My bad. I though it was a win and a loss gets us in. Well that’s great news!
"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.

Moose is basically a middle of the road 3B. I’d welcome him back with the right deal but let’s not get crazy.

He has 3 WAR this year...I mean, not bad. Shaw is -1.0 WAR in less than half a season. That’s just lazily comparing...but I am sure you get the point.

 

The Brewers have their backs against a wall on this one. I doubt Moustakas gets some nuts 3/$50mil deal. Worst case I am sure it is an affordable two year deal.

 

They can’t afford to lose both the offense of Moustakas and Grandal...and signing Grandal is likely less of a value and a way bigger risk. Moustakas returning makes waaaay too much sense. If the price is realistic you gotta imagine he comes back. There is no in house option and what else do we do? Sign a different free agent? We are spending money regardless.

Any guesses on Moustakas’ extension? Shaw is not coming back and I can’t imagine they go a different direction.

 

Shaw will be back same was said about Thames last year and yet he was brought back.

 

Thames was a productive player in 2018? Shaw wouldn’t even be on the roster if it wasn’t September. $5mil+ next year for Shaw...and I don’t thing he has an option.

Shaw doesn't have any guaranteed money for next year. Thames did.

 

Thames also wasn't a complete train wreck in 2018.

 

I'd put the chances of Shaw being back with the Brewers in 2020 under 50%.
