thanks for the info. That helps.... 2032 is a long time away.

How long do the Brewers control his contract before he becomes a free agent? Does calling him up for a stint in the majors this year accelerate the length of their control?

Great story about a wonderful human. Must have taken alot of courage to live and eventually die with Parkinson's. Blessings to his family!

Great article. Really enjoyed the info about Pratt trying to learn Spanish to better communicate with his Latin American team mates. The Brewers are indeed loaded in their minor league system.

Gary Sanchez has 11 years of major league experience and has never played first base. Kind of surprising really. Doesn't mean he won't. The out of the box Brewer's think- tank may have other ideas. I checked and found Luis Renfigo in his 8 yr career has also never player first base. David Hamilton has also never played first but has been in the other infield spots and the outfield. Brandon Lockridge also has no experience at first base. Jeferson Quero also has no first base experience. Blake Perkins doesn't either. Thankfully Jake Bauers does and will play there but he will probably be platooned with someone else at first. I wonder if they pondered bringing up Brock Wilken's who plays third but has also been learning to play first since last year. Big dude at 6ft 4in. All that being said I trust in Matt Arnold and Pat Murphy having a plan.

Appreciate the article. I enjoy hearing about Pat Murphy's perspective about the player. His ability to communicate with players is exceptional.

So glad Pat Murphy is the "busdriver" on this team. Fortunate for his "servant leadership" as the article describes.

His availability if it can be counted on would be like maple syrup ontop of a stack of pancakes...sweet :)

Glad That Luis is not being thought of as a long term third baseman. So many options like Brock Wilkins in the farm system. How Jett Williams fits in will determine alot of this. It would be better if Jett is the SS (the jury is still way out on this), Ortiz moves to third and Turang stays at second. Then Luis Rengifo is the utility infielder. Way way better than another year of Montesterio and Seigler.

Impressive trade for the Brewers. Williams at SS with Ortiz as a defensive late inning player. Durbin at third, Turang at second. Their speed as a team is amazing. Their minor league prospects also amazing. A small market team moving the needle!

Sad return. I am not feeling this. It is a salary dump.

Bottom line Matt is you can never have enough good players. Seigler and Montasterio do not fall in the good category.

I couldn't agree more with your article Jake. He has been very effective fir us but is a ticking time bomb as an aging lefty. As the year goes on his age may show itself more. Flip him for a 8th inning set up pitcher or a 3rdbase/SS with some zip.

Appreciate this information. I trust Matt Arnold's judgement more than my opinions. He usually is on the right side of a trade. Thanks Jason
