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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

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.
-
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.
-
Of the 4 full-season affiliates, which one are you most excited to watch in the early going next season?
-
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?
-
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.

What could Freddy Peralta fetch in a trade?
SF70 replied to jonescm128's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
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. -
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.

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.
-
More likely? The team liking Lockridge. Do you remember how excited Murphy was getting Lockridge?
-
I’m guessing it was more Lockridge than salary relief, but whatever.
-
Lockridge is one of the fastest players in baseball, and can play CF defense. to MKE’s standards. The Brewers felt that important enough to give up a real prospect. I’m guessing Chourio’s hamstring injury made acquiring Lockridge necessary with also the team knowing of Collins upcoming paternity and possibly of Perkins mother being sick helping that decision along.
-
I was talking about Mears, not Megill. And Mears regressed after the all-star break. It could have been he got overworked and wore down, but his command was poor late-season. Maybe the team thinks an offseason of rest and Mears will be good to go next season, we’ll see.
-
Lockridge is great OF depth for teams like MKE that value speed, defense & baserunning. He was also needed in a big-way late last season when Chourio (IL), Collins (Paternity), and Perkins (Bereavement) were all down at the same time.
-
Lockridge. He has options and can get stashed in AAA for depth. Mears isn’t good enough to overcome the fact he has zero (0) options left.
-
Mears didn’t even make our NLCS roster. He regressed badly late-season especially with his command. If the choice is between Mears and Yoho in 2026 I’m taking Yoho. I loved Bukauskas’s stuff prior to his lat injury, and IF (IF) his stuff is all the way back he will be a valuable pen arm for this team.
