    I'm not sure Henderson going on the IL is fortunate. We still have plenty of depth but I'd rather have Henderson than Tobias going tonight.

    This paragraph from above needs repeating (maybe bolded, highlighted, sprinkled with sparkles...) 😄
  3. ClosetBrewerFan
    Yeah. I agree it sucks we have so many good hitters.😉
  4. ClosetBrewerFan
    We need to be singing the praises of Perkins much like we have been doing for Vaughn and Collins. Just amazing
  5. ClosetBrewerFan
    "Brewers legend", Andrew Vaughn

    Never a doubt

    Austin has good K numbers, but just too many walks. He just turned 27 and looks like he will be a minor league free agent at the end of the year.
  9. ClosetBrewerFan
    I'm glad Mona is doing well. He is a fun guy to root for. Just a team player.
  10. ClosetBrewerFan
    It has been amazing. Small sample but, Vaughn, Perkins, and Lockridge have all outhit the players they replaced (Hoskins/Bauers, Frelick, Chuourio). Hope they can keep this up.

    I think the league figures that this doesnt harm anyone really. If the player was against it (as in a completely fake injury), he could file a grievance with his union. In this case it probably does hurt Miz but he might be able to play through it, but why would he if he can get a 15 day rest and not risk further injury.

    Dominant win. Go Brewers!
  13. ClosetBrewerFan
    They only have 7 runs today. I only watch when they score in double digits. ....make that 8 runs.

    Ethan Murray to AAA. He may be our best hope as depth for Ortiz this year. Eduardo Garcia moves up to take his place making room for Adamczewski in A+. It would also be nice to see Jadyn and Handelfry in low A if they can make room. Maybe even Nadal who has come on late in the season. As for pitchers, Biloxi is a little light, so it would be nice to see one or two of the older pitchers in Wisconsin get promoted (Rund, Root, Gillis)

    Brewers are not saving any money. Padres will only owe Cortes the prorated MLB minimum salary over the remainder of the season, as the Brewers will be covering the remainder of the approximately $2.4MM owed to Cortes.

    In 2021, Brandon was the Yankees #20 prospect per MLB - two higher than Mr. Seigler. His scouting grades were: Scouting grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 50 | Run: 75 | Arm: 45 | Field: 60 | Overall: 45 So clearly speed and defense is his calling card. The power grade is surprising. He showed more power early in his career but little power since. Let's see what the Brewers can do with him.

    KC Hunt is a UDFA from 2023 that is 24 year old in AA with a 4.80 ERA. People here still seem high on him. I really wanted Castro but I would not give up Hardin and Hunt for him (assuming my comp is reasonable)
  18. ClosetBrewerFan
    This states that the Brewers get no salary relief in the Cortes trade. Padres will be paying the prorated minimum salary for Cortes (and presumably so will the Brewers with Lockridge when he is in the majors). Wow. The Brewers must sure love Lockridge. After all my complaints about the Civale and Priester trades. I'll withhold my complaints for now. They must see something in him that is worth an overpay.
  19. ClosetBrewerFan
    The Cubs gave up two pitchers for Willi Castro. Ryan Gallagher and Sam Armstrong both in AA and are fast movers. Ryan drafted last year and Sam in 2023. I know very little about them but looking at the stats it feels like Brewer comparables would be Hardin and Hunt. That's a lot to give up for a couple months of Willi Castro. Not sure I would do that.
  20. ClosetBrewerFan
    They could have just waived him. Someone may have claimed him. But he apparently had negative value.
  21. ClosetBrewerFan
    I can buy this argument. But that definitely supports the Brewers being cheap. So they had no room in the payroll at all? We are only talking about few million increase. What about all the sellouts they have had recently, particularly the weekday Miz starts. We are not investing that into this roster? I clearly overvalued Cortes. I hope I am underselling lockridge.
  22. ClosetBrewerFan
    He is a 18 year old SS with a 752 OPS. That isn't nothing. I would not trade him for Lockridge
  23. ClosetBrewerFan
    Note we also have to clear two 40 man roster spots for Lockridge and Miller. Cortes and Montgomery were both on 60 day IL so that is no impact. Means we need to expose two players on our 40 man roster.

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/07/padres-acquire-nestor-cortes.html Yeah, this makes no sense. We had to trade a decent prospect to get rid of Cortes??!!? Even MLBTR is confused as they thought Quintana is coming back to us.
  25. ClosetBrewerFan
    Montgomery was on a $22.5M deal, which is roughly $7.5M remaining. Brewers saved roughly $2.5M on Cortes, so they grew payroll by ~$5M to get Shelby. That's some creative maneuvering.
