Also worth noting that Wong had a club option for that final season that likely was only accepted so they could trade him. That Wong signing was a certified success.
Probably had more to do with Meeker having options (or being likely to pass through waivers if DFA’d) and the fact the bullpen already has 3 LHP in it.
This is a guy who is averaging 4.6 fWAR/600 PA. When he's healthy he's a legit stud. I think you at least have to call the White Sox and do your due diligence.
I'd rather Fedde than Crochet, but even if I wanted Crochet, the Padres being in on him would be the end of that. Padres are not prospect huggers and I don't want to beat them in a trade offer.
Brewers should advertise that to every RHH power bat they talk to in FA. Hey our left center is one of the most shallow in the MLB. Come boost your power numbers for a season here and get paid.
Someone would need to go on the IL for Ashby to be back in 4 days. I think this leads credence to the theory that C-Rod was pulled early from his last start because they want him fresh for his MLB debut.
What shocked me the most about this was Contreras went from not starting and Sanchez catching to Contreras catching and Sanchez at DH. How did that happen?
Unfortunately they were not able to hold on and did so in classic DSL fashion.
Walk, WP, double, PB, Walk, WP, PB, WP in the inning.
7-6 loss for the DSL Brewers 1 team.
