Good to know; thank you for that.

Jett is the only lock. In the past many fans' picks are simply passed over completely by the Brewers and every other team and re-signed back into the system. Stiven Cruz and Cameron Wagoner could be White Sox or Marlins so they need to be pushed to see if this year's stats are real. Maybe Kuehner as he's a lefty so someone could take a Conner Thomas-like flyer on him but who knows. I will be very happy to see Adams, Boeve, and Wilken re-sign and see if they can fight off Burke, Fischer, and any 2026 draftee. If Tyler Black has no trade value then why would Wilken?

If thats not you, then your idea is on r/brewers from another...nevermind.

Brave_salary_9060??

What was Koenig's highest?

Bukauskas-ian indeed

Greg Jones still on the 40? If so...more likely to go as not with team.

Arnold and Murphy are ready to have a lot of players invigorate this lineup...but not really through trades. Most deadline buyers would turnover around 15% of the roster and I am sure that Arnold and Murphy are ready to do the same...internally. Lockridge returns and platoons with Sal...BP sent to AAA Woo returns and moves Sproat to long relief...Woodford cut CPratt elevated to 26man roster...Rengifo traded/waived and Ortiz and Bunty platoon at 3B. Logan returns, stays healthy and impresses the rest of the year cementing his rotation slot. Koenig returns and sends DL Hall and his walks to AAA Greg Jones, ABaddoo, and/or Matos can be cut if there is a Daniel Norris-esque addition to the 40.

So much fun info to take in here. AVaughn almost has to be on his way out; 10mil is a lot to onboard for what, as of now, seems to be a platoon player at Jake's more natural position. Pratt and Jett may be up soon to take some pressure to fill a void on the left side. The new CBA may mean that Milwaukee finds money to reinvest in vets/pay Made to reach the salary floor. Cameron Wagoner and Stiven Cruz have been playing well enough to add to the 40 next year, but not exciting enough to trade away for proper value; relievers will have to be moved to make way. It has been noted on podcasts that Matt Arnold does not really trade away top prospects...so the wheeling and dealing from the roster has to come from lower prospects or flagging vets. Zerpa is to the 60-day IL soon to free up a roster spot. Trading for Peralta to return would be a great dig at Stearns and a marketing boom for a team that usually trades away heroes. Could be out: AVaughn, Yoho, DL Hall, comp picks (if any), Gasser, JD Thompson, LAdams, Wilken, Carlos Rodriguez are all options. I like it that Reid Detmers makes sense here...LOTS to like. Lower FIP than Soriano and has a 1.143 WHIP and a SO/9 over 10. As noted above, he is not an expiring contract. LAA has no top 30 prospects at 3b (aside from an 18 year old c/3b) and Moncada has not been what they wanted there. Any collection of Wilken and a lefty or two to get it done...but bidding may mean a much bigger package to be sent away. Vaughn could be included to platoon at 1st or take over for Solar at DH. (I am not focusing on exact value of trades, just throwing out players that may fill the roster holes either way) My choice is...Aroldis Chapman...pushes pen leverage down a player and can keep Ashby at the multi-inning lefty role. Uribe and Megill plus Chapman means a non Miz/KHarrison playoff starter needs only go a few innings to get to Patrick or Ashby before the 7th, 8th, 9th innings are gassed out. A collection to BOS including Yoho and Adams might win the bidding war. What will really happen is...a very Brewers trade that no one will like...a 40 man pitcher for an outfielder that does one thing kinda well and is on an expiring contract. Lane Thomas can hit lefties and play all 3 positions. It is going to happen and I am sorry. He is the Daniel Norris or Trevor Rosenthal of field players and I just cannot see us not getting Lockridge back and picking up a utility OF to replace Perkins and it will only cost a McGee or Woodford and possibly an A ball lottery ticket to make room for Wagoner and/or SCruz on next year's 40 man roster.

Oh I am aware...I don't like looking at 3-4 positions being a black hole.

Go look at his splits versus right-handed pitching.

I would not mind that at all. Take some pressure off Ashby and removes DL Hall from walking people in the playoffs Drohan stays in long relief. 7th,8th,9th with Chapman, AUribe, Megill would be nice.

I thought of adding a KRod type player at the deadline to move everyone in the bullpen down a step and that might add the vet presence that Abner may need.

The draft is one aspect that I was overlooking and I remember that that comes into deadline trades as well (drafting over a position means that we could be more willing to trade a player from that new position of strength). Thank you.

I was wondering if the Timber Rattler players who are doing well were being held in high A because once they get promoted no ones resdy to fill their roster spot on Wisconsin. To what extent does this go into timing of a promotion? I know Big League teams like to promote players into a homestead rather than on the road... so there are some outside factors that go into promotions. Jett may be being held back because they want to avoid Super 2 designation, but he also might be being held back because his split vs RHP is sub-optimal.
