Rolling Rich People Conversations - Your 2015 Milwaukee Brewers Thread

so Boras seems pretty steamed. would be pretty justified if the Mets are making false claims about Gomez's health, when they are actually just being cheap.

@AdamMcCalvy
Asked whether he's hurt, Carlos Gomez said, "I don't have no problems. I'm playing, and I feel really sexy about it."

tbf boras would say water was fire if he thought he could get water a 6-year deal on the open market, but I don't necessarily buy the mets' line either xp

Astros Agree To Acquire Carlos Gomez, Mike Fiers

seems like a decent haul. phillips is good, santana has been killing the ball this year

all 4 of these guys, minus maybe the reliever, could be in the majors in a couple years. the Astros farm system is insane.

Seems a good fit for the Brewers, who I can't imagine committing to a long rebuild. I'm guessing they're eying 2017

Also, there goes Para... nice!

#Brewers will get Zach Davies, who is pitching for Baltimore's AAA Norfolk affiliate. Is 5-6 with 2.84 ERA in 19 games.

Yeah I don't see them going full bottom-out rebuild like the Astros or the Nationals did, Melvin doesn't seem like that kind of GM (for better ot worse) and I think they'll have pieces to compete in 2 years. Glad we got these deals done, hopefully Lind is next. It seems like it's been forever since we had more than like one or two players in the minors to look forward to seeing.

Really excited the team is actually rebuilding, but the weight of this is starting to sink in. They've just traded 20% of their 25-man roster.

melvin moving to 'advisory role'

was expecting him to be canned at the end of the season so this is no real surprise, still, who's on the GM market?

congrats Braun! 252! most in franchise history.

nah, fuck that guy

I feel like we should have sold Lucroy. Especially watching him the last few weeks. His values was never going to be higher.

Nice story:

rip

weirdly optimistic about this

I landed opening day tickets this year. Never been before. Excited. What should I expect?

a bad ballclub playing in a great ballpark

haha, well that I knew. I go to lots of games, I've just never been to opening day.

I've only had standing room tickets to Opening Day. Opening Day anything is a lot of fun though

Awesome. I'm gonna take off from work and do it right, I think. I managed to get four seats together which feels like a coup.

so..Hank the dog died and they tried to replace him without telling anyone? this season getting off to a rocky start already...
