  1. There's a lot of talk of Baddoo, but there's more room for Black to get a chance now.
  2. That 70 PA across 2 seasons.. he has a .357 OBP 89 wRC+ in that small sample. Black's issue has always been finding a defensive home in the big leagues. Being hurt the same time when Perkins and Mitchell were out cost him an extended opportunity this year that Collins took the ball and ran with.
  3. They spent $34 M on Hoskins coming off major injury. I don't think it happens because they think what Vaughn showed post trade is somewhat real, and it would mean moving Yelich off the DH spot more regularly. The money is not an issue, and his performance over the last 4 seasons at the plate is right in line with what many think the Brewers need to add. (130 wRC+ 20+ HR over a full season) I'm sure the rebuilding Cardinals would like to get out from under his contract, but he's got a NTC and he refused to waive it last offseason.
  4. Contreras has 2 years left + a club option with a guaranteed $37 M. ($18 M, $18.5 M, $5 M buyout of $17.5 M) it's a comtract the Brewers could certainly afford. The Brewers aren't non tendering Vaughn, so they'd have to feel comfortable with Yelich getting more time in LF going forward if they did grab Contreras.
  5. The copout is "We don't know how Suarez would have performed for us".
  6. This is a copout. Coming here to brag about how right you were about needing Suarez because of 2 HR in a game despite being bad since the deadline and the first 9 games of the postseason doesn't work.
  7. Suarez was bad post deadline (.189/.255/.428/.683 91 wRC+) and in the playoffs before tonight's game (.162/.206/.270/.476 36 wRC+)
  8. It was reported PTBNL or Cash considerations, and more often than not it ends up being the cash considerations. So nothing.
  9. Brewers are only paying $3 M of Montgomery's remaining salary. It's Cortes and a PTBNL/Cash for Miller, Lockridge, and Montgomery's salary.
  10. Some stuff on Areinamo from a month ago, and some of the Brewers internal discussions.
  11. Pratt has a 108 wRC+ as one of the youngest players in the Southern League. The Brewers director of player development did an interview where he said they view Pratt is a future all star.
  12. IKF isn't really an upgrade. His season numbers say so, but Ortiz is outhitting him since the Brewers bottomed out at 21-25. (95 wRC+ to 69 wRC+)
  13. Hector Gomez isn't a reliable source, and Curt Hogg proposed those 3 in a Suarez trade in the JS. He's just repeating that as a breaking rumor. Edit: It was JR Radcliffe who proposed the package for Hogg to review.
  14. He hasn't made an extension impossible after his 2 starts. Spencer Strider owns the largest pre arb extension for a SP that I can find. (6 years $75 M + 7th year option maxing out at $92 M) That was signed after his rookie season in 2022.
  15. Brewers say no in a heartbeat.
  16. Justin Jarvis, Jhonny Severino, Cooper Hummel, Alberto Ciprian, etc. have really hurt not having. He would be that massive. The offensive turnaround after acquiring Canha and Santana at the 23 deadline had the Brewers finish 35-20 post deadline. When we're getting such poor performance at the position a league average bat is a massive improvement.
  17. I'm sure we would, but the Braves would have 0 interest in moving a borderline top-100 SS for any of our rentals especially as they're currently employing Nick Allen as their everyday SS.
  18. He's a rental likely to be available at a position of need that is one of the top performers in that group. A 117 wRC+ supported by solid under the hood metrics is not something we currently have in house. We've been getting a 42 wRC+ out of 3B this year. Should that continue and Urias could give a 100 wRC+ post trade, that would improve that positions output by roughly 60%. That a massive improvement.
  19. I don't think it will take a miracle for the Brewers to make the playoffs, and any team that makes the playoffs can win it all. The Brewers have had a lot go wrong, and they're 29-28 a little past the 1/3 mark. If some of the issues remain on offense as we get to the deadline, the additions of some 90-110 wRC+ bats would provide substantial upgrades that can see the team take off a la 2023 post Canha and Santana additions. (35-20 to close out the season)
  20. They've averaged 90.3 wins per 162 since 2017, so I'm good projecting that for 2025.
  21. Collins has all 3 of his option years remaining. He was only added to the 40 man roster for the first time near the end of 2024. Capra is the one that is out of options.
  22. He was taken out if context. In context, it's about choosing to extend Yelich for the fans over trading him to bring in more talent to win the WS, and would he do a Yelich type deal again, which he said yes. It's basically saying he isn't looking to be as aggressive about churning through talent like the Rays are (Arozarena had 2.5 yrs and Paredes had 3.5 years of control when traded for example) largely because the Rays have no fans by doing that.
  23. 1.5-2.0 WAR season may not seem unreasonable based on last season, which was his best season since 2019, and he only posted a 95 wRC+. He has a .205/.263/.372/.635 76 wRC+ over the last 3 seasons. (Monasterio is a .243/.322/.324/.646 82 wRC+ lasr 2 seasons) That's the more reasonable expectation for 2025. I wouldn't have opposed his signing, but I don't think it's a miss passing on him.
