I feel terrible. Akil is such a good guy and it's been a few tough seasons since he had his rookie breakout season. Even this year started on the 60 Day IL. He was back. He was playing, and now he's playing really well. Hopefully it's something that just scared him, maybe a shock or something that ran up his leg and he wasn't sure what happened. But that's probably a bit naive. My first thought was the knee just because his lower leg kind of flailed around. It could have been a torn calf, or as others have guessed, a torn Achilles. Hoping for the best!!

Might be a bit late for the Brewers to lock up Turang. That said, now would be the time to do it. Like Hoerner, Turang is in his Year 1 of 4 arbitration seasons. Hoerner made $2.525 million in 2023. Turang is making $4.15 million in 2026. Hoerner's previous extension was three years and $35 million and covered those final three years of arbitration. ($11.5M, $11.5M, $12M). Brewers could/should offer him three years and $41 million ($12M, $14M, $15M). Hoerner's six-year extension is worth $141 million. ($23M, $23M, $22.5M, $22.5M, $22.5M, $22.5M) I think Turang is a little better (IMO) than Hoerner, so he should get a little bit more. So as not to overthink, I'll say six years and $150 million for those six free agent seasons. ($26M, $26M, $25M, $25M, $24M, $24M)* *If you believe that Turang is worth more than Hoerner by more than that $9M difference over six years. You could add another $4-10 million in a signing bonus. But I think that could also be limited somewhat by trying to get Turang to take a bit of a discount to stay in Milwaukee. I'm sure the Brewers would be happy to sign him to a three year, $41 million to cover his arbitration years. Turang would probably be good with that as well since he'd still be a free agent at age 29. Would the Brewers and/or Turang be willing to put the two deals together into one nine-year deal? Combined, it'd be nine years and $191 million. That's just over $20 million annually. I can't imagine the Brewers locking him up through age 35.

And he doesn't put up the numbers that cost a lot of money.

When I did the two-part interview with him after his draft season, you could tell he was going to be special. When I talked to the scout that signed him, Scott Nichols, you could hear and feel the conviction of his thoughts.

#NeverTradePratt #CoopersTown If the Brewers are lucky and Pratt, Made and Pena all pan out, that's a wonderful position to be in. Pratt can move to 3B or 1B. Made or Pena can take the left side of the infield.

There are 6-8 really strong prospects. Recent high draft picks don't look great, but recent well-over-slot lower round picks. And also, what do you do with prospects that were top ten prospects but didn't show a ton in their debuts and/or got hurt and have missed significant time. I'm very curious to see what these rankings look like.
