    I really hope Cleveland goes out in Game 5 in the first round, after their catchers go 1 for 20 in the playoffs and they lose on a passed ball. I think that would be enjoyable. Or on an extra inning HR by Lucroy with the Red Sox or Astros or Rangers. That would be outstanding. Maybe Boston or Texas will be motivated by the Miller trade enough to look at acquiring one of our relievers + Lucroy in response. It's possible.

    Why would the Brewers balk at the option being eliminated? If he's traded, I'm sure they couldn't care less about whether or not he has a team option for next season.

    Sounds like a really horrible way to treat one of your longest tenured players who has outplayed his contract and been payed well under market value his entire career. Obviously every player wants to win; obviously there are other factors coming into play. I can't believe anyone would want Lucroy benched for exercising something in his contract that both him and US agreed to. It would be like Lucroy refusing to play next year because we exercised his team option.

    Not only was Cleveland unwilling to offer any sort of financial compensation to compensate for the waiver, they wouldn't even guarantee that he would be their starting catcher next season.

    Obviously Lucroy saying 'I don't care about the money', doesn't look good now, but he had every right to exercise his NTC. It was his leverage play and he used it. It might not even be over. Maybe they offer to add a couple million to his option and the Brewers pay the extra and he accepts.

    So getting nothing will be better? Do you really think a better deal is coming along in the next 24 hours? no but a single "A" catcher as a headliner is insulting..IF he worked out fine..but he's 20..be years before the rebuild is final at that point. Nothing sayin a comp pick couldn't work out just as well as Mejia. To not get any stud pitching back for him was ridiculous. Stearns just got saved by Luc. I told you all to stop wanting "multiple" players back...take the one for one stud and be done with it..maybe you can't get that, but this deal was insulting..market or no market. Good grief...who is the one theoretical 'stud' that was available? Who is the sure thing ace lighting it up in AAA that Stearns turned down?
  7. adambr2
    Yep. And it included a no trade clause. He has just as much of a right to exercise it as we do to exercise his team option next year.

    A comp pick has nowhere near the value of what we would have received.

    Better unlock the Lucroy trade rumor thread again, huh?
  11. adambr2
    Holy smokes.

    He's an almost 26 year old reliever that walks a bunch of guys. In other words, I think nothing of him. The more I think about this deal the more pissed off I get. We had one asset that we needed to hit a home run with and at best we beat the shift and dribbled a double down the line. You just said the other day that we needed to take the best deal that we could for Lucroy right now no matter what it was. What if this was the best deal we could get?
  13. adambr2
    What could Stearns have done differently? I think we can all agree he took the best offer available to him. So the only card he could have played would have been to hold firm and test Lucroy's market again in the offseason or next year's deadline. He then would have risked injury, decline, or Lucroy's market not improving, which there's a good chance it wouldn't have with even less control later. I can't blame him for not taking that chance. Well we both don't know the other deals out there so we don't know what he turned down or asked for. Mejia's upside is Lucroy at his peak. The other guys are redundant. So IF this was the best deal out there, you don't trade him. While we don't know what the other offers are, I think we can pretty well assume that Stearns did not pass up a more favorable offer. That would make no sense. You say that about Mejia like it's a bad thing. I think we can all agree if he turns into another Lucroy that we'd b pretty happy, having him for 6+ years at the MLB level instead of 1 1/2 years of non-contention. I disagree that it would have been better not to trade him. This deal certainly has more value than a comp pick.

    I am going to be disappointed if we don't find a way to trade at least 1 or 2 relievers by tomorrow.
  16. adambr2
    I'm still fine with what we got if McKenzie is the 4th piece, but that seems unlikely.
  17. adambr2
    It appears our new draft strategy should be to target nothing but 2 pitch power relievers and then trade them a few years later.
  18. adambr2
    The Lucroy deal falling through would be terrible. The Brewers got some good players for him, including a guy who could be his replacement in a few years. I would imagine the chances are slim that the deal both gets cancelled AND the Brewers are somehow able to turn around and get a better haul for him. They did last year with Gomez. But I would rather shop Lucroy later in the offseason or next year than go back to the Mets and take a deal centered on D'Arneau.
  19. adambr2
    Who would have thought that the Yankees would ever be the most shrewd sellers of the deadline? They're making out like bandits just with 2 relievers.
  20. adambr2
    If Lucroy wouldn't wave his NTC, not much you can do. If the Indians let a deal with Lucroy fall apart to get Miller, they are really dumb.
  21. adambr2
    Why oh no? Dries up the relief pitcher market, when there are still teams with a need and we still have pieces to offer. Unless you're thinking the Lucroy trade will fall apart as a result.
  22. adambr2
    I would guess that him and his agent have already spoken about what their requirements would be (if any), and his agent probably has permission to act on his behalf.

    I remember years ago when a poster here scooped Braun getting called up for the first time before any such information was available anywhere else online. And they ended up being right. Ya never know. Some do have inside information. Some just want people to think they do. It doesn't take long to figure out which is which.
  24. adambr2
    Board reputation staking post.
  25. adambr2
    Ready to trade Lucroy to the Nationals or Marlins for whatever they'll give us just to spite the Mets. It may be not be the best option, but it might be the most enjoyable.
