    Can’t imagine a system with as many potential pitching prospect breakouts as ours. Positional as well, with what should be a healthier year for the likes of Quero-Boeve-Wilken-Adamczewski & Payne. And with all of the control the team has over their BL team, this system shouldn’t graduate too many over the next year giving the team what should be their most highly rated farm system ever. Of course trades could thin things out a little but with another international class added in 2 weeks and another draft-class in July, they could be in an incredible position of strength come trade-deadline with a farm system literally bursting at the seams.

    Because the team’s local TV revenue might get slashed with the news that Fan Duel might be dissolving.

    When Misiorowski re-introduces his CH, which I predict will happen at some point moving-forward, he’s going to be the most unhittable pitcher in baseball. Improved command will get him to the Skenes-Skubal tier — can’t wait.

    I would argue the Brewers have a better opportunity to get to the WS without a salary cap. They have figured out how to build the best Small-Market organization in baseball and by a lot, and outside of the LAD, the best organization from top to bottom in the game. A salary cap will bring more teams into the mix and neuter the advantage MKE has over 97% of the teams in MLB. Currently, we are in the early stages of the golden age of Brewers fandom, with the best yet to come.

    None of the above. Personally, I think the Baz acquisition takes Baltimore out of the Peralta sweepstakes. Substitute Tolle for Witherspoon and I might do the Boston deal. Substitute Tong for Sproat and I might do the Mets deal.
  6. SF70
    Agree. Not overly impressed with the player return. The 33rd pick makes the total return decent, but no more than that as far as I’m concerned.
  7. SF70
    The trades today likely take Baltimore & Houston out of the Freddy Peralta sweepstakes. Bidding war just got reduced some along with the odds of Peralta getting traded. Still think he goes.
  8. SF70
    Yeah don’t think he’ll be as cheap as you think. If Houser gets a 2 year $22M deal, Littel won’t be too far off that, imo. Post-Peralta trade, this team’s rotation is deep enough with solid arms to get to the trade-deadline in good shape, imo. If Ashby rotations, they go 8-9 deep with starter arms that have big-league experience. I think they go the starters on minor-league signing route instead of adding a FA starter.

    Don’t use that website. Duran conservatively at 12 WAR the next 3 years. At $7M/WAR = $84M - $38M in arby = 46M in STV. Peralta with 4.5 WAR. At $7M/WAR = $31.5M - $8M salary = 23.5M STV.
  10. SF70
    Duran has likely double the surplus trade-value of Freddy.

    Post of the thread. Mears was history anyhow. Collins, doesn’t fit the Brewers run-prevention model, especially late-season with his strange defensive regression likely sealing his fate with this team. Watched Zerpa a decent amount pitching a lot of HL for KC, and liked what I saw. The makings of a dominant HL arm is there for the Brewers to work their magic with. This is the type of trade that gets this team closer to winning a WS title. Arnold & co will not be denied.
  12. SF70
    Great trade. Mears had no options, diminished stuff and needed to go. Like Collins, but his weird defensive regression the second-half of the season gave me pause. Love Zerpa’s stuff. Brewers will turn him into a HL monster.
  13. SF70
    Mears is good as gone, imo. Multiple teams interested should nab a decent return. Not having an option has sealed Mears fate with this team.
  14. SF70
    Should be motivated to get in shape unlike the tubby he was after signing his last contract. Guessing he can pitch with MKE sometime in the second-half of the year and hopefully impact the postseason.
  15. SF70
    This team is getting closer to making a big trade or trades. They have a farm that by the trade-deadline should be overflowing with pitching depth, and IF depth, especially R5’ers next offseason that they will need to thin out.
  16. SF70
    I think the flexor-injury he experienced late-season, along with his injury history, is going to hold down the trade-return for Megill. He’s also not a historically great closer/HL arm like Williams was when he was traded. Injury concern is why I’m trading him, with the $4M in $ savings a bonus that can give the team more financial-flexibility to make moves during the season if deemed necessary, after-all, they currently have the largest payroll in team history.
  17. SF70
    I think the $ savings could be bigger than we think with this being the largest OD payroll in team history right now. I want more financial-flexibility during the season to make moves if deemed necessary. The trade-return is a bonus.
  18. SF70
    Further injury risk makes Megill expendable. Saving the $4M+ can be used at the trade-deadline if needed. This team builds bullpens like no other.
  19. SF70
    Of the 4 full-season affiliates, which one are you most excited to watch in the early going next season?
  20. SF70
    Hold him for now. The team, as is, should be good to go until the trade-deadline as far as big trades go and if Ortiz still can’t hit by that time and Pratt ends up raking in AAA, he becomes an internal option to possibly upgrade the SS position. The WC is Ortiz. If he can get near where Steamer thinks he will in the box next season (95 wRC+) no one, including Made, is replacing Ortiz at short not only next season but if he can maintain his improved hitting, probably 2027 as well.

    Do you like Matt Arnold’s draft-strategy of the last 3 years of going underslot early to be able to spend $ on HS pitching later?
  22. SF70
    Just read Hogg’s column this morning where he gave updates from Flanagan on the injured prospects of note throughout the team’s system. According to Flanagan all 7 pitchers that had TJ in ‘24 will be a full go this ST, including the 3 I asked you about, Broughton-Galindez & Knoth. That answered my first question.
  23. SF70
    I’d probably do Beavers & Gibson & the comp A pick for Peralta. Both of the players have a chance to impact the ‘26 team so that’s the type of return we should do for player the caliber of Peralta.
  24. SF70
    I liked Benge, and he’d sure look good in our AAA OF, and Yesavage in our rotation, but I love this team’s strategy of underslot early to pile up the savings in rounds 11-20 for maybe the best amateur pitching evaluation system in all of baseball. When you have an advantage over the rest of baseball it makes perfect sense to continue this strategy indefinitely. Pile up the pitching talent to eventual excess — then deal from that excess to help strengthen the rest of the team and still have more solid, controllable arm talent than any team in baseball. Since Matt Arnold has taken over the draft from David Stearns, I’m not sure there’s been a better domestic draft department in all of baseball.
  25. SF70
    The Brewers don’t believe in windows. Maybe the looming lockout puts extra emphasis on trying to win this coming season but that same potential lockout could also curb the desire to spend on this year’s team. My guess is a portion of the extra revenue the team received from their playoff run of ‘25 is being set aside just in case.
