beekay414 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Interest to see the $$$ value here... Also, because he had a QO attached, do we lose our pick or do the Dodgers just gain one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 So just a little more than the QO. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrubes20 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 That's honestly a good deal for both the Brewers and Grandal. Grandal gets a year to rebuild his value in a hitter's park after the disaster that was his end of 2018, and the Brewers get a big upgrade at C in what looks to be an extremely competitive NL Central.

tom cody Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 nice pickup for the Brewers, Grandal's a good 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramssuperbowl99 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 https://blogs.fangraphs.com/yasmani-grandal-is-better-than-this/ Very good article. This deal should not be possible, frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This deal should not be possible, frankly. I agree that he should have more than a one year deal, teams are also looking at the back end of contracts and not wanting to get stuck with an investment that is on the downswing. Grandal is a 30 year old catcher. Giving him what many projected- four years at $60 million- isn't a smart investment unless you are a luxury tax team. Grandal giving a full return on that investment behind the plate is an extremely risky proposition. As far as Milwaukee goes, yeah, they made a huge upgrade, but what about starting pitching? They're going to have an average at best- likely below average rotation- and it reminds me of the Orioles after 2014. Their bullpen isn't going to continue to make things up for them. They had the cost-controlled major league outfielder that the Indians wanted, all they had to do was add in Hiura or a package of another top prospect in their organization and they likely would have had their pick of Kluber or Bauer from the Indians. Jimmy Nelson will be fully healthy, and putting Kluber/Bauer and Nelson onto a team that was 1 win away from a World Series would make them favorites in that division and for the World Series itself.

redsoxsuck05 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 They were starting Erik Kratz in the playoffs for godsakes. With Cain turning 33 and Yelich in his prime I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we trade Keston Hiura, our only viable "close to ready" minor league middle infielder, when we have massive issues at 2B and SS for a SP when we have youth there that's flashed in the bigs? Trading Hiura for Kluber made no sense for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Lol this is the best a 3 win catcher in the prime of his career can get? Yeah no, there needs to be major labor stoppage because this is an abject joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
