I'd agree but that seems unlikely. -
I will not give in to being underwhelmed by the return. I will not give in to being underwhelmed by the return. I will not give in to being underwhelmed by the return. I will not give in to being underwhelmed by the return. I will no.... dammit.

Well.... ok, fine. Jesus I hate it when Jack Stern detonates my very strongly held opinions.

Honestly, they probably wouldn't spend the $, at least not right away. They could possibly add $ at the deadline if they're competitive, but I doubt they'd run out and spend the relatively modest savings they'd get by dealing Peralta.

Will The Brewers’ Winter Ever Heat Up?
BarremlensTSSC replied to Jason Wang's topic in Brewer Fanatic Front Page News
It will not. I mean, they haven't really added payroll in a few years now and Attanasio knows there's a lock out coming and a disruption in revenue streams. Never really had any hope they'd make any additions to payroll, which really only left the possibility of trades, likely with major league assets leaving the organization. -
The first one is probably the one I need to focus on. I was pissed at the Priester deal, mostly because of the comp pick and the inclusion of Yophery, whom I loved after watching him at High A, but it's hard to argue now.

No, The Brewers' Payroll Is Not A Problem

This is just ONE of the reasons why I love it here. You guys are awesome. -
No, The Brewers' Payroll Is Not A Problem
BarremlensTSSC replied to Frisbee Slider's topic in Brewer Fanatic Front Page News
Tying the report to speculation about Peralta getting dealt certainly robs it of credibility. I completely agree that the Brewers could certainly afford to open the year with their current payroll or even increase it... but I wouldn't be shocked at all if they found a way to reduce payroll prior to the start of the season. Attanasio is, I'm sure, planning for the 2027 work stoppage. -
Have to say I agree. It would have to be a massive haul for it to make any sense prior to the all-star break.
-
I just don't see Attanasio upping payroll a dime between now and the lockout in 2027. We'll see I guess, but I'm not holding my breath.

I honestly don't think workload matters all that much outside of the bullpen and catching positions. Contreras has shown signs of wearing down late in the year before and bullpen fatigue is so common it's basically a cliche at this point. But if guys like Turang and Frelick wore down, for example. while playing the same number of games in 2025 that they did in 2024 (Frelick actually played 3 fewer regular season games) that wasn't easy to predict and frankly is on them more than Murphy. Only other place I can see some room for judgment along these lines is Yelich due to his age and back, but it's a tough set of choices there too because Yelich is prone to stretches of ineffectiveness that don't appear related to fatigue.

Only way the Brewers extend Turang is if there's complete revenue sharing by 2029. In other words there's no way.
-
Just my opinion but I expect them to do very little, and certainly not a Hoskins level signing (he was ultimately disappointing but he was still a pretty major FA acquisition for a team like the Brewers). I don't think they'll significantly cut payroll but the savings on Quintana and Hoskins (and Woodruff's) departures will consumed by buyouts and higher salaries for some of the players in arbitration... and they'll bank the rest. Winter (i.e., a lockout) is coming, and the revenue loss from it is likely to be significant while the cost of management and non-union salaries and operating expenses at various facilities will remain payable during any stoppage. Attanasio seems likely to use any increase revenue this year to get through that stoppage. Again, just my opinion.

I guess we'll see but there is no historical evidence that the owners have the will to miss a full year of baseball. The 1994 strike cost MLB the entire 1994 postseason and the world series that year and lasted throughout the offseason, but in the end the owners caved and settled without the cap they had demanded. They lost about 33% of the 94 regular season and playoff revenues, and that was enough to force them to capitulate when the players made it clear they were willing to sit out the 1995 season. I personally don't think the owners are any better situated now than they were then. The primary difference is the value of their franchises relative to the expenses they'll incur regardless of whether they're paying players. They could tap those resources if they have to, but I don't think they will. It's going to be ugly when it comes, but I don't think there's any chance a plurality of owners will be up for a year of lost revenue, let alone the damage that may do to the value of their franchises.

Not at the start. But it is nice to think that there's a chance that Chourio won't be the only guy with elite bat upside on the roster in 12 to 18 months.
-
One thing to hang on to: Chourio has shown he can play against anybody. Not a shock, but it's still nice to see him confirm it again in the playoffs.
-
Nope. Pitching was actually pretty good until tonight.
-
I'll do what I always do: not watch and find out by osmosis even though I don't care/don't really want to know.
-
True. But the Brewers chase rate, which is wildly out of character, is at least in part on them
-
Some, yes. They aren't nearly as unhittable as the Brewers have made them look. (Outside of Snell in game 1. That was an obscene pitching performance.)
-
I guarantee you that Turang isn't mailing it in. He's a guy who either by nature or experience has determined that not showing emotion or allowing himself get caught up emotionally in his success or failure is part of what keeps him in his process and maximize his chances of success. That it doesn't work over a small sample doesn't mean he doesn't care. It's tough. Baseball is hard. And reacting emotionally to failure typically results in more failure, unlike some other sports.
-
Not when it mattered. There were years where it happened, particularly late in the year, but the competitive portion of their season were long over by then.
-
So, I don't want to be overly optimistic, but Chourio is still just at the surface of his potential, and Made has a chance at being a better hitter than anyone else on the roster currently. There's a decent chance that those guys will be on the roster together for 5 seasons.
