Jansen would be the sweetener to the ask.

And I Like the idea of trading to other small markets…If our prospects do well there, I feel ok….much more so than I would in a big market.

On the other hand, we can’t play all these “good” prospects in the MLB anyways! Might as well trade some for premium talent that can help immediately. Somewhere in the middle is the answer.

And bring up Fischer. A heat check on his bat would be nice t see.

Seems like Detroit wants a very good pitcher to send back as the headliner. I’d trade Gasser and Pena; that would be richer than most offers I’d think. If Henderson, then the minor league pieces get smaller, maybe Fischer and Ragsdale. And I’d like to do a Melvin where I say this is the package, don’t shop it, and get an answer right away. Offer these lucrative packages, get a quick response, and pivot to other players. I hate the idea of us waiting around to see if our prospect package is chosen when we could making other deals.

Listened to Nightengale yesterday…think it was him or Passan, just mentioning how several above avg SP are trade candidates now. The average team looking for a SP should be able to find one and the price is heading down. I was surprised at this but it made sense with so many American League teams under .500 and not playing well, even if only a few games out of wild card races. The strategy could be to just pick ten guys and find the best deal. We need a good arm or two.

And I'd love a good pitcher back with control for a couple more seasons...not a rental.

For this kind of arm with great results in 2026 and control for two more seasons after this one, I would tend to think the price would be high.... higher than Quero, Crow, and change. I think we'd have to add another top 20 piece of ours since the bidding is driving up prices with all the teams desperate for starting pitching.

Fine with Freddie coming back. I think it is a real possibility and that he would or could go solid 5 innings keeping us in games yet..

We obviously need a starter or two. Come now. This is a definite. And no one should be against this. And quality he should be…as in at least a part of a current rotation. Not a guy in his first or second year either. I fear we got a young staff that has some injury issues already and now they are in months 5 and 6. Don Sutton ala 1982 would be a find. I would like the team to have the same urgency of finding a good starting pitcher NOW, just as if Miz and Harrison are kinda hurt and their availability is a question mark. And sadly that is kind of true NOW. The question is how much losing early in playoffs because of lack of aggressiveness at the deadline would bother them. It would bother me more this year and I think the Brewers fans in general expect a big move this year because of the teams make up and the huge and ridiculous prospect pool that we have stored up.

Is it nuts to think one or both of Made/Fischer are call ups in September? This doesn’t mean they are on the team in March. Could be a big difference maker if we do not trade for a bat.

He’s the right handed 1B of 2027 to pair with some left handed rookie. It’s a great situation.

I just hate the idea of trading Frelick or Turang, no matter ho much sense it makes n the near future. They are just BRewers in every way, kind of like how Gorman was in the day..

More likely to start a little late and agree to kick the can down the road on certain topics.

I don't see this at all. If he continues to play well, he'll play more. It's just crammed with Bauers in the OF too, and I'm glad it's this way. Mitchell and Yelich could and probably will have more off days in August...or one will be hurt. I am glad Lara is up and getting the time that he is getting. When Sal and Lockridge both come back, then I get more concerned about who plays.
