@WANDERaround1@brewcitypaul Exactly this ^ such a lazy take to call Horst bad at drafting when you’re picking in the late first or second round. If you get ANY value or solid rotation player in that range it’s a success. Probably around 25% chance you get that outside the top 10
@Brewers Pena and made untouchable, but this feels like the year to cash in some of these prospects to truly make a splash. This actually feels like a WS roster, but adding Skubal would give us a legitimate shot to beat LA
@BrewersOfMKE Fischer headliner. Pena and made are untouchable.
Fischer, Adams, gasser, bitonti…. Something like that feels like a strong package while still keeping your to few guys
@FoulTerritoryTV@Ken_Rosenthal Lmao just speeds over the fact a small market hasn’t won in 10+ years 😂
As a brewer fan, we are built to win a lot games, however that is with super young players and insane depth.
STARS win in October. Don’t need a Cap, but rev sharing is needed at a minimum
@andersonjake188@BrewerSooner It’s 20-20 hindsight that some of those guys declined or got injured after we were forced to trade them… I agree I’m glad we made all those moves.
But the likelihood that all those guys would fall off is super low…. And you’re going to be better off paying your stud players
@andersonjake188@BrewerSooner Brewers are still going to develop PLUS can spend more, I’m failing to see how that would hurt them?
I’m more worried about competing financially with the coastal teams when it comes playoff time, dodgers, Phillies, braves, Mets, etc
@andersonjake188@BrewerSooner No salary caps put a huge emphasis on young talent and paying money to a handful of star players.
Every team in the nfl or nba that is a true title contender has a mix of stud star players plus a core of guys on rookie contracts and it’ll be the same in the mlb
@AJGullotta@PhilMackey Dodgers tv deal is $334m per year. The brewers is $35m per year…. You don’t see the problem here?
Ridiculous the league allowed this to go on as long as it did. There’s a reason why the NFL is king
@itd0esntmatter2@PhilMackey There’s going to be a media revenue share as part of this deal, so you’re completely wrong that’s not what this proposal “admits” at all.
Dodgers tv deal is $334m per year. The brewers is $35m per year…. You don’t see the problem here?
@AustonWhite3@PhilMackey Well I didn’t think I’d have to list off all the huge spenders to make my point… but Toronto, Boston, and Philly fans also won’t like it, there are you happy now? 😂
@B_R_O_L_E_G@SteveBread@BNightengale Not true at all. The cap system would likely also shorten rookie contracts and arbitration, and allow players to hit FA sooner.
If anything there will be much more demand considering there will be 20+ teams that have never participated in free agency now signing players early
@YGJAPanda@DMMP15@BNightengale So you’d rather have 5 teams negotiate with all the top players essentially forcing them to take lower deals cause there’s no competitive market? There’s nothing good about that
Half the players shouldn’t have to wait until a few weeks before spring training to sign in FA
@YGJAPanda@DMMP15@BNightengale Uhh yeah it is? The entire point of sports is entertainment, nothing more.
More teams having to spend money = players making more money. It’s a pretty simple concept.
Guessing rookie contracts will be shorter allowing guys to hit FA sooner as well
@andersonjake188@BrewerSooner Completely disagree.
Brewers could actually retain their top end guys (Contreras/ turang) and spreading out the other top end guys will definitely help us.
If betts was on Miami, freeman As, and snell the Rays … the brewers would have a MUCH better shot at winning a WS
@StoolBaseball@ChrisKlemmer A Mets fan upset that his team can’t spend 100m more than 3/4 of the league? 😂 the salary cap/ floor will be a net positive for the players. The only people that can’t seem to rationalize this are from LA and NY
