I'm sorry to see Nasty Nestor leave my Yankees but he'll be good in Milwaukee.

I'm not sure Durbin is just a throw in.

I hope he is more than that, but let's be real.  He's a fringe prospect.   He was the Yankees #25 prospect.  He was a 14th round pick from DIII.  Yes, AFL Breakout POY this year, so was Oliver Dunn a year before who the Brewers grabbed last offseason, who showed little in a brief appearance last season.

Durbin has a few tools, so we'll see.

Nick Madrigal with more speed. Zero power and his exit velocity last year would have been at the bottom of MLB.

Cortes had shoulder & elbow issues last year. If he holds up, though, One year of him will help more than one year of Devin.

Tigers sign Gleyber Torres.  Colt Keith to first.  Anybody need a Torkelson?

That feels like a bargain for one-year of Torres. I know returns have diminished the last two seasons but he'll only be 28 and playing for another opportunity at a long-term deal.  Have to admit, I kind of hoped Milwaukee kicked the tires on him, especially on that kind of deal

Burned to Arizona.  The Diamondbacks can count on Burnes to be the last person to help them stop any skid they get on but he's a great front runner if they get ahead

Bad memories. I went to the last game he pitched in Milwaukee and he blew an early lead against the Dbacks in the Playoffs.

When they announced Woodruff was out and needed Burnes to pitch a gem, that was an easy loss to see coming

Cheap ass Tigers at it again.  $10.15 for one year for Skubal.

It's almost like they have this system in place for a reason.

I understand arbitration and its purpose, but the way some teams approach it is not created equal.

Like the Red Sox, purported to be in the Soto sweepstakes, but offering $500K less than asked for their young star, Duran.  Especially when his ask was almost $1MM under expected

Right? It's a strange take that the Brewers should automatically meet the demands of the player, and if they don't, they're "cheap."

Regardless what's the downside? That he'll be mad or something?

Arbitration offering less is fine. But grinding a young star through it endlessly rightfully puts a bad taste in one's mouth. 500k of goodwill to plan for the future is nothing!
