Would you consider Ryan Braun?

[Dark Helmet]

He's guaranteed roughly $76m over the next 4 years, with an option for 2021. Would you consider it if the Brewers took Jimenez and Gallardo and say Christian Walker? That would put us on the hook for roughly $50m for Braun. Just curious.

I just don't see the Brewers trading Braun unless they get legitimate prospects in return. I'm also sure they're very familiar with Gallardo and his ever declining velocity since he spent a good chunk of his career in Milwaukee. The only way we get ride of Gallardo or Jimenez is if it's a complete salary dump. No one will give us anything of value for either player. Certainly not someone of Braun's caliber.

I don't think we would dump both of Gallardo and Jiminez. And would they really want both?

 

id think he'd be worth 12.25 per year over the 33-37 years seasons for sure. He seems to be doing fine without PEDs.

 

are they looking to trade him?

[Aristotelian]

Jimenes and Gallardo? Brewers would laugh in your face. They can move Braun for prospects without taking on other contracts. Braun is coming off a .900 OPS season.

I'm not so sure. Braun is made of glass. He basically set out games every week last season because of lingering injuries.

He was mentioned as a trade candidate. And Braun commented that it's hard not knowing where he'll be next year. I meant to say Jimenez or Gallardo, but if they'd take both fine lol. I'm sure they would want Mancini over Walker, but start low.

For some reason, I thought Gallardo and Jimenez each had 2 years left. I don't know why.

If he plays 135 games (avg the last 3 years) hits .300 with a OBP 60 points higher and 25 dingers he still worth every cent.

Gallardo, Jimenez and Christian Walker? You have to be kidding.

He can only be traded to teams on the west coast anyway because of his NTC.

Yeah it would take more for sure. 

 

Maybe be he would waive the NTC.

Make a suggested trade then that isn't a joke. No point keep repeating you think it's a joke otherwise.

And that's not meant to be rude. What would be fair value for Braun in your opinion.

And they would probably hang up the phone. Sure I would trade for Braun, if all the O's are doing is sending them Gallardo or Ubaldo's salary, with Mancini or Walker attached. . Who wouldnt? Unless the Brewers are hemorrhaging cash (the Dodgers and Diamondbacks are both reportedly have cash flow problems) I dont see them trading Braun. Wouldnt the Nats, Blue jays, Yankees Phillies, basically every other big market team want to be in on this?

Perception-wise alone, so their fans dont think they are waving a white flag, the Brewers would want a stud player for him. 

[Moondoggie]

I'd take Braun in a minute, but it would take Gausman or Bundy to get him. The Brewers would be looking for young ready or nearly ready talent in return and the Orioles just don't have that. Perfect fit, but they've got nothing to trade.
