Seemed like you meant this offseason, which is why I included the above series of tweets. I think it's clear at this point that all three will be on the roster come opening day. As far as the entirety of the season, I do think all bets are off if we're out of contention for some reason and that they'd be a good bet to be traded at the deadline in that scenario. However, since I, along with most experts, expect us to be in contention throughout the season on the strength of our top-flight pitching, I don't think trading them in-season is especially likely. The FO has seemingly learned its lesson from the Hader fiasco.

As I said, there's a real possibility that we would be able to extend Jansen given that he's from Wisconsin, which would make parting with a prospect worth it imo. If we're going for it this year, then this makes sense.
-
Agreed. Time to pay close attention to the continued development of Ricardo Pepi. He's already showcased what he can do in that amazing run of form last year, and he seems to be snapping out of his long funk in the Eredivisie. So much potential with him.
-
That's fair. I think it would help that he's from Wisconsin and would maybe be more amenable to signing one or two year extension past his current two years of control. We'll see what happens.
-
Gotcha. Though, he did put up a .826 OPS against LHP this season. So, he's not a Keston Hiura with huge reverse splits. I just think he's a sleeper player that will continue to hit at a high level even with increased playing time. I'd be content with Vasquez, too.
-
I don't get Marquette fans. They always come across as a bunch of WI wannabes with a sizable inferiority complex. Like they're incensed they didn't get into the better school. Great game, though, and a huge bounce-back win early in the season after the late-game Wake Forest collapse. Another big game this week with undefeated Maryland coming to town.
-
Can I ask why you would prefer Vasquez over Jansen? Jansen is younger and a better hitter. Just screaming as a potential all-star breakout if given regular playing time...
-
How about this? Yelich LF Frelick CF Jansen C Winker DH Adames SS Tellez 1B Urias 3B Mitchell/Taylor RF Turang 2B
-
I'd add Danny Jansen as a target. Right-handed hitter with an .826 OPS against LHP last year. Has hit RHP very well over his career, too. I appreciate hitters who can hit both. Seeing as he's a Wisconsin native, maybe we could buy out a year or two of his FA as well to help bridge the gap to Quero...I bet he'd take the guaranteed money. Yandy Diaz would also be a great add. I just think catcher is more of a priority at this point imo.
-
Quality really lacking on the Dutch half of the field. Weah and Dest brought their game. Other players, not so much...
-
That's where Daniel Freitag hopefully enters the picture.
-
Exactly. Our offense was actually good enough to go to the playoffs this year. Where we fell short was the marked decline in our run prevention, including on defense. Better health from our starting pitchers and better overall defense, and things are really looking up.
-
Settle down there, guy. I know you feel like a big shot with your 47 whole posts, but if you actually bother to do some reading, you'll notice the word "possibility" in that quote. Nowhere did I flat out say or predict Frelick is GOING to be the Rookie of the Year. I think there's stronger candidates, like Corbin Carroll or Jordan Walker. Merely that it's a realistic possibility that would incentivize the Brewers to have him on the opening day roster, which is far from a stretch considering he's a top 50 prospect in the game and has a highly developed hit tool. And he would only have to finish in the top 3 of the vote...But you keep making crap up and I'm sure that'll get you far here.
-
We've all been screaming about our lack of high-level hitters. Here's the company Winker was in against RHP from 2017-2021...
-
I believe he was referring to the Renfroe savings.

deGrom to Rangers - 5 years, $185 million
Brewcrew82 replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Shock of the offseason so far. Rangers really going for it, and now they have the best pitcher in baseball.... -
"Rose tinted view"??? Literally all of the "neutral" prospect evaluators (BA, MLB Pipeline, etc.) have Chourio as a 60-grade defender (same as Mitchell) and Frelick as a 55-grade defender. I will give you that I think Mitchell is the best of them all at this stage, but the OF defense would still be really good with Mitchell in RF and Frelick in CF. They've proven themselves to be virtually interchangeable in AAA. If you're concerned about Frelick's lack of power, then what about Mitchell? Mitchell's minor league SLG % is more than 50 points lower than Frelick's, and that ain't changing without a complete swing adjustment...
-
Except for the small fact that literally no one has done that...
-
Frelick is a plus defender in CF himself. And Chourio was one of three gold glovers in the entire minors this year for his work in CF. He's currently projected as a 60-grade CF. Mitchell has a cannon for an arm, which is why he would play in RF until Wiemer is called up.

A 32 year old Wong at $10 mil isn't going to get you much more.

Brewers NOT TRADING Burnes, Woodruff, and Adames
Brewcrew82 posted a topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Hopefully he's not pulling a typical "Bob Nightengale", but I'll tentatively trust him here. Let's go!!! -
141 OPS+ in 2021 and 2020 is a heck of a lot of upside with Winker. And still only 29. He's not playing in the field, so the only person affected is Yelich.
-
Literally proposed a Winker for Wong swap when it was initially rumored that the Mariners were interested. Sure, Winker had a down year last season, but he's still only 29, and had an OPS+ of 141 the previous two seasons. He's your regular DH. Toro is the filler in this deal. His numbers look like Arcia's....
