  1. The Colorado Rockies were one of the first teams to fall victim to the Diamond Sports (Bally Sports) disintegration. Like the situation the Brewers are now facing, the Rockies had to trim down their payroll last season and according to Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post, they're going to cut payroll again this offseason. The Rockies franchise is in a bad state. They've lost over 100 games for two consecutive seasons and haven't have a winning season since 2018. The Rockies don't have many easily-moved large contracts but the front office will likely to try to move at least one of Brendan Rodgers, Cal Quantrill, and Austin Gomber. Their most valuable asset is third baseman Ryan McMahon, who will turn 30 in two months. McMahon perfectly fits the Brewers' needs and team construction: while he's not a phenom with the bat (career 89 wRC+), he is phenomenal with the glove at third base, posting a +60 DRS (Defensive Runs Saved) and a +40 OAA (Outs Above Average) in his career. Given that we're speaking about the Rockies, it's impossible to predict what they plan to do. McMahon is under contract for three more seasons: $12 million in 2025 and $16 million in both 2026 and 2027. View full rumor

  3. Jon Heyman of the New York Post wrote that most baseball people consider the Los Angeles Dodgers the most likely landing spot for shortstop Willy Adames. Andrew Friedman, President of Baseball Operations for the Dodgers, has a long-standing connection to Adames. Friedman was the PoBO of the Tampa Bay Rays in 2014 when the Rays traded for Adames, lifting him out of the Detroit Tigers system. A few months later, Friedman packed his bags and headed to Los Angeles to manage the bottomless wallet of the Dodgers. The Dodgers have been connected in rumors to Adames at nearly every turn since 2022; it has long been believed they are very high on the 29-year-old shortstop. It is rumored that Adames's camp is looking for a deal in the $200 million range.

  5. I'm a firm believer that if you are considering trading a pitcher at some point, trade him today (assuming you can find fair market value for him). The likelihood of a pitcher stumbling in some way is too high to try to maximize return, just tear the band-aid off now and be done with it.* *I'm intentionally ignoring the Josh Hader situation and its blowback in favor of this point
  6. Welcome to the site! The Twins have a near-zero chance of relocation. They have something like a 15-year lease on Target Field and the Pohlads live here. I can't imagine they're interested in the local blowback of selling the franchise just to see it relocated. They'd basically be run out of town.
  7. Yeah, Jake mentions $12m in this article but I'd pay way more for Kim than that. He's still only 28, I think he gets more in the $15-18m AAV range over four-ish years.
  8. This is a chorus Brewers fans are quite familiar with over the past few years: their soon-to-be free agent closer may be traded. In the Brewers' after-season press conference, General Manager Matt Arnold talks briefly about trade rumors surrounding closer Devin Williams. The right-handed reliever is entering his final season of team control in 2025 and the Brewers hold a $10.5 million option they will surely accept. Williams has been almost unbelievably good the past three seasons, posting a 1.66 ERA over 141 innings pitched while striking out over 14 batters per nine innings. To fans, this will surely bring back bad memories of the Josh Hader trade in 2022, which sent the lefty to the San Diego Padres mid-season.

  10. I would have gone with Myers. His season was so bloody impressive.

  12. I think Hoskins is back next season so first base is likely spoken for.
  13. We're not entirely certain yet but it appears you will no longer be blacked out of the Twins or Brewers. The Cubs, Cardinals, and Royals will still likely be blacked out. What happens when the Brewers play the Cardinals? Well...
  14. Anyone else having this problem?
  15. I really liked this piece, it nicely encapsulates how many of us felt immediately in the wake of that loss.
  16. Welcome to Brewer Fanatic!
  17. I was all in favor of trading Williams before last night happened and my opinion certainly hasn't changed. What a depressing way to end the season; now it's time to build anew for 2025.
  18. This felt different. It looked different. That's what made the gut-punch all the harder to take.
  19. I was surprised how lazily Nimmo went after that ball.
