I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

He sure lost alot of money into free agency. I don’t even know if he’ll have a strong market as a setup guy.

If the market is bleak on Williams do you kick around bringing him back? Much like we used to do with Jeffress. Or let that ship sail? I could see Devin just being mentally done too.

Even if he wasn't mentally cooked, I don't think you can ever bring Devin back to Milwaukee. It'd be like the Packers re-signing Brandon Bostick after the 2014 NFCCG.

It depends on what their internal metrics say on him, but if they believe they can get him back anywhere close to how dominant he was I think you'd have to entertain the idea
Coach Drew: "Milwaukee has always been a team that I have been intrigued by. When we played them, they were a tough team for us to play. Although we did beat them all four times"

He's probably going to have to accept a one year prove-it deal. I wouldn't be opposed to the Brewers giving him that deal. But who knows if he burned any bridges on his way out.

I mean, he was traded, so that was an organization decision, he may have, but harder to do that versus someone just leaving in FA.

If the money was fine, I’d take a chance. Upside vs cost would be ridiculous, you either get a payoff close to what he was, or you can pass on the long term commitment you’d normally have to make if he is mentally shot. But a one year deal if the money is right seems like a fair gamble.

Holy ****. LAD were two strikes away from a no-hitter. Instead they give up four two out runs and lose 3-4 :rofl:

Trea Turner came out early with a hamstring injury during the Phillies' loss today.

Mets on a free fall (14-25 since 7/28) and Giants on a heater since the series with us (13-3). They’re now within 2 of last wild card spot. Adames on a tear. Mets fans will be livid if paid all that offseason money after NLCS to miss the playoffs.

Skenes pulled after 5 innings, 64 pitches. 2 hits, 8K. They figure he has the CY, now limit his usage. Makes sense.

We're not getting any help results wise tonight by the looks of things.
