  1. I find it hard to believe that it will be Patrick starting Wednesday on 3 days rest. It would be a normal rest for Crow and they skipped Gassers start. Will it be one of them? Thoughts?
  2. I saw SI had a proposed trade that would bring in 3B Alec Bohm for SP Logan Henderson and SS Cooper Pratt. Yuck.
  3. I have a feeling that Leonard will get the nod to start the season as the starting 3B. It will come down to how all the possible options perform during spring training. Leonard could hold the spot until one of the prospects (Wilkins, Adams, Pratt, Williams...) show they are ready at AAA. Much like what they did with Durbin last year. There wouldn't be a huge loss if Leonard doesn't do well like Capra and they have to DFA him. The interesting part will be how they divide up the reps at 3B at AAA giving those players a good look at the position. With the pending 2027 season (lockout), I can't see the Brewers bringing up Made or Fischer in 2026. Not knowing how 2027 pans out, I wouldn't want to waste a year of service for those two if only 40 games are played. No sense in starting the clock on them. Plus, who knows how the CBA will shake out regarding how long teams have control of players. Too big of an unknown.
  4. I’m not sure how the pending possibility of a lockout will affect things next offseason. Will free agent signing and trades come to a complete halt? For instance, why would you sign anyone to a one year deal if the season will be minimal. it may be difficult to trade Contreras next offseason. Who’s going to give up controllable prospects for a let’s say 50 game season? im also thinking this is another reason to have traded Peralta now. Free agency could be minimal. Under the terms of the CBA, the Brewers may not even been eligible to recoupe the draft pick. just too many unknowns in 2027.
  5. I'm getting the feeling that if Peralta is traded to the Mets, Baty will be part of the trade. Really hoping he isn't the main piece.
  6. I agree with the others saying the Brewers cannot afford paying a pitcher $30M per year. Now if it were 3yrs / 90M instead of 5yrs / 150M, then possibly I could see that. Especially if the 90M included reachable insentives to get it to 90M. That would ensure he’s healthy for the 3yrs. Regardless if I’m Peralta, I would want to cash in long term with the next contract. The Brewers aren’t the ones who are going to be able to do that. Or shouldn’t. Now what’s more valuable? One year of him at 8M plus a compensation pick. Or, what you could get trading him now. Personally, I would hold out with the Mets until I could get Benge and another piece or two.
  7. Intriguing. But I’m not so sure the Brewers would get the draft pick compensation for Jazz leaving in free agency. Would they want to put the qualifying offer on him. Especially heading into a year where there might be a lock out. Not sure how free agency is going to work with that looming. Is it going to make it better or worse for adding payroll with that possibility coming. and if they are sending a Wilkins and Payne, I would hope there would also be some money coming the Brewers way.
  8. I’ve had this thought for quite some time. Brewers receive: Ryan & Buxton Twins receive: 1. Pena (or Pratt) 2&3: Any two P not named Peralta, Woodruff, Miz, Preister, or Uribe. 4: OF not named Frelick or Chourio. 5: Mears
  9. I’d like to think Adams or Wilkins would be on the roster by then.
  10. That's why it's a wish list 😊 If you can't get someone of that caliber, my view is you keep the player.
  11. I agree. I also see this as a win-win situation. The QO is a big number, but not big enough for a one year commitment.
  12. I believe there are two things that can be totally counted on happening. 1. The Brewers exercise the option on Peralta for $8 million. 2. Woodruff declines his mutual option and collects the $10 million. With those, the question becomes does the Brewers extend the qualifying offer to Woodruff. I say a definite YES. Now $22 million is a lot to pay him on top of the $10 million, but that's kind of the going rate for starting pitchers. If he accepts the QO (which I do not think he will), the Brewers have their veteran piece of the rotation for 2026. This gives the Brewers the option of trading Peralta. I would only be in agreement for that if the deal meets or exceeds their asking price for him. They would have to get a great package back to break-up the top of the rotation. What I think would happen is that Woodruff does not take the QO and ventures into free agency. The Brewers then hang onto Peralta for the upcoming season. This would net the Brewers a couple more draft picks over the next two seasons while definitely going on a youth movement behind Peralta in the rotation.
  13. Josh Smith has been a player I would like to see them acquire for a while now. At worst, he's a platoon partner for Durbin. I'd rather have him on the roster than Mona. I'm sure it would have to be pitching going to the Rangers. Not sure if it would have to include someone like Myers or if they could go a little deeper into the prospect pool.
  14. What would be wrong with giving Zamora a chance? Other than having to open up a spot on the 40 man.
  15. I’d like to see them pick up Nicky Looez. For now they could send Ortiz to AAA and go with a Capra / Lopez platoon. If Capra doesn’t improve, release him and bring back Ortiz.
