    Yeah just watched the replay, 1st AB bottom of the 3rd, suprised they let him stay in, he was very clearly trying not put any weight on that foot. Even when they had him walk around he was using the bat as a crutch.

    What do you mean? Did he re-injure himself?

    Im not sold on Paredes still being an option, Pena is hurt. Houston says its minor and hell be back close to the minimum, but hes been hurt all year and Houston is the worst with injury reports. Even if they get to the deadline with a healthy Pena, Jim Crane forced Correa's contract on that team, and hes an IL stint waiting to happen. TL;DR, the Astros are gonna need Paredes and Jim Crane is a meddling idiot.

    I have this wild theory that the sinker/slider pitcher should start throwing the occasional slider. He is at 70% sinker, and that number is trending up, especially after he spammed them his last game. I noticed he kept shaking off William in that game, id love to know if he was shaking off sliders. I still have faith, lots of wbc relievers are struggling, and sometimes it takes guys awhile to adjust to a new team.

    That Correa trade was so strange, has Crane meddling written all over it. They liked Paredes enough to have him be a centerpiece for Kyle Tucker, and now need to move him so they can shove Correa's carcass out there.

    I get why people say you can never have too much pitching, but you can only have 13 on the roster. Id much rather see them give that 5 spot to a young guy with some upside, than roll out a mediocre veteran for depth just to have a repeat of last year where guys like Patrick & Henderson are stuck in Nashville. A guy like Montgomery would be good, he won't block anyone right away, or id love to see them trade for a guy w options if they're really worried about depth there.

    Have been refreshing this site for this article since I saw the deal, great work as always Jack!.

    Cam Smith becoming an all-star for us right after Tucker leaves Chicago would be pretty hilarious.

    The only thing that makes me nervous is how hard they leaned on Abner last year, and how that could affect his durability in 26. Still think they should take the right deal for Megill, just getting ready to be irrationally nervous if he is moved.

    Walker Buehler was laughing at Brewer fans for ever thinking the great Justin Turner would sign with a mickey mouse operation like Milwaukee. People say forgive and forget, I dont do either, dont want him here on any salary.

    Easton McGee seems like the perfect shuttle long man for us at a minimum. He doesn't walk guys, zips projects him at 1.94, 1.90, and 1.81 bb/9 over the next 3 years, with a respectable FIP. For anyone he belongs on the 40, with the Brewers defense, I think he could put up a nice season if pressed into action.

    Last year was the year to lock up Turang, this would seem like buying high to me. OTOH, I really want them to lock up Contreras, and no way they are doing both, so perhaps im reaching.

    Not that rp is a pressing need, especially RH, but if teams aren't crazy about Tyler Rogers, would be stoked to see the Brewers pick him up. Dude is as rubber armed as the come, and seems like our defense would compliment his style very well. Almost guaranteed to soak up 70+ innings with soft contact and few walks.

    Im generally inclined to not use a PR, but plenty of teams carry a guy just for that in the playoffs. If the Brewers actually go with 11 pitchers, I could totally see Lockridge making it. Lockridge has 99th percentile sprint speed per statcast, and I suspect a playoff PR role is a part of why they targeted him in the trade.

    Id trade Freddy, pitchers are too risky, and he has piled up innings the last few years. Burnes was a model of health, until he wasnt. Convert that surplus value into something else. Not necessarily related to Freddy, but really wanted the Crew to push for Casas from Boston this off-season when his name came up in trade rumors, would love a buy low on him now coming off back to back injury marred seasons, maybe he can be had for pennies. They will need a 1B regardless to compete with Vaughn, if he goes through arb the contract isnt fully guaranteed, and prefer its a LH w power. Add a utility piece that can compete with Joey, get Woody back, and add a slew of pitchers I never heard of but turn out to be great, and call it an off-season.
