The backlash from the Hader trade and the fact that the Brewers are again in the playoff hunt makes it nearly impossible that Arnold would sell. I agree that he should be listening to offers and legitimately considering those offers but selling now went out the window with the Hader trade. This will happen in the offseason.
The last blow-out win we had was back on 6/23 when we beat Cleveland by 6 runs. Everything else has been by 4 runs or less and it’s mostly been 3 or less. That is going to KILL our bullpen sooner or later. The offense has to start scoring runs AND adding tack-on runs late in games to keep the top end of the bullpen fresh.
I can’t see too many fans putting up much of a fuss if we trade them in the offseason, especially if we go down quickly and easily in the postseason. I think most understand our financial constraints, particularly with Burnes.
Rumored player? Probably Ohtani before the Angles took him off the market but even that would have been a really hard pill to swallow. Maybe Juan Soto? Can’t think of anyone else.
I thought for sure he should play the entire year in Biloxi but honestly I’m not sure there’s anything left for him to prove at AA now that his walks are up and his strikeouts are down. I’d send him to Nashville asap.
