  • Rafael Devers seeking $300m extension - Is an Adames Extension Even a Realistic Possibility?

    Of course, Rafael Devers asking for $300m is quite different from Rafael Devers getting $300m from the Red Sox but it's an alarming ask as the Brewers look to extend one of Adames, Burnes, or Woodruff.

    Devers and Willy Adames are actually really good comps. Through five seasons, Adames has posted a 15.1 bWAR while through six seasons, Devers has posted a 15.2 bWAR. The two players posted an identical 4.4 bWAR in 2022. Devers has the advantage in career OPS+ - 124 to Adames' 111 number - but Adames has the defensive advantage of being a good shortstop.

    Devers has both the age and service time advantage, though, which drives up his price a fair amount. He's one year younger than Adames and one year closer to free agency - 2023 is his final arbitration year so he can almost taste free agency in these negotiations.

    If Devers actually receives anything close to $300m from the Red Sox - let's say $250m+ - does that take an Adames extension off the table for the Brewers?

    I am relieved we can't afford to hand Adames $190mil. 

    I would have to pandemic hoard popcorn to watch that unfold over the years. 

    I hope and pray that the FO in Milwaukee is done signing players to long term contracts over $100 million.

    Then we better continue draft and trade well... Otherwise could be some long ass summers in Milwaukee...

    Once we lose Corbin, Brandon and Willy we could be in trouble if we dont acquire good players for these guys.
