    I think it’s as simple as Mayo provides tremendous power of which the team can use big-time. Whether he plays 3B-1B or RF, his bat in the middle of the lineup for the next 6+ years would be fantastic. Wilken is at best 1.5 years away from touching MKE. The jury is still out on Black at 3B. I think long-term Black’s best position might be LF/CF, with this team—LF. Agree with you — theBrewers biggest weakness organizationally is SS. Adding Ortiz or Westburg would also be great. Also agree that trading RP to Baltimore makes the most sense. Elias doesn’t seem like the 1 year rental type GM to me. Payamps for 3 or Williams for 2 seems to be something he’d go for.

    Agree Williams would cost more than Ortiz. I agree Baltimore needs bullpen help. With Bautista down until ‘25 they seem like the perfect team to trade Williams to. Williams for Mayo? Williams for Ortiz & Norby? Williams for Norby & Hall?

    Love the Mitchell trade for the young starter to replace Burnes, and open-up playing-time on OD for Chourio. Like the Burnes trade to Baltimore for Mayo-Beavers-Bright. Elias seems like a GM who would want more than 1 year of control on anyone but he does have ridiculous IF depth organizationally and OF’s higher on the pecking order than Beavers so maybe this is one he just can’t say no too. Mayo is the exact type of player if I’m trading Burnes I want back — a player that can help the big-club early in the ‘24 season. I also might not make this trade unless I make the Woo trade as well, getting a rotational starter to replace Burnes in ‘24. Don’t like the Polanco-Turang trade. Hate Polano’s defense anywhere on the IF. Don’t want to trade Turang this early in his development. Bringing in Dunn gives me backup for if Turang comes into camp rail-thin again. Something tells me he’s been working-out like a man possessed this offseason to get stronger in an attempt to impact the baseball a little more and make adjustments in the box. Love the Severino & Santana signings. Nice job with the roster you put together. Traded Burnes without making the ‘24 team worse, which isn’t an easy thing to do, and the trades are to teams who realistically might actually want to make those trades.

