Brewers 2025 Discussion - Civale to White Sox

[Thunder Muscle]

Cubs lost, Cards rained out, DH tomorrow

Right in the Wild Card mix now. Gained 5 games on the Giants in the last 10 games. Obviously have a chance to gain in the Padres this weekend too.

16 of the next 22 at home. Good chance to make a move especially since playing teams they would hypothetically be battling a wild card with late season. And some against the Cubs (road) in that stretch. This hot stretch has at least kept us in shouting distance of them.

I would think if any of the stuff Woodruff had done yesterday had showed something serious we would have heard by now. Hopefully.

At this point is Brice Turang the best player on the Brewers? He was 2nd on the team in WAR last year, slightly behind Contreras. This year he is well ahead of anyone else on the Crew in WAR. Seems like he has a really good case as the top guy on the squad

Do we look to do a Peralta/Ashby with him? Buyout a couple of FA years might be a good play?

If Turang wants to I'd go for it. We have him under control through his age 28 season so I'd look to extend him am extra 2-5 years probably. Not sure if he'd take that or rather try and hit FA

The Brewers are so loaded on the infield across the minors there's no real reason to extend Turang. He's here through 2029 and by then Made, Pena, Pratt, Adamczewski, Wilken, Murray, and Seigler will be MLB ready to some degree.

More likely that Brice is traded in two years when he's got two years of arbitration remaining.

[MickeyDavis]

I hope some of those young guys produce. Most will likely bust but we don't need all of them.

You're probably right, but Turang is probably the only young guys I would consider extending. His value isn't predicated on his bat which in theory should help him provide consistent value into his early 30s. If he can consistently be a 4-6 win guy every year that's the exact type of young player the Brewers should try and lock in IMO. If we get to the stage where Turang is extended and we have young guys coming up and ready, we can always make a trade at that point

Cards came from behind to win in 10 in their first game.

Cubs won, Cards split. Cubs have Detroit. Cards have the Dodgers. Need to keep winning series.

Yeah if Turang is willing I'd definitely extended him. Like you said his value isn't tied to his bat. But the bat seems to be coming around and combined with his glove and speed it's makes for really valuable guy.

In 8 games out of the Bullpen, Rob Zastryzny has already accumulated .5 WAR.

It's a small sample, but the Brewers might have done it again

The Brewers claimed Drew Evans from the A's, a 29 year old OF from the A's.

Avans, who turns 29 on Friday, had gone 1-for-15 in seven games with the Athletics this season. He had hit .328 with a .414 on-base percentage, 4 homers, 34 RBIs and 16 steals in 48 games with the Athletics' Triple-A Las Vegas affiliate.

Are Mitchell and Perkins far off from returning. Do we not have any OF prospects ready to step up?

No outfielders are close to being Major League ready this season. Probably just a depth move in case something does happen before Perkins or Mitchell get healthy. Decent chance we never see this guy put on a Brewers uniform. They had an open spot and weren't using it at the moment

[MickeyDavis]

That makes sense. Cameron needs to go.

Tyler Black would probably get the call up if there was in an outfield emergency.

Think Murphy said beginning of July for both of them.
