    Two things seem clear... 1) The two sides in this discussion will never agree on this. 2) The Brewers wouldn't risk the backlash for signing him. I'd support locking this thread because it's irretrievably off the rails.

    I feel that this is far more important than you're giving it credit for. If Adames is traded, he could win the starting SS job. If all else were equal, the additional positional versatility of being a good defensive option at three positions, rather than just two for Turang, is a plus. But I'm not even convinced about the "if all else were equal". Of course, as you say, he needs to prove it...

    I'd be all over the Cleveland for Adames one, if it were actually offered. The Brewers would love a SP with some potential in the deal and Will Dion seems like he's just that, Cade Smith seems like a good bullpen arm ready to help right now, and Jaison Churio - while not being the talent his brother is (right now), has intriguing potential. I would, however, be shocked if they were to get that much for one year of Adames. As for the rest? I'm a little underwhelmed. Of course, I'm not an expert in the prospects from other teams, nor do I know what the market for either of these guys really is (and it might not be as big as my biased mind thinks it should be)...

    It really makes no difference to the Brewers if he gets hurt or not. I'm not disagreeing with you though. The Brewers chances of winning it all, even with Burnes, were slim at best, and their chances of being able to afford him in Free Agency were nil. Under those circumstances, trading Burnes made far too much sense for it to not happen. If you subscribe to that perspective (as, I think, we both do), the only question is the return, Last night, I hated it. I really wanted Mayo in the deal. This morning, I'd changed my mind. I still wanted Mayo, but a high-ceiling LH (hopefully) starting pitcher, a gold-glove calibre SS who slashed .321/.378/.507 at AAA last season and, effectively, getting the comp pick they would have gotten for Burnes a year early isn't a bad return for one year of Burnes. It helped me to remember that with Hoskins being signed, and Black likely making the team this year, the need for Mayo wasn't as great as it had been. Plus trading Adames along with a surplus OF could help bolster the pitching a little... 🙂

    I can't believe that no-one has even mentioned that Nomo put on a racing sausage costume, and ran in the sausage race during a game! 😂

    LOL... what part of "I'm tired of waiting" didn't you get...? 😉 Seriously though, other than Black, they're a few years off aren't they? I get that Black is highly thought of, but I'm old enough to think of 3B as a position that provides average or above-average power. Black feels like his ceiling profiles to a Jeff Cirillo type. Mind you, if he reaches that level, it's hardly the worst thing... Of course, if Mayo doesn't stick at 3B, then I reserve the right to change my entire argument to wanting a 1B with power, average and OBP. 😜 Thanks for the welcome!

    In any event, I'd still take him. If he doesn't make it at 3B, he's still (likely) a big upgrade at 1B. They'd need to get some pitching along with him, of course. Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it!

    It's been over a decade since the Brewers had a third baseman that I could feel good about for the following few years. I'm tired of waiting, and I don't feel confident in the current candidates. Colby Mayo has to be included... Of course, knowing my luck, they'd trade for him and move him to 1B... 😂
