  1. I suspected that might be the case. Many users don't have the source option. I'll have to investigate BlueSky a little more and see if they have expanded embed options we can integrate.
  2. Because people seem to be transitioning away from X/Twitter, at least in some capacity, I was asked to expand the default embed options for other social media sites. The following sites will now embed natively on the site just as Twitter has since forever. 1. Instagram 2. Facebook 3. TikTok 4. BlueSky 5. Threads 6. Twitter/X
  3. Will Sammon and Katie Woo of The Athletic reported in a recent piece that Willy Adames has stated he's willing to take less money to stay a Milwaukee Brewer. Let that sink in for a moment. Take a deep breath. While it's quite rare for a player to come out and say this publicly, Adames isn't your run-of-the-mill player. While his sentiment is surely true - he wants to stay a Brewer - he's still going to be want to be paid. The full quote: MLB Trade Rumors projects Adames to receive six years, $160 million in free agency this winter so even accepting less money means a deal for 5+ seasons and well into nine figures. With the Brewers' television situation in flux, it's uncertain whether the team has much (if any) money to spend in free agency and it has been rumored they could be more active in the trade market than free agency. Either way, it's nice to feel loved. No matter where Adames lands, we all wish him the best.* *the Cubs aren't in the market for a shortstop so don't come at me

  5. I'd prefer he didn't remain with the team in 2025 but I feel there's still a decent chance the Brewers get a bounceback out of Rhys, making the $14m difference a decent value. Not the end of the world either way, IMO.
  6. MLB Trade Rumors released their top 35 trade candidates for the 2024-2025 offseason. Unsurprisingly, the budget-conscious Brewers had some names on the list. Obviously, Devin Williams is widely rumored to be on the block; even the front office is keeping mum on the subject. A less obvious candidate to trade is Aaron Civale. Trading a recent acquisition (Civale was a deadline trade with the Rays) would be the most Brewers-y move Milwaukee could make. After struggling for half a season in Tampa, the Brewers took on Civale and coaxed him to a 119 ERA+ over 14 starts down the stretch. One has to believe the Brewers will demand value in return for the right-hander. He is expected to make around $8 million in arbitration this season, which is a good value if he's even a league-average pitcher, much less the solid #2/3 he was down the stretch in 2024.

  8. Welcome to the site! I think the point is that while Hall performed well after returning from the IL, he still pitched only 43 innings. If his fastball has lost some of its formerly-potent characteristics, that's more telling than 30-ish innings of pitching.
  9. Like I said in the piece, it's impossible to predict what the Rockies will do. Trading McMahon is an easy choice given the state of the franchise, which means they probably won't do it.
  10. Finally someone brings it up. Coors is a pretty significant detriment to hitters because they play half their games where pitches move differently. The “Coors hangover” is real.
  11. Welcome to Brewer Fanatic!
  12. 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

  14. 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.

  16. 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
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.

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