I think it would be wise to give season ticket holders a discount on concessions. For me, I will only go to one or two a games a season so I don't mind spending a few bucks.

Other than making it yourself, where else are you going to find a slice of pizza less than $3?

This whole thing is intriguing, and really only makes any sense if there are a lot of moving parts. Braun is our LF for the next 3-4 years. He's not going anywhere, so put an "X" there. Brinson and maybe Phillips go to Miami to get Yelich, locking up RF for the next five seasons. Cain gets signed, locking up CF for the next 4 seasons. Our OF is then more "proven," but also older and more expensive. That would seemingly get made up by trading away Santana for a team-controlled SP and/or 2B, and that would hopefully be a serious upgrade (with a lot of team control) in an area(s) of need. If we get a 2B, then we probably look to trade at least one of Villar/Perez/Sogard, even if that just gets us some teen-aged "lottery chips." If we get a SP, especially if we also sign a FA, then we potentially look to trade Woodruff as we would have a full MLB staff with guys like Burns and Ortiz getting ready to make the move to the majors. I don't know if this will work out, and it's something I wouldn't have imagined a couple of weeks ago, but it could turn us into a legitimate playoff contender for the next half-decade with just the guys on the MLB roster, while maintaining a lot of talent in the lower minors who will be ready to step up in the next couple of seasons, hopefully extending this out so it's not a "window," but a sustainably good team. Of course, the concern (if all of this does come together) is that we could have a lot of money in a few seasons going to guys in their mid-30's (Braun, Cain, Darvish/Arrieta/Cobb) and that could blow up on us. The hope would probably be that some of our remaining minor leaguers would be able to step in over the next few seasons to bring down the payroll and fill in if some of the older guys are declining. Of course, if Stearns is doing all of this now, he will not sit on his hands in the future, so anything I can dream up now will look completely different 12-24 months from now. I was thinking the same exact thing with the only difference being trading for Abreu from the Sox. I am not sold on Thames/Aguilar.

Hey man, if you are going to claim to be an insider, but provide vague info, you have to expect skeptics. I'd love to see Yelich as much as anyone here. But your posts are getting a lot of fans' hopes up around here in what's been a slow as molasses offseason. I hope you are right, but I guess nothing would surprise me at this point. Providing very specific information is how you lose any sources you may have. Please put him on ignore rather than push away this kind of information.

I (as well as many others) appreciate the information!

Let me know what apps you use where you can watch all of the same channels. I am considering it if it isn't too big of a pain.

If you do not believe his information, just ignore it. I have found that too many naysayers ruin getting information.

Can you say if the deal is just for Yelich or would they be sending more?

Cubs fans talking lots of trash... shocked https://www.northsidebaseball.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1914&start=425

Stearns sounds like he is really committed to improving the outfield defense. Trading Santana would likely do that.

Has there ever been a Bfan thread that brought in so many new members? Welcome.

I've honestly never even heard his name, and i'm fairly tuned in. Can't imagine what the general Bucks fan thinks of hearing he's the coach. If you have never heard of him, you are the general Bucks fan.

Anyone think that the prospect(s) we would be getting for Ellsbury would be going to Miami for Yelich?

Do you think players would get rid of the arbitration system to move to NFL type contracts?

I am sure you could had time to put together a post that big with your 6000 posts.

How much would we sign Kyle Davies for and what would happen to Zach? How much would we sign Marcus Thames for and what would happen to Eric?

How would you like to see the arbitration system changed? (sorry if this thread hasn't gotten a lot of traction as there is a lot of activity in the Trade forum)

Would have been nice but there are a lot of other options out there.

Yes we do, your post is bizarre.

That could be the end of any chance we have of landing Darvish. Too perfect that the freaking Cubs will be the ones to end that dream. If that were true, Darvish would have said no to the Brewers right away as we have both of our catchers signed.

I just got back from Vegas last night and the Golden Knights are incredibly popular there.

Signing Darvish and trading for Salazar would deplete the farm system? He also had us trading for Archer. Nope, he had 2 out of the 3 on the list.....

Kipnis' value with his contract and age is negative. I think we can do better than that trade for Santana and I am no Santana fan.

This is EXACTLY how small market teams have to do it. Otherwise you will just be continually used as leverage.
