From what I know, a trade of Santana, Phillips, Burnes and Peralta is what TB want's for Archer.

 

 

I missed this post from High Heat. While I'm a strike while the iron's hot and trade for known talent type guy, I think this is a bit too steep of a price. Especially considering the year that Santana just had and how controllable he still is. Not saying Santana can't be part of the trade, but asking to add 2 of your top prospects in addition is too much.

Brewer World at it again on Twitter. At least HH lays it out. The tidbits have made it fun this week for sure.

 

It appears that he is either hinting at Trevor Bauer or the fact that something should happen in the next 24 hours. Curious what Trevor Bauer would cost, though he doesn't really move the needle as much as Archer would. Also probably would not cost Burnes though.

]This is Santana's last pre-arbitration season - so while he's still cost-friendly that part of his value to whichever organization he's a part of will start decreasing rapidly after this year[/b]. Plus, having to put Santana in the field as an NL team diminishes what he gives you at the plate. He profiles as an ideal DH candidate in the AL - IMO a right-handed hitting Schwarber with a better average/OBP. That definitely has value to AL teams, but not enough to have them just ship a talented and cost-controlled starting pitcher in his prime to Milwaukee in return.

 

The issue with Santana as a centerpiece to Tampa in a trade is that his current MLB service time clock isn't what Tampa would want in return for dealing a quality rotation piece who's under a fantastic contract currently. The problem with Santana as a centerpiece to Cleveland in a trade is that the Brewers should demand more back from the Indians than Salazar, which is where things get dicey with remaining prospect packages/salary relief. It's not that brewer prospects/Santana are undervalued - it's that the best potential trade fits don't cleanly match right now, so people are trying to fit square pegs in round holes to make trades work and the more complex a potential deal gets the less realistic it becomes. Truth is very few teams are rushing to deal impact, controllable starting pitchers that are already in the majors for a bat two months before the regular season starts. Doing so essentially waves the white flag on the 2018 season unless you have a surplus of pitching (extremely rare). I wouldn't be surprised if Santana is in Milwaukee opening day, and eventually becomes part of a trade to acquire an impact rotation arm with more limited control at the deadline from a team that drops out of contention - like I expect the Giants, Orioles, Blue Jays, Royals, Mariners, Rangers, and others to be.

 

It's arbitration. If it get's expensive to a team it would mean Santana is performing very well which would be a Greater value return than Archer's by him alone. If he's not performing like '17 or better, then he's not going to get so expensive that causes a team turmoil with their payroll.

If we trade for Trevor Bauer in the next 24 hours, I don't want to hear a peep about that twitter account being run by a fool.
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

Bauer is in his age 27 season and has been durable. Controlled for the next three seasons, so he fits the window. I think the cost is going to be high, though. Like Santana/Peralta/Ortiz high.

Bauer would be an interesting get. He had a great 2nd half last year and has always K'd a lot of guys.

Boomer, I would quote your comment, but the previous quote is much too long to include it.

 

Every team's fan base will have many that are like that. Personally, my opinion of prospects doesn't change except to figure in ballpark factors. I still think Brinson has the ability to be prime-years Andrew McCutcheon without the Gold Glove.

 

I'm not convinced Burnes is a sure thing, but he should be untouchable simply because a team like the Brewers has problems signing top free agent starters and retaining quality starting pitchers they develop themselves. If Nelson comes back strong and has another two good seasons after does anyone really think we can afford to resign him when if he's a free agent? And Burnes has shown far too much to trade him away for anyone at this point.

The value placed on cost-controlled proven pitching is very, very high. It is what it is.

 

 

Not guys that do this the last 3 years. No chance we're giving up 3 guys including Santana for him. Maybe Aguilar and Broxton. Good grief.

I hate Trevor Bauer. Keep him away from our clubhouse!

 

He's also a free agent soon. No way do I trade 4 years of Santana for him.

Bauer would be a good pickup for the Brewers. Don't know about the clubhouse stuff. He's not a FA until after the 2020 season.

 

That said, BREWERWORLD IS A PARODY ACCOUNT. OMG.

IDK on Bauer. Sure seems just like an ok pitcher, nothing that's a significant upgrade. I mean, would any of us be really surprised if Woodruff could do the exact same stat line this year.

 

17-9 with a 4.19 ERA? Heck yes, because it means the offense supports him well, and we're in the playoffs.
