The 40 man is currently at 39, so room for both Lara and Jett. Note that Badoo and Zastrynski will need a 40 man spot as they are on 60 right now. But they can make room (Rengifo, Perkins).

I cannot fathom the balls on Arnold that said No, previous year's all star William Contreras and Joel Payamps is not enough for Estuary Ruiz, you need to sweeten the deal and add in Justin Yeager.

The Contreras trade has to be the best, but that one might be 2nd.

I really like our rotation... Only thing we need is to upgrade SS and 3B. If only we had top 100 prospects doing well the last month in AAA that could be called up to fill that gap.

Should they PH Joey O for Rengifo?

And it was a high fastball. Is that his first hit this year of one of those?

His offensive outburst yesterday accounted for nearly 1/4 of his slug on the year (5 of 21 TB).

If Fischer can continue getting 4-hit nights, that will help keep his strikeouts down

I cannot even imagine what the trade value would be for Harrison right now. A 24 year lefty with 4 more years of control after this year. 3 top 100 prospects? I'd expect a much better return than Peralta

After the trade last year, I never would have thought I'd say I would miss Lockridge I was wrong. He's no superstar, but a good role player and a guy I would not mind playing everyday in short stretches. Too bad he's on the older side, so this is probably his peak year.

I don't have any problem with this statement. It can be argued of course, but Miz is definitely one of the most talented pitchers the Brewers have ever had. I'm reluctant for the Brewers to lock up Miz long term just because he is such a risky gamble with inevitable injury risk, but he has Cy young level talent. If there was a young pitcher you would want to sign long term, it would be that kind of talent.

Lara is a LH and they really needed an RH OF to hit vs lefties. So I get not calling him up. But I would have chose Jett. He's hit lefties well this year and has heated up in the past week. Jett could still use more time in AAA but Perkins has little value right now.

Jesus turns 19 today! Hard to believe how well he has produced in AA at 18 so far this year. Have to think he is on the Chourio path and will get promoted to AAA mid year with the shot of being on the opening day roster next year.

I was preaching small sample alert with Luis Lara early on but I feel he has surpassed that threshold now. 139PA of 970 OPS and 158 wRC+. His BB% and K% are both 12.9% and even his BABIP has dropped from well over .400 to a sustainable .358. His defense is exceptional. Are there any more red flags that this isnt real? Doubtful he can keep up this kind of power in the majors but it gives me hope he could be a 10-15 HR guy at his peak, which is way more than I expected. I dont really see a spot for him right now, but with Mitchell coming back to earth, it might not be long before he forces a decision to call him up. Have to think we would see him by June at this rate.
