There are some Reds fans going to have a conniption on that news as it seems on a couple sites that's the only player between them and the rebirth of the Big Red Machine, even though the team ERA was like 5 last year.

lol the marlins got more for yelich than they did for stanton
― mookieproof, Friday, 26 January 2018 02:13 (six years ago) link
So is moving Braun the next step for the Brewers? Seems kinda odd signing Cain for 5 years right after getting Yelich and considering they got that guy Domingo Santana.
Their starting rotation is still pretty funky and not that scary.
― earlnash, Friday, 26 January 2018 03:18 (six years ago) link

brewers look pretty scary to me now as a cubs fan, they were already first in the nl central for half of last season and were in contention until right near the end. meanwhile the cubs haven't done much to improve yet this offseason.

this is kinda crazy: free-agent camp
Players believe the value dispute between the sides will last long enough that a number have discussed the possibility of staging a free agent training camp to mimic their typical spring work, according to sources.

Nelson/Davies/Anderson gives the Brewers three solid cheap starters, they obviously need to make a move or two yet. Guessing they'll flip Santana, but hold on to Phillips, then hopefully make one more big FA signing (Darvish!?!?)
― frogbs, Friday, 26 January 2018 16:45 (six years ago) link
Santana looks like he's about to emerge into a 40 HR guy. Yelich could be a top 5 NL ofer. Cain is extremely good, reminds me of Zobrist in how he flies under the radar with his all-around skill set. could probably shift Braun to 1B w/Thames as an option against righties (unless they move Braun.) Not sure what Broxton's status is, but he doesn't seem like a bad 4th OFer. Vogt at catcher, Arcia/Villar up the middle, Travis Shaw in his age 28 season should still be vv good.
i guess some of those guys could disappoint or collapse. and the rotation is still iffy.
as a Cubs fan I'm not terrified of them but I think they have a very good shot at taking the Central. they seem playoff ready at the very least.
― omar little, Friday, 26 January 2018 16:49 (six years ago) link
you think they'd flip Santana? i haven't been keeping up, maybe there are issues there, but he's only 24!
*25 rather
― omar little, Friday, 26 January 2018 16:50 (six years ago) link
he's not projected to be so good, but the decrease in strikeout rate kinda makes me think he's an emerging star. that said, you've still got 5 outfielders + Brett Phillips, makes sense to try to get a good starter for one of them and I don't think Broxton will get it done. I'd be more keen to offload Braun but IDK if anyone's gonna want him
― frogbs, Friday, 26 January 2018 16:54 (six years ago) link
braun is a 10/5 guy, which complicates their ability to move him
― mookieproof, Friday, 26 January 2018 16:56 (six years ago) link
i'd guess either broxton or santana is going to be traded, and probably pretty soon

― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Friday, 26 January 2018 20:41 (six years ago) link
My guess is Santana goes, but I think the team will probably keep him rather than sell low on him. The extra OFs gives the team some cover to ration Braun and Cain's playing time.
Where they really need an upgrade is 2B. Villar was atrocious last year, defensively and offensively.
― Evan R, Friday, 26 January 2018 21:14 (six years ago) link
Wouldn't they be selling high on Santana? He was terrific last year.
