I can't imagine Madson would cost anything more than salary relief of perhaps a low-level prospect or organizational soldier. Numbers aren't great at all this year, but the velocity is still there.

That would be a great pickup. He's proven in the playoffs and has been somewhat unlucky this year.

We should definitely try to make a claim, if anything to keep the filthy cubs from getting him. But we definitely could use him to replace Williams/Albers.

 

Right now I'd rank our relievers Hader, Jeffress, Soria, Jennings, no trust whatsoever...Imagine if we got Madson and got Knebel right for the playoffs...

[Outlander]

I don't know if he makes it to the Brewers but would certainly make the remaining Reds games a little more interesting with him hitting Votto earlier this month. With roster expansion in a couple of days could always use another veteran arm.

I'd go Jeffress, Hader, Soria, Burnes, Albers, Jennings, Williams and Lyles. Jennings, Williams and Lyles are very replaceable with the way they are pitching, and Albers too if he hasn't righted the ship.

Totally forgot about Burnes. 4th is about right for him. Jeffress and Hader are 1a/1b in some order...dealers choice. Madson and good Knebel would make us 7 legit arms deep in the bullpen for the postseason. Aside from the wildcard which will be something like 15 position players, I'm guessing we'll be rolling 12 pitchers and 13 position players with one of the normal starters will pitching in relief(Guerra).

I love this idea

 

Hader Jeffress Soria Madson Burnes Knebel (if corrected) and Jennings or QTC is a great winning bullpen.

[tmwiese55]

Count me in on this as well. Though I'll be surprised if he gets to MKE

[StearnsFTW]

Yeah, I'd be shocked if he got to us. No doubt we'd claim him. No reason not to.

[Outlander]

Well it looks like the Dodgers claimed him so never made it to the Brewers.

Figured that might happen. Dodgers pen is horrible.

2 days to make a final move

[reillymcshane]

Dodgers have acquired Madson.
