"I don't know...maybe #5 is too high for Yophery. I mean, what do I know, really?"

"What is higher than #1 and can I vote again?"
I didn't expect a deep playoff run this season. I'm glad they appear to be going in a rebuild direction. This team is stacked with young guys you can imagine being part of the next great Brewers era. I'd like to enjoy this season without the cloud of soon to be FA's hanging over it.
Now deal Adames and Devin, please.
In the minor leagues, Joey Ortiz hit the ball 114.9 mph in 2023, something only 30 major leaguers did in the bigs this past season, and he did it with a better-than-average strikeout rate and good defense. He could end up playing third or second for the Brewers this year, or even be in the mix for shortstop with Bryce Turang if Milwaukee continues to reboot and sends Willy Adames somewhere (Los Angeles?).

I'm surprised at the negative reaction to the deal here. Burnes hasn't been CY BURNES for a while and he's only got one year left on his contract.
I think the Brewers did really well.
This return paves the way for Adames to get moved. Ortiz is a plus-plus defender with nothing left to prove in AAA.
Worry is Hall is a reliever but, like Miso, still could be a starter if the command comes around. But even if he's a lefty reliever he'll be a great addition.
