get the games.

    This ownership group is investigating buying the Twins. Let's just say their approach would be a welcome change.

    Bellinger wasn't a great roster fit on the Cubs, for sure. My commentary is more of the Cubs as a whole, not specifically how they managed the Bellinger deal. If they were going to dump Bellinger and turn it around to sign Bregman, that makes a lot of sense given their revenues and ability to play in deeper waters. They just... don't do that. The Cubs shouldn't even hesitate to blow right by the CBT. But, thankfully for the Brewers, they won't do that.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    The Cubs got a lot better by basically swapping Tucker for Bellinger. It's a good thing for the Brewers that the Cubs' PoBO is risk averse and their owner is cheap. There's really no reason for the Cubs not to roster both Bellinger and Tucker, they have the money to do so.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    I agree with this, mostly. But more importantly, the Brewers obviously do not view Black as a viable third baseman.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, this range seems right to me. It really depends on how you view Durbin's pull power despite his size. And how much you believe in the Brewers' ability to coach power. I don't have a lot of faith in either, which puts him toward the bottom of the guys you listed.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    We need to update the prospects list. Where would you put Caleb Durbin on the following list? Not your own personal rankings of him, but where you see him fitting on Brewer Fanatic's list. If you don't see him in the top 20, that matters. Please chime in with "off the list" or something similar. A vote for 21+ lowers his overall ranking in the tally. https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-top-prospect-rankings/

    Welcome to the MKE Tailgate guys! I've been a big fan for years, they'll be posting over here as well in an informal collaboration with Brewer Fanatic. Down the road, we're planning cooperative events and other stuff as a group.

    It hadn't even occurred to me that Cortes could be a QO candidate in 2026 but of course he can.
