Don’t see any of the 3 criticism’s being valid. Really don’t think anything Murphy said made a bit of difference to the team’s performance or lack there of in the box. He didn’t say anything different than what he said all year long. Not bunting? Bunting is hard enough to do successfully against average to good pitching, but the stuff and command the Dodgers starters threw at MKE was otherworldly. Brewers did what they had to do pitching-wise to try to stay in these ballgames. Having only 2 stretched out starters put them in a difficult position. I promise you this team’s desire to have more starter depth moving-forward just went up ten-fold.

The Dodgers aren’t going to stop spending. They figured out they don’t need to make a yearly operating profit when their franchise value just increased nearly $1.5B in ONE (1) year. That’s where their focus will be — increasing the value of their franchise. Another WS victory should get them within shouting distance of the NYY, and a couple more years of the Ohtani show should get Japan even more gaga over the LAD and push their franchise value well past the Yankees in a relentless pursuit of being the most valuable team of any sport.

Woody is going to get paid over $50M by someone. His latest injury was expected and teams know this and Woody showed TOR performance in his outings last year. His lat injury should be past him well before ST and another year post-surgery could add a tick of velo back to his improved arsenal. Hes priced out of MKE and I think the team gives him a QO and we get a top 35 pick in the 2026 draft.
-
1 top 50 prospect is pretty close to $25-$30M in SV just by himself. Adding another makes that a pretty big overpay.
-
Williams, Tong, McLean are all top 50ish prospects in baseball and no way would the Mets do 2 of them for Peralta. My guess is Peralta has $25-$30M in trade surplus value so maybe Williams or Tong & a couple of top 20 organizational prospects. McLean is out of reach after showing future ace upside in his BL outings.
-
Not seeing much of an increase in payroll for the ‘26 season, not with less local TV revenue and a looming lockout in ‘27. Thinking near the same payroll as what they had in ‘25, so they can set aside a nice sum for a lockout war-chest.
-
No thanks. Bad vibes with choking away the ‘24 series vs the Mets and “punching a wall” a few postseasons before that and hurting their chances to advance vs the Braves.

