    Hilarious. Time will tell it always does.

    They won't because they won't spend to make the roster better or trade those guys because that would send a message to the fan base that they are re-building. They want to walk this tight rope between being just good enough to be above .500(fingers crossed we get into the playoffs) but not going for it. They are waiting for the perfect scenario where everything goes right which will never happen. The only thing I know which ever plan they come up with it leads to the same result. No WS. I can already see the narrative where they will let it leak that they offered Burnes and Woody and extension, but they turned it down. Then they can go that see we tried. The narrative will quickly go from opportunistic back to controllable talent and this so called Golden Age of Brewer Baseball will be part of the history books and fans can look back and say look how clever we were.

    I have to be honest but if I'm Burnes or Woody I don't think I would sign an extension with Milwaukee? What in incentive would convince either of them to sign an extension? They know that in a couple of years not only will they get paid (more than what the Ownership Group can give them) but probably get a team that is a WS contender and not a "hope we get in the playoffs (a system that right now nearly lets in half of the teams in the playoffs) and if we get hot at the right time and the stars align, we might win". I can't see any impact FA, even if Mark puts down his cards and soccer team, and pony ups the money, coming to Milwaukee. If we can build a roster around Burnes and Woody might as well trade them now. This was a salary dump which is fine as long as some more moves are made to actually improve the roster. Right now, you have made a lineup that isn't deep even worse with this move. I see the Brewers having a payroll below average, but high for the Brewers, and a massive PR spin to convince fans that they are serious about winning a WS and how Mark, Matt, and Craig are challenging each other to be opportunistic to push the boat out to take bites out of the apple to take over the world and gosh golly we tried. Just look at the banners on the outfield wall including last year's banner they will unveil next year "2022 Best Start in Franchise History" banner. Maybe in 10 years we can have a stadium give away for the anniversary.

    Okay I'll let it go and see what the next several weeks bring.

    I think one thing we have to remind ourselves is that the ability to sign Burnes and/or Woodruff is not completely in the Brewers hands. Even if MA comes up with the money to push the budget out to get a bite of the apple, Burnes and/or Woodruff might not be interested in signing a long term deal in Milwaukee. You already have some players publicly questioning the FO/Ownership group of their true desire to "win" after some of their decisions last season. If some of them are saying this in public god only knows what they are saying in private. In my opinion adding Singleton to the 40 man and implying that he will play a role at the major league level(because they actually believe he will move the needle) is not the way to show to anyone that Brewers are serious about ending 53 year drought of not winning a WS or ending the 40 pennant drought. It might be insurance just in case something that are planning doesn't work out but I doubt it. Friday now to me will be a clear sign on how the rest of this off season will be.

    Just don't look at the K rate.

    He is not a power bat. When he does make contact it sometimes goes over the fence. The most HR he has in the majors is 14 and that was 8 years ago. He had 24 against AAA arms last year which is one of his better HR marks but he K way too often. Which I guess is perfect with what the Brewers look for in an offensive player. So yeah, perfect fit.

    I know which scares me more and more on how this FO (DS and now MA) builds and understands offensive roster construction. Surely, we can do better than this. What conceivable scenario does any team, with post season and or WS (use that very loosely) aspirations have Singleton on the roster? I cannot believe that they are going to run out the same team and have another reclamation project. I was okay with Singleton on a minor league deal sitting in AAA (he didn't even have a great year in AAA, yeah he walked a bit had a few HR's and a lot of K's) but this addition to the 40 man just makes madder (or is it sadder?) than it should, I guess.

    There is no way Turner comes to Milwaukee even if MA finds the money which is a big IF.

    For me is that you didn't need to add him to the 40 man roster. We already have him on a minor league deal. This now becomes a major league deal. The FO added him to protect him from the rule 5 draft. You only do that if you already planning to use Singleton at the major league level. (why you would think that anyone else would pick him up in the rule 5 after not playing in the majors for the last 8 years is beyond me).

    I think this is all moot now with Singleton on the 40 man roster now and some of MA comments. The Brewers are going to go with Tellez/Singleton at 1B/DH. Seems to me that they are not going to be looking for any outside offensive help at these positions. They feel Singleton K rate will be a great asset to get us to the top spot of leading the NL in strikeouts. Bonus is that Singleton hasn't played in the majors for the last 8 years (perfect fit for the mantra of the franchise...Is Axford still around?) but when you have the opportunity to add that quality of a player you push the budget out and take a bite of the apple. Who needs Abreau or Bell.

    I agree. I just hope this isn't a sign of how they are going to handle this offseason roster construction. Arnolds comments seem to imply that he will have time at the majors platooning with Tellez.

    Thats true. I was being a bit harsh.
  23. BlightyBrew
    Fair Point. I hope that as well.
  24. BlightyBrew
    I'm not. I've been a Brewer

    There was no economic reason to trade Hader at the deadline when you are in 1st and leading the division. Offseason yes if you needed to.
