So because “disadvantaged” owner Mark Attanasio can’t afford the free agent price tag of *every* Brewer player with an expiring contract, (he can absolutely afford to be “loyal” to Adames in a vacuum), what should happen is that all Brewer players that we want to keep should show their loyalty to the Brewers by taking a massive haircut in pay relative to what their peers around the league make. Got it.
-
Nothing left in the piggy bank of the poor billionaires to afford him, apparently.
-
Don’t know what else to say, your excuses of team owners, and expectations of player loyalty over anything else to a professional baseball organization just because a player already has made millions aren’t rooted in any sort of reality, and there’s really no purpose in debating with that. If you feel the need to boo every player who leaves the Brewers over it, you do you, I guess.
-
So you think the Brewers couldn’t have afforded to pay Adames? Really? Also, at the end of the day, they are humans making a living professionally, not gladiators defending their homeland. The only confirmed offer that we know that the Brewers made was 1 year, $21.05M. He got 7 years, $182M from the Giants. Booing or criticizing a guy that his “loyalty” for his job wasn’t worth more than $161 million dollars is absolutely wild.
-
So our organization should have been loyal to Adames by offering him the same contract that another team did to keep him in his family, right? Or does it not work the other way around?
-
Don’t think it will happen, but I’ll be really disappointed with Brewer fans if Adames gets booed tonight.
-
I don’t anticipate either prospect being a 5-7 WAR player off the bat. I also don’t expect the Brewers to pay the free agency cost tag of a 5-7 WAR middle infielder.
-
Yup, my bad, Pena. And, yeah, I don’t know. Made is so young, but he’s already tearing up High A. I think if you look at the 2028 season, Turang has 2 years left of control at that point and Made would be 21 about a month into the season. That seems like about the sweet spot to me if he develops as swiftly as Chourio does, which looks highly possible. Too early to speculate, but I wouldn’t be surprised if both him and Pena were eventually approached about Chourio type long-term contracts. And I definitely anticipate one being the eventual replacement for Ortiz at SS.
-
I honestly don’t have a lot of precedence to back me up here, but the Crew also is known for frugal methods. If you look at Yelich being the richest contract in franchise history, it’s totally possible that Turang could end up exceeding that, if extended in a few years as he nears free agency. I just don’t know if they are going to be willing to go that far to retain him, especially when they’ll likely have some near MLB ready replacements in the pipeline. Now, it is possible that they go the Adames route and get all the use out of him as they can before letting him walk rather than dealing him? Yes, absolutely. But if you have Made and/or Pérez knocking down the door in 2 years, it probably makes them consider it.
-
Turang is going to get expensive soon. With the middle infield prospects they have coming up through the pipeline, I can see them moving on and looking to deal Turang in 2 years or so if they can’t reasonably extend him. I’m not saying I agree or disagree with it, but I think that’s just how they operate.
-
Very, very well said. Glad to have you here.
-
At the end of the day, we leave Chicago only a game worse than when we came in, 7 up versus 8 up. The Cubs needed every game worse than us, at least for divisional purposes. The Cubs needed craziness. We just needed a boring old non-disaster. Mission accomplished. Winning 2 of 5 on the road against probably a top 5 team in baseball in a series where a lot of things and bounces didn’t go our way, can’t be considered disappointing.
-
Boy, is your face red.
-
Awesome win. Was it the best series? No. Did they get what they needed out of it despite not the best of luck? Absolutely. The “posters here said they had no chance of winning” is a little bit of straw man, IMO. I don’t recall anyone but @Brewluversaying that, and he's a Cubs fan who wants us to think otherwise.
-
That was a long AB by Perkins before he K’ed. That’s about the most complimentary thing I can say about him right now.
-
Yeah he could use the work. And honestly, I think we want to be sure we lock this one down.
-
You scared me with this. I thought I was behind and Caissie hit a dinger.
-
Nice work Uribe!
-
Reading into everything. I never said otherwise. It indeed was a great AB by PCA. It just sucks that Uribe had to work so much and now there’s traffic on the bases in a 4-1 game. Thus, non-ideal start to the inning. Not everything is intended to be a slight to the Brewers.
-
@BCFthinks it’s a great way to start the inning, apparently
-
Walking PCA after an 11 pitch AB is a really non-ideal way to start this half inning.
-
C’mon Collins.
-
It’s good to have him back today.
-
As the guy criticizing Collins batting 2nd earlier in his slump , I need to tip my cap and say what a massive basehit by Collins in a key situation. That’s ROTY material right there.
