No, the Brewers could not use an expensive negative WAR player.

Poor judgement

Reds888 called it a needle mover for them in 2024.

I had a dislocated kneecap. It hurts like hell.

That would be ideal. Our lineup seems setup well to make the playoffs with slightly above average hitters. The problem with that is it's difficult to make meaningful upgrades to make trades worth it. We have to hope that Yelich and Chourio play like All-stars. Unfortunately Contreras isn't the same because of the injury

Can we "trade" Koenig to the Sounds for Yoho?

Yelich looks to be the DH and emergency OF going forward. If that can keep him healthy and productive, so be it. We need him to be a good hitter.

Dorchies looks big (not just tall) compared to most 18 year olds. I think he will move through the system quickly.

Accountant 2 was a good movie. I enjoyed the witty dialogue and of course there was action.

McMahon is a little less appealing now that Durbin has shown elite defense himself

The system is loaded now....

That makes sense (HLH). If there is any team that can make him into a MLB catcher, it's your Milwaukee Brewers.

Alright, might as well fire this thing back up as I am a believer in our pitching. These moves would constitute as "going for it". These trades assume the teams involved are out of it by the deadline. Prospect huggers look away. Brewers: Suarez (BTV: 5.6) Dbacks: Boeve (BTV: 7.3) There will be competition for Suarez and our lineup could seriously use power. Boeve is a good prospect but we have a lot of guys that are similar to him. Brewers: Smith (BTV: 19.7) Rangers: Pratt (BTV: 22.4) I can hear the complaints already. Smith is cheap and cost controlled for a while. I like Pena and Made better as our future shortstops than Pratt. Smith fits our timeline well. Brewers: Buxton (BTV: 25.4) Twins: Ortiz (BTV: 13.6), Payne (BTV: 11.3), Wichrowski (BTV: 5.4) This assumes Buxton waives his NTC which obviously isn't a given. Buxton is an injury risk but the risk may be worth the reward. His contract fits in our budget. Frelick (RF) Chourio (LF) Suarez (3B) Yelich (DH) Buxton (CF) Contreras (C) Smith (SS) Hoskins (1B) Turang (2B) Bench: Durbin, Collins, Perkins, Haase The defense would suffer with this group a bit but I would switch out defenders at the end of the game when you hopefully have a lead. This would require Mark to push the budget a bit for half a season. We still have an incredible minor league system after these trades. Bites of the apple still in play....

I'm not sure who started at catcher over him at FSU but he must have been solid defensively.

I'm still a fan but Garrett may be made of glass.

You gotta be kidding me

Maybe Durbin will go the Sal route of development. Great defense, so so offense in year 1 and then the bat comes around in year 2.

Dig in and get these outs Bauers

The point is that 9 outs without a hit are much less likely than 3 outs so worrying about a combined no hitter shouldn't be on any managers mind.

Burnes pitched 8 innings. This game still has 3 innings to go.....

Now you're worried about a 7th inning combined no hitter? lmao

Right, love the second guessing after he gives up the homer. Never change Bfan game thread.

Contreras needs to go on the IL and get right

Gotta find a way to keep Collins in the lineup

He seems quirky to me.
