    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)
  2. 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.

    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.
  4. ClosetBrewerFan
    They could have just waived him. Someone may have claimed him. But he apparently had negative value.
  5. 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.
  6. ClosetBrewerFan
    He is a 18 year old SS with a 752 OPS. That isn't nothing. I would not trade him for Lockridge
  7. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. ClosetBrewerFan
    shelby and montgomery are both on the IL
  11. ClosetBrewerFan
    Just for fun, a Brewers comparable would be Made, Wichrowski, Birchard, and Childers
  12. ClosetBrewerFan
    The question the Brewers are likely asking is whether O'Hearn would be better than Vaughn the rest of this season and if so, by how much? Will it be worth the prospects we have to give up? Vaughn wont continue to hit like this, but has he made enough adjustments to revert back to the 750 OPS player he was early in his career? O'Hearn has struggled in June but improved in July. Will he revert back to how he hit earlier this year or will he be a 780 OPS guy the rest of the way? I dont envy the Brewers, as I could make a case either way.
  13. ClosetBrewerFan
    So he had a few challenges to get through 4 years of high school. No one said athletes are brainiacs.
  14. ClosetBrewerFan
    This trade for Vaughn was such a no brainer. I dont know why so many of you were upset with it.
  15. ClosetBrewerFan
    I was not a believer at the time of the trade, but I am now. I'll be referring to him going forward as "Brewers Legend, Andrew Vaughn". And maybe give Civale team MVP for changing the complexity of this team. Thank you, Aaron!
  16. ClosetBrewerFan
    In 4 years of college ball (61 relief innings) he has a career ERA of 7.08. Strikeouts were not the problem (94), but walks definitely were. Much better results in his 9.1 IP in the frontier league. Feels like a project for the Brewers. That's some nugget mining though.
  17. ClosetBrewerFan
    Logan is a prime candidate for relief innings with the Brewers. SP depth is hardly a concern at this point. It just makes so much sense to limit his innings this year and get more major league exposure. Then have him start again in spring training next year.
  18. ClosetBrewerFan
    Who said this isnt a HR hitting team!
  19. ClosetBrewerFan
    keep piling on !!!
  20. ClosetBrewerFan
    Should be interesting to see how they use Jansen. He is having a better season than Contreras and with the lingering injury, is likely to outperform him the rest of the year. I wont get my hopes up, but he really should be getting the majority of AB at C.
  21. ClosetBrewerFan
    Interesting. thanks for doing the research Spencer! So, looks like the Brewers typically sign 6-7 NDFA each year and they have signed seven so far this year. Probably means they have signed who they wanted to sign.
  22. ClosetBrewerFan
    Garrett Hodges was also signed. From 2023, Hunt and Root are the only remaining from the NDFA list (lost track of who else was signed).
  23. ClosetBrewerFan
    Who is this mythical player you are suggesting?

  25. ClosetBrewerFan
    There is no advantage to IL him now. They can back date the IL to when he was injured, so I am sure they will wait until the end of the all star break.
