Is there any reason that Counsell has twice this series elected not to walk the NL version of Mike Trout with a lefty on deck against a lefty pitcher? Really really lucky that that swing by Tatis resulted in only 1 run and not 3.
-
Just for clarity, Goff does not have an opt out for 2023. The potential out listed on Spotrac is for the team if they cut him.
-
I think he just continues to collect the salary from the contract we signed him to whether he's pitching for the Timber Rattlers or Brewers. No new contract needed. Unless someone else claimed him and his contract on waivers (unlikely).
-
So he's not really going anywhere. Just gets him off the 40 and to Nashville. Probably not a bad thing. Stretch him out I guess. I'm surprised he would accept an assignment to Nashville. But I assume he doesn't have the service time to reject an outright assignment without forfeiting his salary.

Yes, but getting a decently paid QB back in return is probably the easiest way to make the financials work this offseason....then you could always flip that QB elsewhere the next offseason if you really wanted to hand the keys to Love in 2022. Right, I think it's almost a necessity in these deals. In the Raiders' example for instance, the Raiders are not paying Derek Carr 40M to be a backup for the next 2 years. So they either cut him (highly unlikely), they can trade him separately (somewhat more likely, but still unlikely), or they include him in the deal to us. The only type of deal where a team wouldn't necessarily give us a QB back was if they had a young QB that wasn't necessarily working out the best but the other team wanted to keep as a cheap backup on a rookie deal. A Daniel Jones or Drew Lock, perhaps.

Maybe Rodgers' absence from OTAs which he has always attended has nothing to do with the huge rift between Rodgers and the organization which has been hinted at since January and became huge news for the last month plus - that is some next level optimism. :) Well done, sir.
-
And frankly, while I don't begrudge a player trying to get all he can get, you'd think that a guy who has made several hundred million in his career and hasn't been to a Super Bowl in over a decade and is pushing 40 would have priorities that put winning first. You can see the difference late in their careers between Rodgers and guys like Brady, Manning and Brees as to what was most important to them. And you taking more money makes it hard for us to put winning first. Go ahead and take it if you want it all, you've earned it -- but don't piss and moan later when we don't have the dough for Julio Jones or Kenny Golladay.

It's not a "year to year" contract. We're literally just one year into the extension that he signed less than 3 years ago, he's still 3 got years on it with large base salaries and the cap hit to get rid of it right now would be massive. The extension made him the highest paid player in NFL history at the time, and now it's been surpassed, as it goes. As I mentioned before, I didn't see Peyton Manning renegotiating after he won MVP in 2013. Yes, contracts aren't rigid in the NFL but tearing it up and starting over every time you outperform your market value isn't how it works either. So we give Rodgers 45M, he wins MVP, Lamar Jackson wins the Super Bowl and gets 50M, are we going back to the negotiating table again?

Yardley reinstated……Taylor to Nashville
adambr2 replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
We have numerous relievers on our 40 man roster that are poor enough to be DFAed, namely Lindblom and Yardley. Unfortunately, the system isn't loaded with better options to replace them. -
We've pulled Burnes just over 80 pitches before in close games. Now in this, a lost game, we're going to hang him out to dry. Plenty of bad relievers on this roster who can go chew up a few meaningless innings, don't need to waste Burnes' arm for that.
-
I would have definitely walked Tatis to set up a double play chance versus Hosmer.
-
Don't really have any confidence in us winning this one.
-
I really don't know what to expect when/if a Nets series takes place. We're certainly not the Celtics, but the Nets are a lot better than the Heat.
-
Some lousy swings on 3-1 tonight.
-
I'd sure like to see us get him out of there this inning At 52 pitches and he hasn't given up a hit? I wish.
-
Don't recall hearing a lot of bickering about his contract not matching his play from Peyton Manning after 2013.
-
Free passes. They'll come back to get you.
-
So stupid. So. Stupid.
-
On a 1-2 pitch. Ugh.
-
Seriously, MLB umps are so bad.
-
Shaw is not good.
-
No offense. None taken.
-
The basic complaint as far as I can tell (if it's not money): 1) Organization had wheels in motion to replace Rodgers after...'21? '22? 2) Rodgers had MVP year much improved from '19 forcing organization to reconsider immediate future plans of organization. 3) Rodgers says "screw you, you didn't want me at my worst so now you can't have me at my best."
-
Aaron Jones was asked today about Rodgers not returning and in contrast to Adams saying he might have to re-think his future in Green Bay if Rodgers is gone, Jones said it wouldn't have influenced him re-signing one way or the other.
-
And if this is about money that's ridiculous. If you're hurt about other guys making more than you, get over yourself. That has always been a thing. You get a new contract, you're the top dog for a little bit and then after a couple years your contract is outdated and other guys end up getting bigger deals. If you don't like it then sign 1 year deals rather than mutli year deals with big guarantees. He didn't seem to have much issue with his contract or salary after a couple lackluster seasons in '18 and '19.