    I love the return on the Dodger trade but don’t think there’s any way the LAD trade both Sheehan and Pepiot for 2 total years of Burnes-Adames. Just not a Friedman-type of move. I think it’s going to be hard enough just getting the right return from that team trading 1 of Burnes-Adames. I also don’t think Baltimore trades a top 50 prospect in Ortiz for a non-Williams reliever. Payamps just doesn’t have that type of value. Now Williams to Baltimore sounds more like the right move. Lots of IF talent to choose from like a Mayo might be had there.
  5. SF70
    Yeah for me if I’m trading Burnes to the LAD I’m wanting Sheehan as the headliner. He’s better than Pepiot and would give MKE a #2/3 for the next 6 seasons. The LAD would never part with both of Pepiot-Sheehan, so Sheehan it should be. I’d even go with Vargas the 17 yr old SS as the 2nd piece and leave it at that, giving my farm as good a group of teenagers as there is in baseball. Im not trading Burnes to LA unless I get Sheehan. Period. I’ll keep him for his ‘24 performance and the pick otherwise. Sheehan replaces Burnes in the ‘24 rotation as well as any one player in baseball that I can think of that would be possible as a trade return.
  6. SF70
    Yeah the way Arnold & co value defender status in their players I just don’t see interest in Polanco.
  7. SF70
    Championship roster? You mean like the ‘23 Braves or Dodgers? This team can win the central in ‘24 as is and once in, have as good a chance as anyone because — baseball. 2 TOR starters, the best bullpen in baseball, Mitchell back, sophomore improvement, Chourio & Black = definite contender. I’m excited about 4 picks of the top 40ish and $14M in pool money in the ‘25 draft, and I think the team is as well if it means another central title.
  8. SF70
    The team likely believes they can win the central with Burnes-Adames. If they get a return that blows the comp pick/pool money AND Burnes potential Brewers performance out of the water, they likely take it. It would very likely have to include player/players ready to help the big-club in ‘24, imo, or they hold and give this team’s tremendous amateur draft department the pick and the money. Same with Adames.
  9. SF70
    I believe Rea signed for $3.5M plus the club option. Tremendous signing. Guessing Rea believes the MKE PDS can get another gear out of him this year like they did last year after coming from overseas.
  10. SF70
    No thanks on Manoah. Way too much risk. Out of shape, big loss of velo. Attitude is potentially another red flag.
  11. SF70
    I like the pitching added, although I find it hard to believe the Dodgers would give-up that much pitching for 2 years total of Burnes/Adames.
  12. SF70
    Top 15 for me. I’ll go 15. I’m super excited about this trade. I love Matt Arnold. Mets can have Stearns now that our infrastructure has been rebuilt. I’ll take the scouts eye.
  13. SF70
    Should be fascinating to see how the FO/Murphy handle the incredible team speed and baserunning ability forthcoming. This team has an opportunity to run the opposition to death and I’m expecting them to take advantage.
  14. SF70
    No reason why this team’s prospects can’t breakout like the Reds prospects did last season. We have Chourio, who’s currently destroying winter league pitching poised to make the OD roster with superstar potential. Tyler Black, who’s probably our second best hitting prospect, also set to enter the lineup early next year. If 1 of Mitchell/Frelick breaks out in the box this team suddenly has an offense to go with their elite defense. Even without Williams, the bullpen will be strong and if they end up trading Burnes, it will be because they got blown-away with a return, including a player that helps the team next year, in all likelihood. I see a contending team next year even if they end up trading Burnes/Williams.
  15. SF70
    This is the weakest position in our entire farm system. Brown-Pratt, that’s it for real SS prospects. The rest are no power, gap hitters at best or 2B/3B/CF. Hoping the team can add another SS prospect with pop thru this years draft and or add one by trade.
  16. SF70
    Quero-Myers-Devanney. Quero of course. Myers stuff out of the pen is too strong to potentially lose. Shuttle arm next season. Devanney can field, throw and slug. In my opinion he should be given an opportunity to beat out Monasterio for a roster spot.with MKE. His power and SS play gets him past Monasterio if I’m the GM.
  17. SF70
    The Brewers are not going to rebuild. If they trade Burnes-Adames or Williams it will be because the return blows away the comp pick, in which case they likely get talent for today (the ‘24 season) as well as tomorrow, and with their returning talent including the best bullpen in the game (just replace Williams with Misiorowski sometime during the second-half of the season) can still contend for the central crown. Not as strong as with them granted, but strong enough to still be a contender.
  18. SF70
    Woody missed 80% of last year. And another season of Burnes will net a top 35 pick and the pool money that comes with it, which is extremely valuable considering this teams prospect procurement systems. Not having Counsell shouldn’t affect the direction the team takes. This team can contend next year and they don’t need Counsell & Woody to do it.
  19. SF70
    If the team trades Burnes it will be because they got a deal they couldn’t refuse. Same with Williams and Adames. They would likely get prospects/players that would also help next years team compete, Attanasio’s recent statements of the team having the 5th best record in baseball and able to compete with anybody flies in the face of a sell-off for prospects, imo.
  20. SF70
    Mattingly would make a great manager for this team. Tons of managing experience overall including years of working with young talent at Miami. What impressed me watching those Marlins teams was he got them to relentlessly compete even tho the rosters he had were terrible. Love his aggressiveness on the bases, which this team needs with all of our speed and baserunning ability. Players seemed to enjoy playing for him so I believe he has the requisite communication skills.
  21. SF70
    Spot-on analysis on our dynamic infrastructure. One thing I’m sure about Attanasio is he’s smart enough to know that a strong infrastructure is the key to sustained success as a SM team and I’m confident he’ll continue to hire the right people, including paying and promoting the people he has employed.
  22. SF70
    The farm is devoid of power at the SS position. Pratt should develop power over time, so there’s hope with him but that’s about it. Devanney-Bitonti-Baez are 3B. The rest are singles hitters with some gap power. Next years draft, I’m hoping for a real SS with power potential gets added. I prefer a college bat but if it’s HS, so be it.
  23. SF70
    Exactly. The sophomores should all improve. Our 2 best hitting prospects are poised to enter next year’s lineup at some point, probably sooner than later. I’m betting on a big year from Adames and good year’s again from Yelich-Contreras.
  24. SF70
    Absolutely. And a top farm system created from within, without a sell-off or high draft-pick. Scouting combined with skill in draft-pool money manipulation in the draft and scouting internationally with special emphasis of scouting in Venezuela. This team infrastructure strength is going to continue the pipeline of talent indefinitely, which supersedes any perceived negative about this team. Patience is what we really need here, and for those that have it, this is only the beginning stages of the golden era of Brewers fandom.
  25. SF70
    Love your thinking, just think adjustments would need to be made with Hoskins (if you really want him) and the trade with Baltimore. Bauer maybe could be had for 1 at 13, but Hoskins is getting a multi-year deal. He should be 100% by OD and there should be plenty of teams bidding on his power bat. Like the Williams trade idea to Baltimore just don’t think they would give up Ortiz and Hall. Might have to choose among them and add lessor secondaries. I’m forgoing adding Hoskins, and going with Santana. The rest of your roster is spot on to what I’d do. Nice job!
