Judging by the term and the $ amount I have to imagine this is some weirdly structured deal to keep the cap and luxury tax down over the next few years. More shenanigans from the Dodgers

I think many have their expectations way too high for Chourio in 2024. He has an incredibly high ceiling, but he wasn't special (relative to the rest of the league) in AA last year outside of 1 month where they switched from tacky balls to normal baseballs. Monthly wRC+ in AA April - 85 wRC+ May - 96 wRC+ June - 91 wRC+ July with tacky baseball - 49 wRC+ (only 4 games) July with normal baseball - 244 wRC+ August - 89 wRC+ September - 111 wRC+ Was that offensive spike because pitchers were readjusting to a normal baseball and leaving pitches over the heart of the plate more? Yes for a teenager in AA Chourio was fantastic last year, but how ready is he for the MLB? He had a solid ST, but I think 8 or 9 of his 20 hits this ST were infield hits which is a pretty ridiculous amount.

Record: 82-80, 3rd in Central MVP: Adames Cy Young: Peralta ROY: Hall Top Newcomer: Hoskins All Star(s): Adames, Contreras, Peralta Breakout Player(s): Hall, Rea, Hudson, Frelick Disappointment(s): Chourio Bold Prediction(s): Chourio gets optioned to AAA at some point in the season

$25M with a vesting option for another $25M if he makes 10 starts this year. So he caved for the short term deal. Boras disasterclass winter.
-
Very curious to see if he caved for a short deal or get the longterm deal he wanted

I'm 14-16. I think anything within a game or two of .500 should be considered a success as it's not an easy schedule and we have Miley and Williams missing for most and all of it.
-
I think that could be a very noisy stat. The Brewers only used an opener 2 times last year. I don't know how common openers were for the rest of the league, but that could lead to a big gap in IP. Brewers used an opener 2 times in 2023. If a different team used an opener 10 times that's around 30 more "RP" innings that aren't necessarily pitched by the bullpen.
-
The bullpen is a big thing that people are glossing over. I agree with that. I've been saying all offseason that by ERA/FIP/WAR the bullpen could be identical to last year, but the likelihood they match the 2023 season of high leverage clutch pitching is pretty darn low and that was before DW was set to miss half the year. Brewers bullpen WPA of 11.73 last season was the 5th highest in the 21st century so 5th best out of 720 seasons. Replicating that even with DW would have been incredibly difficult.

82 wins

Wiemer was already optioned to AAA so yes he's not on the opening day roster. Mitchell seems like a lock according to Hogg as the starting CF with Chourio in RF and Frelick at 3B.

Is this assuming Vieira has a roster spot?

Brewers Still In the Market For Rotation Depth?
wiguy94 replied to wiguy94's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Montgomery unlike Snell and the other big FA this offseason has not had a QO put on him because he was traded midseason. That likely is what is deterring him from signing a short term deal because the QO if you aren't a superstar level player definitely hurts your market. -
Yeah I am pretty sure the original story would end up with Ohtani committing a crime, so of course the lawyers would come in and make sure that story doesn't air.
-
Ippei was not one of the employees that could trigger an opt out. That clause only applies to Mark Walter (Chairman) and Andrew Friedman (POBO). Edit: Source - AP News: https://apnews.com/article/shohei-otani-dodgers-3fe44e39efc42674f75b5233cc01b149

Awesome article Jack. Murphy definitely is not what I anticipated he was when he was rumored to be in the race for the manager's job.
-
Arroyo is on a minor league deal with a camp invite, so he doesn't need to be optioned if he doesn't make the team.

Well no he was sent back because he was never seriously going to make the team

Wes Clarke was sent back to minor league camp over a week ago. He has a 0% chance of making the team.
-
Logan Henderson removed from the game after an awkward pitch. Really hope it's nothing serious.

It's also on MLB.com for those who don't have MLB network

Chourio seems to be singled out publicly for every mistake he makes by Murphy and he's the only one who seems to get that treatment. I remember after Dunn's 2 error game earlier this Spring Murphy brushed it off and complimented Dunn.

Minor League Camp - Game Info via BrewersPD
wiguy94 replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
2 things that stuck out to me. Lara is in the AA/AAA group and Barrios is in the A+ group with Guilarte in the A group. -
Gasser is having a really nice ST. Would be a bummer if he doesn't make the opening day roster.

Devin Williams Out 3 months with stress fractures in back
wiguy94 replied to Underachiever's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I'd also add in the worst possible outcome that DW's issue would flare up after returning forcing him into back surgery and basically eliminating any chance of the Brewers cashing out on him.
