Ed. I loved that guy. Why? Because he was signing autographs at the opening of the Stop N Go in Janesville back in the day. The first autograph on a baseball I ever got.

That's what I was going to say. I grew up during the 80's, 90's and early 2000's on Brewers baseball. While those teams built my love of baseball, they were moderately competitive. And the farm system for other teams (see Gary Sheffield, Greg Vaughn and more). This is different. This feels built and long term. And credit needs to go to Mark for seeing this through. Now we have to get the trophy.

I believe that bullied any thoughts of Rivas trying to pitch ever again.

I take it back. That's a high cost for rentals. Hope it helps us beat the Dodgers.

On first glance, I like it. Depends on what the cost is. But pitching is going to be needed come playoff time.

Trade Deadline Ideas Thread

Always need a bat. Always. -
Fair point. I want to be optimistic, but I think in the end, the almighty dollar and the bottom line wins out.

THAT was what did it? Not the Dodgers signing Ohtani, Tucker, so on and so forth? Not the lack of a salary cap or floor? Not the stupid blackout restrictions that make zero sense whatsoever? I mean, the answer to the question of this post is that the response needs to be on the field. Win. Take down the Dodgers. It is absolutely possible.

Definitely a far cry from Lou Palsmo making all of our WOAHS SOLVDD

It's a return on investment for those of us who suffered through the 80's, 90's and 2000's. Now, it's just a matter going to win the whole damn thing.

That's why Skubal "only" got $32 million in arbitration, not the $19 million Detroit wanted to pay, or the $500 billion that LA or some other team would offer to pay to Skubal's great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandchildren. I'm half joking.

100% this. I'm not expecting any baseball to be played in 2027. I hate it, but I've made peace with it. It's more a matter of what does baseball in 2028 (if that ends up happening) looks like moving forward.

Brewers Acquire Lance McCullers Jr. From Astros

Brewers Acquire Lance McCullers Jr. From Astros
craigharmann replied to patrickgpe's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Signed him to a 5/85 extension and received 32 starts. Two completely lost seasons. They are trying to get out of the contract early so that there's a little more financial flexibility. That's 98% of this trade. -
Brewers Acquire Lance McCullers Jr. From Astros

This is a very interesting deal. Gordon is definitely a AAAA guy. Lance has tried to gut it out, but I think time has caught up to him. I've seen it up close living in Houston. I'm hoping for his sake, the Brewers get him another WS ring. It's an absolute salary dump for the Astros, but I'm not sure what it is on the Brewers end. I guess a lottery ticket hoping he'll catch lightning in a bottle.
