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

Nice article Mr T. I am hoping for a 8th inning set up pitcher . Also thinking getting a third baseman or shortstop who can hit would be way better than another first baseman/DH. The real need is someone to free up Caleb Durbin to be a utility player (infield /outfield). He had that role for the Yankees.

How is good is Jansen on defense? Please advise :)

Really really like the phrase if you don’t break some eggs you will make a pretty bad omelette. Let’s crack some eggs. Get another setup pitcher and an infielder with some pop. Let’s scramble some eggs in October!!! Nicely written Mr Jason Wang 😎

AZ Suarez rumors
Rick Daltons Flamethrower replied to TURBO's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I would prefer getting a starting SS who plays great defenseand can hit 250. Is that too much to ask for? His name is Oneil Cruz. Not a two month rental. Pittsburgh needs pitching help. -
My prediction is that in no way will they give up a ton for Suarez. He is not coming to Milwaukee.
-
I like the middle reliever trade idea for Ginkel. Our bullpen has been overused. The prospects needed to make the trade are not Taj Mahal kinds of players.
-
Now we are talking! Looking at youth at the trade. Oneil Cruz has an athletic profile that is like a Mercedes Benz. That would rev up the fan base's engine. Let's go get that F1.
-
I am a little late to the party but your article Matty True was right on target. Not sure what it would take to get Suarez but this is the year to be aggressive at the trade deadline. Sounds like he would also be a great addition to the clubhouse. Your take on having a coach like Pat Murphy hit the bullseye. Super article!

We are better today than we were yesterday.

I am in on Flaherty...really would be 20 million.... 15 for 2025 and the 5 million buyout
-
We need a really good solid game from Love. Also need both Kraft and Musgrave involved (i.e. getting passes thrown to consistently). Hoping we can stop their running game especially Sequan. Not thinking post concussion Jalen Hurts will be taking off as much. So often this year our team has been "off" and has never played a good to great 4 quarter game. Unfortunately I have a sense we lose by a couple of touchdowns. Just an aside: If we win the coin flip I REALLY hope LeFleur defers. I feel cautiously pessimistic.
-
What are you thinking about this weeks game against the Eagle's? What are some of the keys to the game? Do you think they will win by a whisper or lose by a pounding thunderstrom? Does Jordan Love connect with anyone over 40 yards? Does Jordan Love pass for more than 300 yards? Can we get pressure on Hurts? Does Barkley break 150 rushing yards against our D? Should we receive or defer?
-
I am luke warm PRO Profar coming to Milwaukee. Lot's of versatility and some wily veteran wisdom which would nest well with the youth of the Brewers. That being said I would strongly prefer jumping in head first and getting Alex Bregman. That would be an incredible move. Solidify third base and the entire infield. He is a winner. It is the longest of long shots but maybe just maybe they make a push from him. The winning culture of Milwaukee might be an attraction. Get Pat Murphy to recruit him. (Especially if he takes his grandkids with him on the visit) That signing would move the meter like the Yellich (trade) and Lo Cain signing did in 2018. Sweet Sweet Music to my ears!
-
Tyler Black is in a murky no mans position this year. He won't start and there is not outfield room for him. Not sure what to do with him.
-
I love speed. It's parallel toan on base percentage increase is worth noting in team building. I just remember the days of the Brewers having base cloggers which required an increase in batting average. Anyhow I enjoy athleticism and speed. ......... BUT also want a run producing third baseman. Happy New Year. Nice article!
-
Never really thought much about this. Very interesting scenarios. I would personally rather see them get a good defensive , run producing third baseman. Last one I think we had was Aramis Ramierez ... Leave Turang at second and move Ortiz to SS. Caleb Durbin could then be our super utility Brew Master. IF WE ONLY COULD TRADE Rhys Hoskins. That would be my dream scenario.
