Explain from the perspective of the Brewers why they would trade Haded when they’re in first place. That’s like someone on their message board suggesting trading for Bautista. 

Because he’s on the Padres

Well first because this isn’t 2022 and he is on the Padres … if you are going to make a snarky comment, it is usually best to know basic information.

Elias has been waiting on a Samuel Basallo for five years now. Proof to ownership that expensive international free agents is money well spent. Seemingly unlimited offensive ceiling as an an 18 year old who is OPSing .900. Shining example to future international free agents as to why they should sign here. Contingency plan at a pivotal position in case our current catcher signs elsewhere. High-character guy who coaches rave about.

I think he would pass on throwing him into a multiple-prospect package to increase our chances of winning the world series from 3% to 3.7%.

If we make the playoffs we already have better than 3% chance to win the World Series, and it would take quite a bit for us to miss the playoffs at this point. I'm sure Snell and Hader would increase our chances by more than 0.7% as well, but I get what you're trying to say and I agree.

Go get Hader … make it happen… do whatever it takes ... he is our Andrew Miller and his former Oriole history and being from Millersville makes the baseball karma god happy!!   Hometown ace returns us to the World Series 

Fuji, Cano, Hader, Bautista 

Do his former racist, homophobic and misogynistic tweets also make the baseball karma god happy?

FWIW, Baseball Trade Values says Snell and Hader for Norby, Basallo, Stowers is absolutely fleecing us. They have the player's surplus millions in value at Snell 7.2, Hader 2.9, Norby 8.7, Basallo 19.2, Stowers 2.9.

I'd do Norby and Stowers for Snell and Hader in a heartbeat, but I doubt the Padres would. This makes me think we could work something out without including Basallo though.

Don’t care. As long as he can do his job and he fits in the clubhouse that’s all that matters.

It doesn't look like anyone has really overpaid so far.

The problem is the market has already been set with the Giolito/Lopez trade. And BTV also thought that the White Sox fleeced the Angels.

Agreed, but my comment was in response to the karma comment. Just pointing out it's not all unicorns and rainbows.

I forgot about that. I get that he was 17/18, and kids do and say stupid things. But the repeated n bombs though. I’ll just say I hope that’s not what’s in his heart. I think if it was, there would’ve been more that came out after the tweets surfaced 5 years ago.

Dodgers rumored to be trying to pry Arenado from the Cardinals, and along with him, Montgomery or Flaherty.

The longer the Orioles sit on their hands, the the higher the price goes up.
