Francisco Lindor & Carlos Carrasco Traded to Mets

[brewmann04]

Back to Lindor ... he's a great piece, but let's not discount what the Mets are giving up. The three prospects would be rated #1-3 in our system.

 

I like Gimenez, and while he's not as good as Lindor, they'll get more WAR from five years of Gimenez than they gave up in one year of Lindor. Rosario was a good late addition to the trade. He hasn't lived up to his prospect potential, but he's a MLB player who can help the team during their rebuild.

 

The prospects are talented but young. Sounds like Wolf's draft status moved up when he hit 97 on the radar gun, but really needs to develop his secondary pitches, while Green is an athletic speedster who's "baseball skills" need a lot of polish. Unfortunately, like most young players they lost a year of development due to the Covid lockdown. Both have a lot of potential, and we'll see where they go from here. I don't think they'd be in the top three of Brewers' prospects, but they'd be good prospects to have.

 

Getting two MLB players back probably reduced the "prospect haul," but Gimenez was #7 in the Rookie of the Year voting last year, so he's not a bad guy to have on the roster.

Prospects are also very hit and Miss too.

You do understand that their is No way they going to be able to afford Those 2 starters and Relievers once they reach the time for new Deals unless you have the rest of the team made up of cheap players.

 

We have Hader through 2023, Woodruff/Burnes through 2024 & Williams through 2025. The 2021 season has yet to begin.

 

The only salary we have on the books currently that far out is about 26 million in 2024 & 28 million in 2025 for Yelich/Peralta, so there should be money to retain some of them if Stearns & company want to. Woodruff is slated to enter FA for his age 32 season, so he could be motivated to sign an extension at some point.

 

If at some point a couple two tree years from now the Brewers don't believe they can afford to retain those players in free agency, they can trade them for players who will help them be competitive even farther into the future.

Really, is the snarkiness warranted here?

He's telling a group of Brewer fans that "this is sickening and a terrible time to be a brewers fan" on a site literally called Brewerfan.net, and I'm the one who's over the top? Gotcha.

 

 

we are all brewer fans here but also view things different does not mean one is right or wrong including some like to trade Prospects and some feel it better to keep the prospects to build this type of team.

BTW like Lindor will think he going to continue to improve and really help the mets
