    That's awfully misleading, considering his first 2 years his cap hits were 7M or less, and he only has a total of 3 years in the entirety of his contract where his cap number exceeds 48M. In '28 and '29 it doesn't exceed 35M. Relative to today's market he's definitely signed on a huge discount. They're cap hits that they'll never see because they'll be restructured, but they're only that high because the Chiefs have already benefitted from the most cap friendly years on the deal. Just like the Lions aren't going to have a 70M cap hit on Goff and the Packers aren't going to have a 74M cap hit on Love because both will be restructured later.

    James Paxton had a 4.43 ERA with the Dodgers this year and he just got DFAed. I hope they have more lofty expectations than that for Montas. A 2 month rental of a 5.00 ERA pitcher has almost no value in terms of what you'd give up for that.

    Then you must put almost no value on Wiemer as a prospect, because it would be crazy to give up 5 cost controlled years of any decent young outfielder for a rental of a veteran who you're just hoping to get lucky on if you think the OF is worth anything, whether he's currently blocked or not.

    On paper, this is as bad of a trade as I can remember in recent history. This is one of those where if you're going to say anything positive about it, it's basically that you'll just have to trust the organization on it because they've been right more often than not. We'll see.

    That trade is beyond awful. It's like the Reds' GM broke into Arnold's house, took a dump on his desk, grabbed a couple nice things and fled.

    Huge HR by Adames! Too early to say for this, but I wonder if Devin would become the interim closer again by default. ..

    Cumulatively the NL Central has the highest overall winning percentage in the NL. There are no powerhouses to be sure, but there are no pushovers either.

    He shouldn't be hitting as low in the lineup as he is. The more ABs, the better.

    There needs to be a scientific investigation into how we are in 1st place. I've never seen a 1st place late July team with so many holes.

    I could be wrong, and if I am, I'll give him my props for sure. But I have serious skepticism that any beat writer with only 4K followers in the Detroit metro area really has anything other than a desire to stir up clicks.

    The following sequence of events is a perfect summation of exactly what it is like to be a Brewer fan on the eve of the MLB trade deadline: - "Cardinals acquire Fedde" - "Yankees discussing Jack Flaherty" - "Brewers place their closer on the injured list"

    Yes, but those kind of contract restructures are pretty standard everywhere as works best for the organization and often even outside the own player's control. What I'm saying is that if he wanted to ask the organization to completely re-do his deal to put his AAV at the front of the line after all these new deals, he probably could.

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/07/lucas-erceg-drawing-significant-interest.html I must be living in a cave. I had no idea Lucas Erceg not only did make it all the way to the majors as a pitcher but is finding quite a bit of success as one.

    Thing is though I don't think there's going to be a bigger piece acquisition. I don't think we'll do it (sounds like he's going to the Cardinals) but I doubt we'll have a bigger get than that.

    I still don't know how the Chiefs got Mahomes to agree on a 10 year deal when all these other QBs are doing 4-5 years. Different time and market, I know, but that's already looking insanely team-friendly, can't imagine what it'll look like in 5 years. Really he could force them to renegotiate anytime but it doesn't sound like he's ever going to.

    They almost certainly aren't going all-in this year, next year, or in 2026. When is the last time the Brewers did go all-in? 2008 with CC Sabathia? 2011 with Greinke? It just hasn't been their organizational approach post-Doug Melvin and almost certainly will continue that way. The closest move was Christian Yelich but that was a long-term move for a controllable cornerstone, not a short-term all-in move. We can like it for the fact that we're usually in the postseason, or hate it for the fact that we haven't broken through beyond that, but the Brewers organizational philosophy is to assemble a good enough roster, year after year, to make the postseason, and hope for luck to be on our side for once. I don't see that changing. That doesn't mean we will never trade prospects for proven players, or even rentals, but gutting the farm type moves that we saw 12-15 years ago; no, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

    If it makes things any easier, the rest of the division has also decided to suck right now.
  18. adambr2
    I'm not disagreeing, but there will likely never be a year to do so. There will probably never be a year where we can realistically be the NL favorite. We can be good enough to win our division and hope to get hot and lucky at the right time. That's about it.

    Turang might be under a .600 OPS by season's end at the rate he is cratering.

    That postgame meeting between the girl and Hoskins just got a huge damper put on it this inning.
  21. adambr2
    Great call, Pat. Pushing some amazing buttons this inning.
  22. adambr2
    That will always be Matt Garza. Man could fire a routine comebacker into the 8th row behind 1st base.
  23. adambr2
    Caught a break there. That wasn't indisputable from any angle we saw.
  24. adambr2
    This is an absolute clown show.

    If you want to win MLB games, these are plays that need to be made.
