Amsinger is over the top, hyper, and a lousy lead commentator. But Harold Reynolds is just plain bad. Has his facts wrong and thinks he is way to cool.
Add the 2024 and 2023 draft plus the international signings and it is a very strong farm system. If the 2025 draft is strong the system will be loaded.
Yankees and Padres could use a catcher.
21/2 years of Contreras would bring back a haul. With Quero ready it would seem like the right time to do it. I agree with 888 better to trade earlier to get much better return.
So is it time for the Brewers consider changing their practice of trading veterans with one year of control left to trading them with two years of control. Burnes for Ortiz and Hall. Ortiz is solid defensively but a questionable contributor at the plate. No idea on Hall. Williams for Durbin and Cortez. One hurt one in the minors. Would we get a better quality return for that extra year? Enough to offset missing out on Burnes/Williams/next guy for another year?
Toughest question is how does MLB resolve the $334 million per year cash cow the Dodgers have with their broadcast rights? Is the only way a complete revenue sharing of monies from that? No way the Dodgers, Yankees agree to that.
Correct MA doesn’t owe us anything
Correct he’s not in it to lose money
But it is sports and the expectation is that you are trying to win a championship. You can argue spending money in and of itself doesn’t win that. But there are a lot of numbers that show a higher payroll is important in achieving that. That is where fans frustrations stem from.
