@chuck47i You're proving my point for me, thanks. ๐
Fischer's K rate was over 33% and contact rate was 63.4% which would been among the lowest in MLB. He won't be up til that gets better.
Blake K's 25% of the time too so he's not perfect but the better option now.
@AKABrewersBeat He'd be a fool to turn down a multi year deal. The Brewers offer was done only so they get a comp pick for him.
They have Burke & Fischer waiting in the wings. One of them (probably Burke) will be the lefty part of the 1B platoon next year.
@Realgrids@wc24wsmvp Fischer strikes out SOOOO often. He's the kind of guy we used to love (all or nothing, HR or K kinda guy) but he doesn't fit with the current iteration of the Brewers.
It will be interesting to see who they choose. One of them will be great trade bait.
@MrJdorshorst@ReviewngTheBrew He will not accept. He'll get at least a 2 yr deal somewhere. The only reason this was done is so Mil will get a compensatory pick when he leaves.
@Shadrackc0ps You'll have these memories forever and that's good cuz Bauers won't be back.
Blake Burke, a lefty power hitting 1B and 2026 Southern League MVP, will be the lefty part of the 1B platoon in 2027.
Rookie salary is $780k (i think) & Bauers will get over $20mm. You do the math!