The rotation needs Peralta’s innings, performance and veteran leadership. Patrick with his slurve might be the most underrated starter, stuff-wise, in the game. Then add in his moxie-grit-bulldog mentality and you have a TOR starter for the 2026 season. I think Miz can get to 175 innings and that will give the team 3 top of the rotation starters. Priester, as is, is a nice mid-rotation starter, but after more time working with the team’s PDS I’m hoping for, but not expecting a little more. Gasser another offseason past his TJ surgery should continue to get stronger. Prior to his injury he was showing signs of being more than a solid back of the rotation starter. Henderson, as is, is another mid-rotation-type starter even with a mostly 2-pitch mix thanks to both pitches being above average to plus pitches thrown with good command. Adding the SL/cutter he can command will go a long way to making him more than that. Hopeful he can get that pitch down. Hoping we see Ashby converted back to starter. He has the arsenal to be an eventual #2/3 starter and with better command more than that. That’s a really strong 7 deep. With a full offseason to add more depth and an upper-minors with 5-6 intriguing depth arms as well, I’m super confident in the starter arms we have giving this team the ability to win a WS with average health and a little bit of good luck.
-
I think we see Misiorowski unleash his CH on the baseball world next season. Those of us that watched him throw that devastating pitch in AAA saw a plus pitch that would take the Miz to another level. I’ve rarely seen a pitcher make more improvement than Miz in such a short time, maybe Burnes of 2020, but Miz is a special talent and I’m thankful we have 6 more control years with what could be the best pitcher in baseball.
-
If Henderson is 100% healthy and throwing the ball well in his bullpens, I’m taking him over Myers. Just better stuff.
-
Not many teams can survive late-season injuries to most of their starters. Quintana is now a 50ish pitch pitcher thanks to injury. Henderson injury was big. And of course the Woodruff injury. The team only has 2 fully stretched-out starters and now there’s even a question with Peralta and his hip. How is this Murphy’s fault?
-
It was our MO with Burnes and Williams, but not Adames. Burnes salary was almost double that of Peralta, and the team still had Peralta to lead their rotation post-Burnes. Peralta is far too important a player and not just performance-wise but chemistry-wise as well, which is why the team kept Adames all the way to FA. Williams was a reliever on a team with a bullpen factory — easily replaceable, so it was a no-brainer to trade Devin.
-
No way they trade Peralta. At $8M he’s the best bargain in baseball. The team doesn’t need to re-stock the farm. They, with Peralta leading the way, should have as good a team entering the postseason as any in the game. Imo, Patrick has a good chance to be much more than a #3/4 starter. He’s already a solid 3 with his 3 FB’s and with a better off speed he could easily rise to a 2.
-
I’ll take 5 years of Patrick over 3 of Cabrera straight up, let alone throw in Quero as well. Patrick-Gasser-Miz-Henderson-Priester is a strong 5-some moving-forward. Ashby-Hall could both eventually get stretched out if needed, then in addition the organization has Crow-Kuehner-Hunt-Hardin in the uppers and as much projectable SP as any farm system in the game. The FO is pretty good at finding “under the radar” pitching so I’m confident they can add who they need to complete a playoff-worthy rotation.
-
If the team doesn’t win a WS this postseason I believe they retain Peralta and make trade additions (veteran starter & power bat) in an attempt to win a title next season with a lockout looming in ‘27. Not “empty the farm” trades, but trades from depth positions that coupled with continued development from Chourio-Turang-Frelick-Contreras-Durbin-Collins-Mitchell, and their boatload of controlled starting pitching give them real potential of having an improved team over this year’s team. I’m not seeing a big FA addition because of payroll limitations so the trade route they will go.
-
Murphy already has said they are likely to go with 12 pitchers because they don’t want to be short if one or more games go into extras. The team waited until the last day of his rehab just to roster him, so the writing was on the wall about how the team felt about him. Also in the limited PH appearances since his IL stint he looked abhorrent as well.
-
The Brewers have stacked a mind-numbing amount of pitching talent in their last 3 drafts and have 3 upside pitching prospects that should be 100% recovered from TJ and good to go for the ‘26 season (Woodward-Knoth-Galindez). With the controlled SP the team has in MKE & the upper minors, this organization will be bursting with pitching talent from AA thru the ACL, and to the point they are going to be able to trade-off arms for BL talent upgrades. I count 8 BL starters, all but Peralta, controlled for 4-6 years. Peralta-Priester-Miz-Gasser-Patrick-Myers-Ashby-Hall. Then 4 more depth starters in the uppers, Crow-Kuehner-Hunt-Hardin, and that’s with Wichrowski converted back to reliever, so 11-12 deep, not including any offseason additions. When we see the pitching breakouts the next couple of years this team’s farm system is going to really seperate itself from the rest of the baseball world. Incredible time to be a Brewers fan.

I’ll take a 103mph, 1 inning stint,

It’s absolutely house money if you believe as I do that we are just BEGINNING the golden years of Brewers baseball. We have everything we need to be able to continue to roster a top 3 team in baseball for the next decade. A great owner + an elite FO + elite manager & coaches + a 3-6 years controlled, mostly prime-aged playoff core + an elite infrastructure + a top farm system = a decade of winning never before seen by a small-market team. Baseball being baseball, the best way to win a WS is roster a top 3 team for 10 straight years — that’ll get it done, and it doesn’t have to be this year.
-
Personally, not concerned about any aspect of this team entering the postseason. Since there’s no correlation between September play and October postseason play, I’m hopeful the team’s incredible depth shines through in the playoffs like it did during the regular season. But if not, Brewers fans will be just fine since we have many years ahead of top team in baseball talent with which to eventually get a title or two. Looking ahead 5-10 years — this is not our most talented team. Next year’s team looks to be stronger with a trade or two from our best in baseball farm system. We are playing with house money so relax Brewers fans and enjoy this 5-10 year ride.
-
The team performed just fine under the “bright lights” last postseason. Devin Williams wilted and that choke kept them from advancing. Tired of hearing how the team can’t advance, when it was 1 player’s fault.
-
Woodruff with a lat strain not an oblique injury.
-
Ortiz the last 2+ months has been GG-caliber at short, which is why the team puts up with his bad hitting.
