Trade Deadline Rumors

[MrTPlush]

If you look at all the moves as a collective whole, good trades. At the deadline, way underwhelming so far.

 

I mean we got our bat (Escobar) and a couple relievers (Curtiss, Norris) . I know some people will be disappointed and I guess I'm a little underwhelmed but it's basically the exact moves I figured would happen.

 

Its a decent deadline. If you are disappointed, it is because you wanted a massive player at the deadline. To me, there just weren't a ton of those players this year that seemed like great fits for the Brewers.

 

I am glad I didn't feel like we 'needed' one of those big time players.

I think seeing Cain come back and look good, Rowdy smashing, and Urias looking good at 3B told Stearns that the one Escobar acquisition would be good enough. I think in the end he will be right but time will tell.

Basically what I expected last week- a bat and two relievers. Maybe I hoped for bigger name relievers like Rogers or Hudson, but they got a LHP and RHP. Excited about Curtiss, willing to give the org the benefit of the doubt on Norris, as they've worked wonders with similar situations in the past.

 

Escobar was basically the type of bat/name I would have envisioned as well. Yeah, bigger names out there, but they weren't coming here barring something completely unforseen.

Rumor has it... Bart part of the deal to Cubs.

I don't think Stearns believes in trading high-end prospects for big name pitchers. Hasn't done it yet in 6 years so I'm not surprised we didn't go that route. I'm fairly happy with how things turned out.

[PeaveyFury]

Last minute deal sends Jon Lester to the Cards, apparently.

That appears to have been a false report.

Well I hope he can’t join the team for a couple of days during this current series with the Braves, he’s just starting to heat up and has already killed the Brewers once in the past week.

Not going to lie. Horrible trade deadline for Stearns. We have an opportunity to win the World Series and Escobar…who I wanted…was the only guy we got? Really? Trevor Plouff…go walk a plank.

I was hoping we were done facing him this year. Has 3 HR in 4 games against the Brewers.

[PDCBalla]

I'm ready to hear who we were in on but couldn't figure out a deal with.

You... you did see the ML forum today, right?

This is why I never believe "sources" who have Brewers news.

I'd bet a lot of money that we talked to the Twins today. A lot of money.

I saw “Jorge Soler traded to Br” and immediately got excited. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read stuff on television over the years that starts out that way and I immediately think Brewers.

So just because you are not totally familiar with the relievers they traded for today, they don't exist?

That’s where I’d put my money as well.

Just pretend they got Adames today instead of back in May

[PeaveyFury]

Hansel Robles to the BoSox. Still deals trickling in, though mostly minor, as you'd expect.

[titletownking]

Trevor Plouffe should never be considered a reliable journalist or source again. Guy pounded the table for weeks claiming the brewers were gonna make these huge moves. I’m totally fine with the deadline we had because I thought the prices were insane but he couldn’t have been more wrong.

[Manty Brewer Fan]

How crazy that the end results of Stearns trades this season have been:

Willy Adames

Rowdy Tellez

John Curtiss

Daniel Norris

Eduardo Escobar

for

Alberto Ciprion

Payton Henry

JP Feyereisen

Drew Rasmussen

Reese Olson

Cooper Hummel

 

Only Escobar and Norris are rentals. Not too mention Hunter Strickland too.

 

Am I missing something??? That's some next level stuff right there.

Willy Adames was a better acquisition than anyone we could have gotten this week. Stearns unlike a lot of these GMs has been working for months so he wouldn't have to scramble out of desperation at the last minute and give away our best prospects for rentals.
