Give me your boldest prediction

[mlloyd10]

Nottingham / Je'Von Ward for Ramos

[NievesNoNO]

I think anything dramatic would've been completed already but.. .. for the sake of the thread:

 

The Brewers decide to try and overwhelm the Mets for DeGrom and succeed sending:

 

Ray, Hiura, Ortiz, Zack Brown, Taylor Williams, Houser and Villar for DeGrom and Flores

[MrTPlush]

Matt Harvey

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Matt Harvey

 

This is probably the least Bold one I’ve seen. Yet, it’s the exact answer I’d have. Seems to be the most realistic as well.

I'm not seeing the point of such a move. He's not pitching all that well, and he's basically yet another 5-inning pitcher right now. Who does he replace in the rotation given that?

[brewmann04]

Segar from the Dodgers and Manny can sign long term with them.

[3and2Fastball]

Hiura plus Ortiz to the Blue Jays for Marcus Stroman

[FVBrewerFan]

Yadier Molina for Nottingham

[Nader Raider Tim]

Mike Trout and Albert Pujols

 

for

 

Travis Shaw, Keston Huira, Corey Ray, Luis Ortiz

 

 

Bold...delusional, but bold.

If the Brewers dont get anything done before 2:58 - They will trade for Harvey

 

I think I heavily agree with this. I have a hunch Stearns and the Reds have a contingency deal agreed to ... "if we don't get anyone else by the deadline ... we'll send you A & B for Harvey".

 

Also, to the next poster who said something about Sonny Gray ... I think I'm on board if that can happen. Reunite him with Derek Johnson and let him lead the charge.

 

Gray and Harvey? Why would we give up anything for these guys? By acquiring either of them you are just praying for good luck the rest of the year. Nothing about their season is worth acquiring.

Gray and Harvey are both ~4.50 FIP/xFIP guys that have either had some bad luck or a bad start. Point being, they are basically what Suter/Miley/Anderson/Davies are. With our defense, their numbers may look better. All we need is depth since we lost Suter and Nelson won't be a factor with Peralta's innings limit coming up.

 

Neither of those guys are sexy moves but they are pitchers that are good enough to go 5, maybe 6 and get it to our bullpen. Or maybe guys that allow us to push Miley to a long relief role.

I don't love the Harvey get .. I was just agreeing he is the fall back if we can't get anywhere else.

 

Re: Gray ... Derek Johnson.

[jonescm128]

I think if it is down to Gray and Harvey, the Brewers don't do either and they just wait until August to pick up SP depth.

[Warning Track Power]

I think if it is down to Gray and Harvey, the Brewers don't do either and they just wait until August to pick up SP depth.

If it comes down to these two, it's going to be Gray due to Derek Johnson.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

If they wait on Gray, it is likely a team like the Pirates will throw a waiver claim in on him to block the move. Cubs too if the Brewers are ahead at the time.

[FVBrewerFan]

35 minutes to go. I have this strong feeling they're going to still get a deal or two done by the deadline, otherwise they're not.

[Sixto]

The word is out on Stearns. No one wants to be the next victim

[anglotiger]

My bold prediction:

 

The happiest team today will be the Cubs - just to see the Brewers fail to improve their rotation at all. sigh...

Yup, Braves, Pirates, Dodgers, Cubs all get better today...Brew Crew?? *Crickets*

[pacopete4]

Oh I didn’t know they couldn’t improve their rotation after today...

[BigDaddy1974]

So disappointing...........sigh.

[B-Train]

We still have Burnes, Peralta, Hiura, and Ray. Pirates just gave up a ton for Archer.

[anglotiger]

Sarcasm doesn't negate the point that it's a lot easier to make a deal today than tomorrow... (setting aside the time crunch)

I’d rather make no deals than a deal Stearns isn’t comfortable making. It’ll serve us better as a franchise. Pitching hasn’t been our issue. It’d be a cherry on top if we can swing it.

[jonescm128]

looking more and more like there will be no moves before the deadline...still August though...
