We'll see. I do think some of the salary dumping we've seen this offseason is part of a strategy to gain more payroll flexibility to go after extensions for those players. Other than Yelich, we have very little in terms of significant long-term payroll commitments. Plus, I think that this FA period has demonstrated that $20 million AAV contracts aren't as onerous of a burden as they used to be given expanding revenues league-wide, even for a small market team such as the Brewers. That doesn't mean we should expect them to extend all three, but it's far from an unreasonable expectation that they'll find a way to sign at least one of them...
-
One can hope given the $20 mil. plus in payroll savings right now and the fact that we have yet to sign a single major league FA... In the end, I do think one will be extended. I actually think it will be Woody due to his age and the increase in the market value of high-end SS this winter. Adames is really good, but I'm not ready to commit $170 mil. plus to him rn.

Rumor: Market "Very Active" For Brandon Drury
Brewcrew82 replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Yeah. Usually when the Brewers make a signing or a trade it comes out of nowhere. And they don't tend to get involved in competitive markets. -
Exactly. The Brewers almost always make a signing later in the offseason, when the market has died down and they're able to find better value (Grandal, Wong, JBJ, McCutchen, etc.). I see no reason to think this offseason will be any different.
-
I honestly wouldn't mind a reunion with Taylor Rogers to help provide some assurance in the bullpen. His peripheral numbers remain quite strong, and he's only 32, compared to Kimbrel or Boxberger who are in their mid 30s.
-
Good article! I honestly can't think of someone more qualified to highlight the Brewers' "overlooked" prospects than you, clancy. Anyways, I also continue hold out hope for Zavier Warren as his hit tool has been a favorite of mine ever since he was drafted. He struggled this year for sure, but his AFL performance hopefully means he's back on track as a multi-positional OBP specialist.
-
No indication that Urias is being moved from 3B, where he's played predominantly for the last two seasons...Plus Urshela's going to make around $10 million in arbitration, which wouldn't make sense given that we traded Wong who was going to make the same amount. Either they'd want to go with the cheaper Turang or a clear upgrade, which Urshela isn't.
-
We already have an Urshela. His name is Luis Urias. Same exact WAR last season and a superior WAR the season before that...
-
He never should've let him get to this season. If only he took the same approach he did with football. And we're supposed to be a blue blood program...

No worries. My question was more directed at the FO than you as I just want to see a clear strategy and some sort of move lol. Unless they want to pay a lot for Varsho, I don't see where they're going here.

I have concerns about the FO's strategy this offseason, but I also realize that it's December 8th and that there's four months until the season starts. Regardless, there is no place for calling someone what the above poster just called me.

If we're giving up Mitchell and Lauer why don't we just give them to the Jays directly for Danny Jansen, right? I don't get it. Though, I would definitely love to have Daulton Varsho on the team to install in RF for the next four years. Maybe even longer, as a Marshfield, WI resident...

There's some good points here, particularly the seeming lack of a concerted offseason strategy. As another poster stated in a different thread, it's been a lot of zigging and zagging by this front office. However, they have still managed to clear about $20 million from last year's payroll, taking into account projected arbitration figures. That's a meaningful amount of wiggle room that they lacked at the beginning of the offseason. They just have to use it. With plenty of free agent and trade options remaining, I'm not concerned that they'll decide to pocket the savings just yet. In addition, one injury-plagued season in one of the most pitcher-friendly parks in the majors doesn't change the fact that Winker is a better hitter than Renfroe. 123 career wRC+ for Winker vs. 109 career wRC+ for Renfroe. Renfroe's all-power, high strikeout/low OBP approach is the exact thing that has plagued this offense over the last couple of years. Compare that to Winker, who walked in the 99th percentile last season with a well above average contact rate...

It's a question. But this FO has earned the benefit of the doubt with their ability to identify pitching talent imo.

Box, sure. But Gott and Suter were literally replacement level pitchers last year....They seem want more quantity than they had last season, which I agree with.

Other than Hader, who had already been traded at the deadline, who left that we'll really be missing? Boxberger, I guess. He was certainly valuable to us. But who else? On the other hand, we've added a number of depth arms, which is what hurt us last season when we were forced to trot out guys like Alexander and Kelley....

Did the Angels trade not happen? See, I can do smirky questions, too.
