Brewers trade for Schoop; give up Luis Ortiz, Jean Carmona, and Jonathan Villar

[Boomer5]

We all knew Shaw wasn’t going to really be our 2B, no one bought that but I thought it would be Dozier instead of Moose and we trade for Gausmam in the package. Seems more simple.

[HarveysWBs]

Is he a rental? Or how long is he signed for?

 

I believe Schoop isn't a FA until 2020, so one more season of control

 

Correct. He has an arby year left next season.

[wildcat83]

If Ortiz is the headliner back I'm good

[tmwiese55]

Have to consider the forward thinking to make sure we have enough quality hitters to cover the DH in the World Series

[sveumrules]

Roster logjam 2.0, lol.

 

Brewers have gotten the third best production in MLB thus far at both 1B & OF.

 

Would love to see that spread to the rest of the roster.

[owbc]

Middle infield woahs solvdd.

[Jaylyn]

If Ortiz is the headliner back I'm good

Agree, what else though?

[PinaMadness]

Ortiz part of the deal.

[OldHeidelberg]

Luis Ortiz in it

 

 

Ugh I hate it, thought we need to keep Ortiz with Mederois gone unless it was part of something major. This doesn't qualify.

[Warning Track Power]

 

Ortiz, Carmona and Villar

[tmwiese55]

Bit higher prospect than I would have guessed, but I also thought he was a FA at the end of year. So you have the juggle this year and then next year he's the 2B and Shaw back to 3B.

One more year of arbitration next year.

I actually kind of like this. Shaw has been awful against LHP, Schoop has 2.5 years of control, has a BABIP of .262 this year (suggesting some bad luck) and was a stud last year. Suddenly our lineup against LHP (cough, Cubs) improves, and if he can play any SS the lineup as a whole improves. And tons of roster flexibility to make moves in the offseason.

[stoutdude04]

Should we really be excited by this? 273 OBP this year. Yuck.

Per source, the full return for Schoop: Luis Ortiz, Jean Carmona and Jonathan Villar. #Brewers #Orioles

[monty57]

Someone here looked him up and said he played SS coming up? So 2B vs lefties and a few games at SS each week. Plus when Arcia comes in for D substituting he can go over to 2B. IDK, this will be interesting

 

Yeah, start the games with 3B Moose, SS Schoop, 2B Shaw. Finish the game with 3B Moose or Shaw, SS Arcia, 2B Schoop.

 

Nothing else about the 2018 Brewers has been conventional. Why start now :-)

[Nader Raider Tim]

Braun to SS, Shaw to Catcher...woahslvd???

[brewerswinNLcentral]

Prob play SS alot and arcia is the 7th inning replacent or down to triple A for 30 days

[OnaBadger58]

We all knew Shaw wasn’t going to really be our 2B, no one bought that but I thought it would be Dozier instead of Moose and we trade for Gausmam in the package. Seems more simple.

As of right now, I still think Shaw will be our 2B, at least against RHP.

[Jaylyn]

O's are tearing it all down.

[TexasCheesehead]

If he played SS..

 

1. Yelich

2. Moose

3. Cain

4. Aguilar

5. Shaw

6. Braun

7. Schoop

8. Pina

 

That's lethal...minus Pina.

[narwhalattack]

 

The package we’re sending is Luis Ortiz, Jean Carmona, and Jonathan Villar

[BuckyBrewer61]

Is he a rental? Or how long is he signed for?

 

One more year of arbitration next year.

 

Two more, free agent after 2020 season

[HarveysWBs]

Why not just put Schoop at shortstop? He played over 200 games there in the minor leagues, he knows how to field it. Then you have Moose-Shaw-Schoop in almost every day and the offensive black hole that is Arcia isn't a problem anymore

 

Team goals: Long balls on offense, fly balls on defense. I was just warming up to the idea of Arcia sticking as the defensive glue of the infield, but if he’s giving up meaningful innings at SS to Schoop...

 

Buckle up. Every game is going to be a white knuckle ride!

Villar, Ortiz, and Carmona getting shipped to Orioles.
