    And we would still be stacked in the minors….Ebels filling depth in infield. Made and Coop filling left side of IF for a decade?
  2. rickh150
    Tough to talk extension with Made when you have no idea where he can play defensively…. And his position SS is seemingly set in Milwaukee.
  3. rickh150
    ARozarena would be my choice …Put him 3rd in the order and the Skubal negativity mainly goes away, especially if they get Kirby too. The price? Steep. Pena, Fish, Letson, and a good milb outfielder? I would do that, yep. It would be steep, but would have Kirby for a couple more years and a great bat NOW in the middle of the lineup. Another righty bat to play OF. Lara and Lockridge would be moved down and maybe called up in Sept. Frelick would be in the mix too when healthy. I would jump at it if I Was Seattle……..bright future for 2027 + immediately.

    Kirby and Arozarena - Pena, Fish, Letson you get your bat and SP Lockridge and//or Lara head bac

    I think it will be just share all tv money, a reasonable floor, and a harsh luxury tax….idiots to miss all season. And a universal draft starting in like 2029.
  7. rickh150
    He could have been approached and asked where he’d prefer. That’s not a reach. My guess is that Detroit asked for teams best offers and used Dodgers as last team to top that offer. I’d do that since their well is deeper than all and could afford to give up their entire system. Also, Detroit could be equally sick of the MLB system and decided to do this to push the narrative to change the system.

    I also wonder how much of it simply was Skubal wanting to go to LA and not wanting to go elsewhere.
  9. rickh150
    Reminds me a bit of being disappointed when David Cone went to Toronto in 1992. Yet, we got opportunity yet to make a better deal here. And again I’m sort of glad this deal wasn’t made considering the price that would have been paid if it was Henderson, Pena, and Letson. Funny how the mind works, but I immediately thought about just bringing up Made and Fischer NOW and roll with it. And the line from Fresh Prince was in my random thoughts too…hadn’t watched the show in years…”Geoffrey, break out Lucille!”
  10. rickh150
    Yep. I agree with it all. If we win it all this year, it will be more impressive than their last three combined.
  11. rickh150
    Picking up a starter is still a goal, I hope. They need innings covered with all these young SP’s innings going up.
  12. rickh150
    How many were actually relieved? I was surprisingly relieved. I wanted a controlled pitcher back without the injury history this season. And still am glad we are not parting with some of our young starters. On the other hand, we could have beat this offer rather easily. We are not deep with top milb pitching. And that hurt a bit, I’m guessing.
  13. rickh150
    Jansen would be the sweetener to the ask.
  14. rickh150
    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.
  15. rickh150
    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.
  16. rickh150
    And bring up Fischer. A heat check on his bat would be nice t see.
  17. rickh150
    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.
  18. rickh150
    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.
  19. rickh150
    And I'd love a good pitcher back with control for a couple more seasons...not a rental.
  20. rickh150
    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.
  21. rickh150
    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..
  22. rickh150
    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.
  23. rickh150
    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.
  24. rickh150
    He’s the right handed 1B of 2027 to pair with some left handed rookie. It’s a great situation.
  25. rickh150
    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..
