  1. Love Freddy, but to extend him again likely means paying closer to market rates which this team should never do. The 2 years of FF performance along with the comp pick and pool money works for this team’s domestic draft-department, and also the clubs likely playoff-worthy team. 2 more years of control should work out well with the young pitching being developed in the system, some of which we should see make their debuts over that time giving the team starters that can rotation with Myers-Gasser-Ashby/Hall in 2027.
  2. My guess is they save $8M by trading Civale, which would give them $16-18M to spend. Then possibly a Hoskins trade with a Goldschmidt signing could save $3M this year and the $4M next year, although that would mean some serious prospect-capital having to go with Hoskins. I think it’s more likely money would have to go with him with less prospect-capital. A Moncada signing should be affordable if the team doesn’t want to trade for the Lowe’s. Looking forward to seeing how Arnold & co finish off the team before OD.
  3. With Cortes-Woodruff the ‘25 rotation has more solid starter options than they had going into last year, a year they went thru a record-breaking number of starters and still pitched well. They have SP depth at Nashville they just didn’t have last season as well.
  4. I don’t see the team retaining Civale and his $8M salary. I think the team believes 1 of Ashby-Hall will rotation and will want to preserve shuttle flexibility for Patrick-CRod-Hunt-Henderson. 1. Peralta 2. Myers 3. Cortes 4. Woodruff 5. Ashby/Hall 6. Patrick 7. CRod 8. Hunt 9. Henderson 10. Duplantier 11. Ashby/Hall 12. Minor-league signing. 13. Misiorowski
  5. No, the days of having to sell-off our best talent are over. Peralta’s performance and low salary are way more valuable to the team than adding more prospects to an already loaded system that has an amazing pipeline of prospect talent. Then adding the comp pick/pool money for this team’s domestic draft department and it becomes a no-brainer.
  6. IMO the scales have been tipped to the now over the future when it comes to the teams recent trades and also in keeping Adames for his performance and the pick vs an immediate prospect return. This is because of the team’s rebuilt infrastructure providing elite prospect-procurement creating a young & controlled big-league core along with a burgeoning monster farm without trade-offs. Great position to be in as a small-market franchise, being able to act like a large-market team when making trades in prioritizing the now over the future.
  7. Lux isn’t expensive, neither is Gonsolin, and Sheehan didn’t regress, he tore his UCL and had TJ and won’t be back until late in ‘25. No way the Dodgers give up Gonsolin & Sheehan in the same deal. Maybe we can get Gonsolin since he only has 2 control years left and should be ready to pitch in ST, although will probably have an innings limit coming off TJ. Sheehan, would be a tougher get, imo, even though he will miss most of ‘25, but will still have 4 years of control starting in ‘26, and at full strength is a potential TOR starter. The Dodgers won’t just give away these pitchers and are a tough team to trade with, with 14 GM’s and the largest army of analysts in all of baseball.
  8. Agree with your take. Prospect-procurement is the best by far, currently, that this system has ever had. With that said, I’m adding Payne & Pena to Made as untouchable Brewers prospects. Far too much upside to trade at this time. Pratt can go for the right deal, so can Misiorowski and Quero, with Quero, for me, the most painful potential loss. The team has a decade plus of championship-caliber talent ahead and a team currently, with an additional big-armed playoff starter (Chrochet), 3B (Moncada/Bohm), upgrade at UIF (DeJong/Berti) and better 1B that can crush LHP (Goldschmidt) can make a serious run this year.
  9. Continue to invest in infrastructure, prospect-procurement & development with avoidance of long-term FA contracts, gaining financial-flexibility and eventually with this team’s FO skill-level we will have talent that can go toe to toe with anybody. Patience required, because it’s going to take 3-4 years before we see the impactful talent in the bigs and then another year or two before they start to explode, but it’s going to happen if we stay the course.
  10. Of the 3, I’ll take trade #2. The team needs a veteran 3B not one with serious development ahead of him. They don’t need a 6 years of control 3B when they have 2 of their top prospects potentially ready to play 3B in 2027. Black is redundant and Williams expendable. The team already has the best young farm system in the game with another likely massive haul ahead in next years draft. The future is beyond bright, the time to win is now.
  11. So 3 of the 1st 37 picks? And 5 of the 1st 68. Another potentially franchise-altering draft taking shape?
  12. They can have Peguero in the deal as well just to get him and Murphy away from each other. Peguero & Payamps works for me. Lowe for the next 2 years at 1B until 1 of Burke-Boeve is ready with Hoskins & prospects traded off to save money.
  13. The Brewers have done their homework. They’ve seen the medicals, the size of the tear, the surgeons report, etc. and made the decision to spend $18M on Woodruff for the 2025 season. I’m expecting a solid starter early that gets stronger throughout the year leading to a game 1 playoff starter.
  14. Meccage-Knoth-Wichrowski-Letson-Woodward and a host of arm talent drafted last year yet to pitch professionally gives the team a nice base from which to work with that can be added to Myers-Gasser-Henderson-Hunt-CRod and of course Hall-Ashby. over the next few seasons. I’m quite bullish that they have enough arm talent spread-out at each level of the system to develop a nice big-league rotation moving-forward even if Misiorowski ends up in the bullpen.
  15. If things progress as they are currently, both will likely be offered extentions at some point ahead. Made could take the Chourio path and be our OD 3B in ‘27 with a 8-10 year contract.
  16. No problem. Poaching should be expected when they have such an elite international scouting department such as MKE has currently.
  17. No idea. Just that he’s no longer listed in the FO directory as Jim pointed out.
  18. If the team has indeed lost Luis Perez from the international department that would be bad news for sure.
  19. Yeah, Tampa & LAD SEEM to have the most SP arm injuries. Hard to come up with a Dodger pitcher that hasn’t had TJ or a major shoulder injury. Don’t think it’s just bad luck, but who knows.
  20. Miller no, Sheehan yes. I normally would never acquire a young Dodgers starting pitcher due to the likelihood of damaged goods, but Sheehan would be the exception due to his coming off TJ surgery last year and being able to finish his rehab in the Brewers system.
  21. Sheehan would be the 1 Dodgers pitcher I’d trade for since he’s already had his TJ and would pitch at some point later this season. Ive never seen a team with more starting pitcher arm injuries than the LAD, it’s almost comical.
  22. Trading him off by sending a prospect package with him so we can sign Goldschmidt sounds like a good plan to me.
  23. Buyer beware when it comes to trading for LAD starting pitchers. Never seen so many starting pitchers blowing out their arms.
  24. Probably not, or they wouldn’t have done them. Winning the WS could be worth a billion dollars or more if we include franchise-value increase. Its becoming anybody’s guess at this point.
  25. I think an OD payroll of $130M is way too high. Somewhere around $115M would likely be much closer.
