Re: Brewers making some noise.
premature push by the Brewers
last year's fluke first half may end up holding them back long term now, they were still a few years away and now you add a guy over 30 who relies primarily on his speed and sell the farm for another piece
the pitching staff will struggle mightily this year

Not really happy about it but the Cubs are likely going to sign Darvish
hope they don't, wait for trade deadline

I like Yelich, but the Brewers gave up too much for him. They could have kept those prospects - or traded them for pitching - and still had a very good outfield of Braun, Santana and Cain with Broxton, Brinson and Phillips in reserve.

one pitcher will not make it.... they need last years top starters and darvish... otherwise lose again in post season....blew a chance of getting cain.

Your baseball opinions are worth as much as the bowel movement I just had.
That’s the polite way to put it

If there's one thing I've learned about Theo Epstein over the last 15 years, he knows exactly what he's doing.

I'm actually a fan of Cain and the core of that Royals team. But like Javy mentioned earlier, when one relies on speed and defense and is over 30, do you want to lay out $80 million? He should still be good the first year or two but by 2020, I would expect regression.

Looks like they'll flip Santana & Phillips for a pitcher now.

Usually you get a deal lined up for guys you want to move before you acquire two big names... Now other teams will low ball the Brewers. Brewers can't go into the season with 7 outfielders, so their hands are kinda tied now.
Strange decision making.

Moving a 25 year old .875 OPS outfielder in Santana to make way for a career .763 OPS (last year .803) 30 year old outfielder would not be wise.
Brewers would be wise to just sell absolute rock bottom price on the cheating race baiter Ryan Braun so they can have Santana, Yellich, and Cain all in the lineup.

Braun has never played 1B it looks like. Hasn't played infield since 2007 when he was pretty awful at 3B. I think he'd somehow find a way to be a liability at 1B.
Brewers would be an easier team to like if they moved Braun though. I just don't know who would want him.

There lies the problem. They've tried to deal him for years and came close with getting another doucebag in Puig.

And if he does play some first it's not like they're losing much defensively. Thames and Aguilar are not exactly GG caliber. Wouldn't be surprised to see that playing first becomes a permanent position for him soon.

Re: Brewers making some noise
It’ll be interesting to see what moves they will make at the trade deadline, especially if the cubs get Machado. As great a player as Machado is, I’m not sure he makes the Cubs better because of what they will give up and the weaknesses are still there.

Re: Brewers making some noise
machado is having some year (user) but cannot play SS like russell.. I just don't think theo makes a trade for him.

Re: Brewers making some noise
Hard to see anyone trading for Machado. They would have to give up some big prospects for a 3 month rental and hope they could re-sign him. He is 26 years old and my guess is that he is going to ask for around 8 years at 250-300 million.

Re: Brewers making some noise
O's can do a sign and trade with anyone. Rental won't come into play. Getting a team to do it is another matter.
Machado probably would not do it more than anything.... he would only be dealing with the O's instead of the other 28-29 teams also

Re: Brewers making some noise
His left handed bat will fit well in Miller Park although I'm not sure how Shaw will do defensively at 2nd base. He's played over there some during the shifts used by the Brewers but being able to turn the double play is whole different/new thing for him.
