Also that’s former Marquette opponent Amir Garrett on the mound landing a few haymakers.

Garrett’s story is so wild. Literally was/is naturally so good at baseball, he got drafted and a 7 figure signing bonus off a pro day even though he didn’t play baseball his senior year at Findlay Prep because they didn’t have a team, and he wasn’t exactly decorated on the diamond leading up to that. AND got the Reds blessing to keep playing basketball. Remarkable

Such an interesting trade for the Indians and Reds.

Puig is clearly going to be suspended. Do the Indians go through with the trade?

I believe he was pulled and came back out.

According to this article he was still in the game which is odd the Reds would do that.

Bell had been ejected by that point I think.  Maybe his focus or attention wasn't there.

And the Indians 100% are still going through with the trade.  A 3 game suspension won't deter that.  They are 3 games back in the division and leading the wild card.  They got him for an October push.

To the Reds credit, they have made the hot stove much more interesting over the past year or two. I don't necessarily want the Brewers front office to operate like the Reds or say the Mariners, but the player movement market would be less interesting without them.

Agree to disagree. That team was a damn machine.

So was the '49-'53 Yankees winning 5 WS straight. In fact the Yankees won 10 WS in an 18 year span only missing the WS in '48, '54 and '59. Now there is a real machine winning consistently.

I would argue that the Yankees winning four in five years from 1996-2000 was a more impressive feat.

Point is, the Yankees have had several teams better than the 1975-76 Reds.

I would agree with you now with all the playoff games and they almost beat the Diamondbacks in 2001. That '98 team was pretty impressive if not the greatest team ever.

Cannot argue with that, though that Reds team was one outstanding team. I believe if it was not for free agency the Reds could have had one or two more WS during that time.

Aguilar to the Rays for Jake Faria.  Kind of a cool trade for each team.  Rays get the bat, Brewers get an arm.  Each experiencing a down year, each with some upside.

Can't wait.  Wow.  Has to be pretty significant.  Could be a combo or relievers too.  Something like that.

Drew Pomeranz.

Terrible.  I'd assume there has to be more coming back to Milwaukee.

Sure does.  Pomeranz has been great since moving to the bullpen.  A whopping 5.1 inning sample size.  The Brewers love themselves very average pitching this season.  Stearns is just gathering up every pitcher with a 4.50-6.00 ERA.

@sabermetrics
Among 153 pitchers with at least 150 IP in the last two seasons, Drew Pomeranz’s ERA ranks 152nd (5.87).

@sabermetrics
Pomeranz has also allowed the...
Highest OPS
Highest BAbip
Second-highest BA
Second-highest OBP
Seventh-highest SLG

Ray Black has to be the real target here, right? He's under team control through 2025 (not sure how as he's 29, without doing much looking I think he's just been hurt all the time?) and can hit 100 on the gun.  If he can stay anything close to healthy, he might be an asset in the bullpen for a long time... but your #3 prospect still seems like a lot of risk for what is already the worst ranked farm system in baseball. There is value in volume, and the Brewers are are running on empty.

Is Dubron really that much of a prospect?  He's doing well at AAA no doubt, but he's 25 and older than Arcia.  And with Arcia still not hitting arbitration, and Hiura locked in at second for the next half-decade, there was not much room for him in Milwaukee.

Of course that doesn't mean this is a good trade.  I just don't know if the Brewers really thought Dubron had much of a future here.

I think you guys may have hit on it. Pomeranz is strictly a rental to get a few turns in the rotation.  He'll be gone next year.  Black is under control for what amounts to the rest of his career. And Dubon was totally blocked.  Now whether getting more was possible, we'll never know.  But obviously Stearns didn't think so.
