I dont see Black or Baddoo playing for the Brewers and they are both on the 40 man. How many guys would have to be hurt before Black is called back up? Anyways, both those guys can be removed and Fish or Adams can be called up.

Organization Loaded more at SS/3B than any other team in baseball....and more than any time in Brewers 56 year history. Hamilton, Bae, and Vaughn....Just nuts.

And also the reasons why Made/Fish wil not be considered. I'd like to hear it and not just assume.

Someone in the Brewers media day to day ask about this, please! No Adams? No Fish? I mean, let's get Murphy or Arnold to state the state of the infield and address why current minor leaguers are not trusted to play backup here a week or two.

Yep...what is going on? How much of this kind of stuff is happening? Is this a big deal to Made/Boras or not?

Adams maybe gets a shot if Ortiz is out for a while. Will be interesting.

Pratt hit .241/.735 in 58 games in Nashville this year. I think it’s possible that elite type athletes could make adjustments and rise to the occasion. Plus, I really don’t want to want to live in a world where we are content with our 3B play when the #1 MLB prospect is sitting there to help us, along with another 1st round pick hitting about 40 HRS.

Question #1 If Made can help us in a pennant race, why not bring him up now? Much like the Skubal criticisms, the bold question should be asked because perhaps he could help the team NOW. Whether it’s tomorrow or Sept. 1, I think we want our best guys like Made on the team, and if that hurts us in 2031 or 2032 with new CBA rules so be it. The Assumption is that he isn’t ready and we are holding off bringing him up to maximize his value when he does play here. Question #2 Where will Made play in the MLB? I know it’s SS now. But the defensive questions of if he can play MLB SS well, if he can play 2B or 3B well, and if playing regularly elsewhere are personal issues for him. Whether he plays with us this year or next, it will be interesting to see if Made pushes Pratt to 3rd or if it’s Made 2B, Turang SS, and Pratt 3B. The Assumption is that he won’t be playing SS because Cooper is better defensively there. Question #3 Has Made been offered a long contract extension? I just wonder how much Pratt’s playing SS now in Milwaukee is tied to his willingness to sign that deal. And vice versa. If Made turned down some sort of offer, how much did that affect his 2026 plans, his age notwithstanding. The Assumption is that no offer has been given. Question #4 Could injury or multiple infield injuries push Made up this season? I have no idea what is assumed here. Probably no, I would guess. ****Personally, I would be open to bringing him up, much like the Nationals’ Soto was brought up in 2019. I think September is ideal and could be a shot in the arm the team needs then. If not Made, then Fischer.

Play him and Yelich needs to sit a bit….lets be real, Pat.

Threw 4 pitches on Wed….

I assume he was going to pitch 2 innings and gave up 2 runs instead…still think he is a valuable pick up.

I think that one was on Murphy. If you polled the crowd, everyone would have pulled Drohan earlier…just getting smoked around with hard contact.

PCA is $19.17 per year for 6 years with no club options and escalator to $133 Chourio is $10.25 per year for 8 years with two club options at $25 mil per. Chourio with a much better contract.

Ross should say Cubs lost Game 5 a bunch and that if HE was managing, things would be different. That would make up for the discussion.

Hedge 😃

Hate it when fans brag when it goes against team....

Murphy sad because he can't go to Yoho.

Chourio’s contract is about half of PCA whiner….so that plays in this too.

We just don’t know all the details……did the Tigers ask for the teams’ best offer or not? But not having a pitcher in the offer with three hitting prospects, not a smart move. You knew they asked for pitching back. . Detroit might just say not dealing with you because you couldn’t listen to basic instructions.

Tigers did this sooo early. Just looks odd, especially with a rather light package coming back. The Brewers can’t control what the Tigers do, even with a prospect package that was better.

If the Tigers came to the Brewers and emphasized how they wanted a good, controllable starting pitcher back as a part of a package….and we sent back a package of 3 top hitters (Made, Fish, and Frias), I can understand why the Brewers were not taken seriously, even though we say that package is way better than the Dodgers. It could all be that the Tigers wanted Henderson and when the Brewers said no, then there was no use to go forward with this. It would be great to hear the real story of this all, but no way did the Brewers think this deal was going down two days before the deadline….feels like the Brewers were ready to dance around with the Tigers a bit with prospect packages and the Tigers weren’t, possibly because of Skub’s desire to go to the Dodgers and the Dodgers willingness to give them guys asked for initially.

Or they pitch with seven at times….wouldn’t surprise me.

It would be equal to 2022 selling Hader. Getting nothing would be toxic. I like the Seattle deal I listed….would be tough for a below .500 team to pass up. And almost perfect for us.

Wouldn’t a great bat be almost better than anything else now? And throw in Made at 3B down the stretch? Check that lineup out! Chourio RF Turang Arozarena LF Bauers 1B/ Vaughn Contreras C Yelich DH/Vaughn Mitchell CF/ Lara Coop Made 3B/Ortiz

Maybe that’s filler for what they will be giving up….tough to be big buyers when sitting below .500. But I hear ya.
