Done. By the way, the August Dahl thread was eight pages of threads deep to locate it, not surprising, August-to-December. thank you. it was pretty easy to find the dahl thread with the search function. and okay by me to lock the 40-man roster discussion thread. the timing is appropriate. happy to start a new one when the lockout ends.

if dahl has an opt-out clause, it wasn't because it was required under the current collective bargaining agreement (he lacks both the service time and did not finish the 2021 season on a major league roster or injured list). he would have had to negotiate that on his own with the brewers.

great read on jason alexander. he made his professional debut in the arizona league at the age of 24.

david dahl has one minor league option remaining, and has never been outrighted to the minor leagues. the brewers have ten non-roster invitees for spring camp.

connor sadzeck is out of minor league options and has been outrighted to the minor leagues before. there are nine non-roster invitees in spring camp.

abraham almonte is out of minor league options and has been outrighted to the minor leagues multiple times prior. there are eight non-roster invitees for spring camp.

i should not have derailed a thread that was already complex by itself by commenting within that thread. this is the forum where i should have brought up my concerns. and so i shall. quotes are from this thread. but before i dig into the weeds, i really appreciate the efforts made by moderators to keep threads on track, whether it be a nudge to steer things back to the original topic on hand, or editing a thread title or two when it's warranted. those efforts do not go unnoticed and are really appreciated. Not quite sure what this even means. Dahl and Sadzeck were already members of the organization on minor league deals, so it's not as if they were new signings. If the Brewers suddenly announced an additional five non-roster invitees from their minor league pool, would each name require their own thread? Regardless, very intrigued on what Dahl in particular will show in February / March spring training. There will be spring training for non-40 man roster players if there's no new CBA, so even though they have received invites, one would think if big league spring training is delayed, the NRI's would still be allowed in camp. viewtopic.php?f=63&t=40130 is the thread about dylan cozens and hoby milner. i feel that they should have each been introduced in separate threads to spur discussion about that single player and his comparisons. in creating a thread with the lead about abraham almonte as a new signing, but the addendum about a more significant player in david dahl (and a less significant player in connor sadzeck), it's unclear whom to discuss. from the way that thread went, david dahl is evidently the most significant of the three non-roster players, and unfortunately, that (thus far) has silenced any discussion on almonte and sadzeck. however, a thread already exists for david dahl: viewtopic.php?f=63&t=40939&hilit=dahl , and it makes sense to announce his invitation to spring training there, and continue discussion about him and his comparisons. i did something similar in the thread about mark mathias after his spring training invite was announced. Luke Barker Ethan Small Frelick Mitchell Weimer All of those come to mind... typically, when the brewers announce non-roster invitees from their exisiting minor league pool, a single announcement is made. at that point, it makes sense to create a thread noting such. for example: viewtopic.php?f=63&t=38043 viewtopic.php?f=63&t=40249 viewtopic.php?f=63&t=39559 in most cases, these players don't have an inside track to crack the opening day roster. thus, i completely agree it doesn't make sense to create a thread for each of them when invited. but mid-season, when such non-roster players finally do have their contracts selected, a new thread devoted to the promotion of that prospect is entirely warranted. bottom line, i'd hate to see discussion about abraham almonte and connor sadzeck discouraged because yesterday's thread also introduces news on a buzz-worthy teammate. certainly appreciate any moderator moving the recent dahl discussion to the august thread about dahl, changing the thread title of yesterday's thread to focus solely on almonte, and introducing a new thread about sadzeck. other forum members, what are your thoughts on this?

mark mathias has been invited to major league spring training as a non-roster player. there are seven non-roster invitees for spring camp.

mlb has not made any specific rule-change proposals to the players. and don't expect them to do so soon during this lockout.

$3.1mm projected for pedro severino. Believe Severino already agreed to a contract for 1.9 million, which would be about 39% less gross than 3.1 million. you are correct. pedro severino will not be heading to arbitration. $1.9mm reported deal.

$3.1mm projected for pedro severino.

let's show some optimism with the thread title.

$7.6mm projected for hunter renfroe.

the brewers acquire hunter renfroe from the red sox for jackie bradley, jr. and two minor leaguers. renfroe has two minor league options remaining, but has been outrighted to the minor leagues before. the roster remains at 36 players.

hunter renfroe has two minor league options remaining, and has been outrighted to the minor leagues before. he is shy of five years of major league service time, so he cannot refuse the optional assignment.

nope. just over two years service time.

took a while for it to appear on the brewers.com transaction page, but it's there now, and it happened a few weeks ago. jonathan davis has been signed to a minor league contract and has been invited to spring training. if added to the 40-man roster, he is out of minor league options, and has been outrighted before. there are six non-roster invitees for 2022 camp.

she was roving, so her job wasn't just in milwaukee. she traveled to all of the minor league affiliates to work with hitting coaches and players.

sarah goodrum is taking a job with the houston astros front office.

john curtiss and daniel vogelbach have not been tendered contracts for 2022, making them both free agents. the roster is at 36 players.

split deal for jandel gustave. if he's in the majors, $0.675mm.

jandel gustave and jace peterson each signed one-year contracts, avoiding arbitration.

although rex brothers did finish the 2021 season on a major league roster, he falls short of six years of service time. thus, under the collective bargaining agreement set to expire, the brewers were not required to assure him an opt-out clause at the end of spring training nor a $100,000 retention bonus if they wish to keep him in the organization. this doesn't mean that brothers didn't negotiate for an opt-out clause . . . it's just that the brewers weren't required to give him one.

the brewers officially announce the signing of brett sullivan. he will enter spring training with three minor league options, and cannot refuse a minor league assignment if he happens to clear outright waivers. the roster is at 38 players.
