    The payroll tool has been updated and is read for you to build your 2024 Brewers roster! This tool works better on desktop and tablet so we recommend waiting until you have some time to sit down on a large screen and fill out your roster and add commentary. https://brewerfanatic.com/payroll-blueprint You can mix and match any players and dollar figures you want. The only thing set in stone is Dead Money, the rest is entirely up to you. The "budget" is set right around expected payroll; this is merely a guideline to gauge whether you're under- or over-spending, there is no penalty for going over the number. After you've built your custom roster, use the Your Comments & Explanation field to explain your decisions and any potential trades you have executed to mold your roster. After you click Submit, your blueprint will appear in the Transaction Rumors & Proposals forum for other members of the community to comment on and discuss your choices. Enjoy, everybody! If you have feedback or questions, ask away.

    I'm pretty okay with this move. I think the Brewers got as much out of Canha as could reasonably be expected. Their track record in replacing that value hasn't been good but the thinking behind it is solid. Hopefully they'll do a better job of replacing 2024 Canha production for less cost or improving 2024 Canha production for the same cost.* *I don't think 2024 Canha will look much like the 2023 Canha we saw in Milwaukee
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    Honestly, I'd put the number even lower than that unless you were so flush at the position that it becomes hard to play them at the more premium position.

    Welcome to Brewer Fanatic!
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    As of right now, almost certainly. I don't think the scales will move on that until we're well into spring training.

    Not necessarily. A new trend in MLB is to sign fringe players to MLB-guaranteed money. That all but guarantees no team will claim them as you do the minor league shuffle several times a season. The risk is much larger if the team has to take on a prorated portion of $700k to a little over a million.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    Interesting they wanted the option year. I don't find Rea coming back surprising but the option makes me wonder if the Brewers see something there they might be able to maximize with more time.* *I'm not saying Rea will suddenly become a #2 starter, only that the Brewers see value there
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    I know the Brewers are desperate for a third baseman but COME ON.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Welcome to Brewer Fanatic! The first base market doesn't look good this offseason - most of the free agents aren't particularly compelling, really. Which is why I'm okay bringing back Santana for another year.

    Welcome to Brewer Fanatic!

    Ah yes, I forgot Canha's option, thank you!

    I'm working on getting this year's payroll tool working - PLEASE DON'T USE IT YET - but would appreciate some feedback on some stuff. https://brewerfanatic.com/payroll-blueprint If you see a blank spot that could be filled or a player that should be moved, please say so Does anyone know a place that has published free agent contract estimates yet? I'm pretty lost on the pitcher side of FAs. Peruse the internal options and let me know if there's a player that belongs in that section. Thanks, everybody!
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    Great write-up, particularly on the names that kinda got lost in the shuffle over a long season. I hadn't really checked in on a bunch of those guys in months. 2024 is going to be a critical season for Areinamo, as I assume he'll be heading to Appleton to start the season.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    The guaranteed length scares me here. If Woodruff was coming back from TJS, sure, let's do that. But I'm scared about a shoulder. If Woodruff comes back throwing 92mph, more than one guaranteed year will really hurt.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    To be clear, I think expansion shuffles the postseason around quite a bit. I'm all in favor of re-thinking the entire postseason and only examined what slight tweaks might look like in a 30-team format.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    A traditional five game series in the WC round is the best solution, I think. But it won’t happen because it basically forces MLB to shorten the regular season. My ideal solution would be to shorten the regular season to 156-158 and extend the WC round to five games with the DS series moving to seven games.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, my thoughts as well, though Counsell would have to be crazy to accept San Diego, given that Preller goes through managers like he's the ghost of George Steinbrenner.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    I also suspect he's only willing to go 2024-2025. But the Brewers may as well try to get an option year in 2026, even though it's unlikely to happen. For the record, I think a 2024-2025 contract for $20m-ish is a good gamble.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, his 2024 contract will be minimal, probably like $2-3m and then more guaranteed money in 2025. If the Brewers can negotiate it, an option for 2026 would be ideal. I’m basically ignoring 2024 because it’s a rehab year. You lock him up so he has facilities to rehabilitate, not any expectation of performance. The Twins have done this a few times, as have other teams. I think it’s a good strategy.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    And the Brewers have granted permission to interview Counsell. AFAIK there is no interview date yet.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    I split this into its own topic because I came here wanting to talk about the interview and didn't see anything about it. This is kind of a no-brainer for both sides. Woody needs a place to rehab, he likes it here, and the Brewers absolutely want a pitcher of his caliber. To me, the only real question is "do you sign him for 2025 or try to go 2025-2026?"
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Love your use of WAR for starters and WPA for relievers here. I often do the same.
