Predict the Brewers 1st Post All Star Game Trade

[Eye Black]

I wanted to start a friendly contest in the spirit of the fastest post All Star Game trade announcement in Brewers history occurring on July 12, 2011 with the Brewers acquiring Francisco Rodriguez (and cash) for what ultimately turned out to be PTBNL's Adrian Rosario and Daniel Ray Herrera. The rules are pretty simple, just try to predict the team and players in the next trade the Brewers will make that involves major leaguers and/or prospects. Let the guessing begin.

 

Team Brewers will trade with:

 

Player(s) Brewers will acquire in trade:

 

Player(s) Brewers will trade away in return:

Sounds fun. I'll bite.

 

Team Brewers will trade with: Boston Red Sox

 

Player(s) Brewers will acquire in trade: Jalen Beeks SP (AAA)

 

Player(s) Brewers will trade away in return: Garrett Cooper 1B/OF (AAA)

[JohnBriggs12]

Brewers acquire Jhoulys Chacin and Brad Hand from Padres in exchange for Jorge Lopez, Jett Bandy and Wei-Chung Wang.

Trade with Mariners

 

Brewers get: Yovani Gallardo

Mariners get: Marcos Diplan

Trade with Mariners

 

Brewers get: Yovani Gallardo

Mariners get: Marcos Diplan

Of course if the Brewers also throw in Chase Anderson and Isan Diaz I would assume they could net Jean Segura?

Pretty sure they'd have to throw in Aaron Wilkerson and Wendell Rijo as well in order to get Segura back.

Yea, and now Greinke is involved, and it gets really messy.

I wish the Brewers matched up with the Pirates better in terms of prospects. The Pirates are already deep in a few areas that the Brewers are also deep in unless the Brewers want to give up a package of Hader and Ortiz/Bickford + for Cole.

 

 

Since the Brewers don't match up with the Pirates all that well I will go with this instead:

 

Team Brewers will trade with: Braves

 

Player(s) Brewers will acquire in trade: Teheran

 

Player(s) Brewers will trade away in return: Bickford, Cordell, and Ponce/Orimoloye/Medeiros

[IndyCrew]

Padres

 

Brewers get: Brad Hand

Padres get: Trent Clark, Louis Ortiz

[Jenkins5]

Padres

 

Brewers get: Brad Hand

Padres get: Trent Clark, Louis Ortiz

 

My word, Padres get a steal! Clark is going to be really nice MLB OF & Ortiz has a chance to be really good 2-3 pitcher! Hand has been real good & believe has two years of control but that is though one. Prefer one of the older prospects like Ray & Ponce. Clark & Ortiz have been so young at every level.... only starting to tap into potential

[A Swing and A Drive]

Oakland

 

Brewers get: RHP Sonny Gray, LHP Sean Doolittle

 

A's get: OF Corey Ray, RHP Brandon Woodruff, OF Monte Harrison, RHP Freddy Peralta

[nate82]

Padres

 

Brewers get: Brad Hand

Padres get: Trent Clark, Louis Ortiz

Hand has been real good & believe has two years of control but that is though one. Prefer one of the older prospects like Ray & Ponce. Clark & Ortiz have been so young at every level.... only starting to tap into potential

 

 

I agree but I think that is what the Padres are looking for in a return for Hand. Not sure I want to pay what they want in return for Hand.

Let's have some fun ....

 

Brewers get Jose Quintana from the White Sox, for Corey Ray, Luis Ortiz, Brandon Woodruff, and a PTBNL.

[reillymcshane]

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Trade with Tigers.

 

Brewers obtain Justin Wilson [LHRP].

 

Brewers trade away Lewis Brinson [OF], Kyle Wren [OF], and Cody Ponce [RHSP].

[Eye Black]

Here is my stab in the dark...

 

Team Brewers will trade with: Marlins

 

Player(s) Brewers will acquire in trade: Dan Straily, Jarlin Garcia

 

Player(s) Brewers will trade away in return: Corey Ray, Mauricio Dubon, Freddy Peralta, Cody Ponce, Mariano Feliciano

[HighHeat19]

Brewers receive:

Marcus Stroman and Joe Smith from Toronto.

 

Toronto receives:

Corey Ray, Isan Diaz, Brett Phillips, Lucas Erceg, Freddy Peralta and PTNBL.

[Jenkins5]

The more I see these trades, the more I cringe. Many of these prospects haven't hit AA yet, are young, have struggled, and values aren't as high as they can be if we wait. Selling low on guys while cleaning out system is even more painful.

 

I'm more for trading log jam prospects that there is no room for or guys who will need to be protected but there won't be spot for. Like hate to lose Phillips but may be no room for him. Guys in A+ aren't even blocked yet & have lower weight in trades. Like DS has talked about in deals... target younger, you get more value because they carry less than higher up prospects.

 

Miss the exciting days of selling & rebuilding.... selling off our whole system for overvalued MLB players is less than exciting. The days of winning trades may be over

[gebc1997]

Brewers get Jose Quintana and David Robertson

 

White Sox get Keon Broxton, Brett Phillips, Luis Ortiz, Freddy Peralta and Mario Feliciano

[rickh150]

Brewers get RP Ryan Madson from Oakland.

 

A's get OF Ryan Cordell from Milwaukee.

 

 

I'll second this one rather than doing my own...

[Jenkins5]

Peralta keeps growing/performing like this rest of season. His value will be much higher in off season or next July (sadly CS kills that a bit)

 

Feliciano's value not close to what it could be in two years. Could be Mejia. Got trades treating him like a back end throw in. 18 year old who made all-star game, who has probably been closest thing to consistent bat in Wisconsin. Robertson makes it almost acceptable.

 

I believe in Stearns that he will not bend to demands or devalue worth of prospects. Unless it is a true Ace who will anchor this staff, not worth selling off prospects before they reach true value. Guys like Clark, Felciano, Diaz, Peralta, and etc. haven't even touched surface of what value could be. Good for Oakland or White Sox for stealing away these types of guys at a lower value if DS bends to fan pressure of trading away farm for non elite players

[3and2Fastball]

Brewers trade Lewis Brinson, Brandon Woodruff & Josh Pennington to Chicago for

 

Jose Quintana

[HighHeat19]

While this maybe a fun activity, I don't want to see the Brewers really trade for anyone. I see 4 things that could go terribly wrong.

 

1) We may not make the playoffs.

2) We may trade for a Marcum, Wolf, and hold it......... Jeff Suppan.

3) We will see our prospects that were traded become the next All Stars.

4) We could go right back to mediocrity in 3 years because our farm was depleted again.

 

I really see option 2) as the worst case reality that holds the most potential of coming true.

 

What I want to see is if Suter and Woodruff can pitch for us this year. I would also like to see Hader eased into a starting position by the end of August with a spot start here and there vs lesser teams to see what he is capable of for at least 5 innings. And if the Crew does trade for a pitcher, I want to see it as a last hour proposal with the hopes that the other team is desperate and the Brewers get the best possible deal.

 

The Good News is that Stearns has made great deals and understands real value as a seller. And as a buyer I believe he will be just as stringent.

 

It wouldn't surprise me that the Brewers actually become sellers, or at least looks to become a seller of one of our major pieces. An example would be Broxton for a set of minor league pitchers who maybe brought up ASAP to contribute now. Whether it be bullpen or as a starter. That to me would be the most brilliant of all moves, but would take some extensive and savvy scouting. There seems to be plenty of pitchers in Triple A farm systems that are at that 24-28 age range who could fit that bill. If Woodruff was on another team's farm system right now, this is exactly the type of player the Crew could go after with that aforementioned strategy.
