Brewers should hire Greinke as the new manager

If you're looking to waste some time there's a whole reddit sub dedicated to Greinke quotes. He's a one of a kind.

Wow that's a lot of players White Sox got for a reliever with a 6.79 ERA. Can the Brewers make these kind of deals too?

From what I read the goal for them was to clear several 40 man spots and Bummer has some really good underlying numbers. Definitely seems like alot to give up though

The Cardinals either have themselves one last semi-fun ride with Goldschmidt or they are going to be breaking things down in July and selling off all 30somethings and rebuilding for the first time I can remember.

I was defensive of the Rockies in the Arenado deal even though it looked one-sided because the Rockies' small window looked closed and I wasn't sure if the Cardinals really had one open. Unless you're a mega-market, the only time you strike with a massive contract/deal like that is when you have a really good group of young players coming up. Now they're back in no-man's land since they dealt all of their good pitching prospects away 5-6 years ago.

Of course the Rockies were the Rockies and spent the money on an even dumber contract. Will be interesting if the Cards try to get out of Arenado this year if it goes south or he basically just declines into trash on their books over the next 3-4 years.

Kind of a shocking deal for a guy who hasn't thrown his first professional pitch.

Has there been any word on Woodruff signing anywhere? Feel like his name has all but disappeared in the last few weeks.

Hurry up and decide please Ohtani. I imagine that's what's holding things up right now since everything has seemingly been at a standstill.

I'm not going to pretend like I have any kind of immediate practical solution but baseball really needs to do something about its free agency. I get it's different because there's no salary cap which makes it tough, but football and basketball have turned their free agency periods into anticipated events where there is a ton of immediate activity to generate fan interest. With baseball it turns into a war of attrition. These guys could sign in 3 days, 3 weeks or in 3 months, and very quickly it gets hard to keep caring.

100% agree. Right before the lockout happened a few years ago we saw a preview of what that could be like and it was super fun. I'd love for them to make a transaction dead period from something like the end of the winter meetings through Feb 1 or something like that

A lot of reporting that Juan Soto to the Yankees is close to being done.
