For a team with legitimate postseason aspirations, the Brewers are really taking a gamble with their fourth infield spot

This doesn’t come off well, but I actually see the point he’s trying to make. @joeposnanski.bsky.social often talks about the Nationals/Soto conundrum: would you rather maximize the chance to win a World Series by selling him and tanking, or get to cheer for Juan Soto for 20 years?

Juan Soto is 26 and he already looks like a 47-year-old youth baseball coach

Honus Wagner was essentially the best position player in the NL in every season from 1900-1912 except one. (This speaks more to the NL’s crop of pos players than to Wagner, but still!)

I also came up with a little measure I call "Peak Score," basically just a number that measures how good a player was at their peak, and Judge's is 24th all time, 13th for anyone who played at all after WW2. (Mike Trout, by the way, is 9th/6th)

My MLB equivalent of the Luka trade: Soto for Harper (and like your team’s number 9 prospect). Both really good, Soto better, Harper not always healthy and older, lots of money tied up in both.

note that Contreras is only in his first year of arbitration, so the team still has another year of control even beyond next year's option.

John Axford gets onto the Brewers' Wall of Honor! When I had a very DIY Brewers blog in the early 2010s, I would get about 100 views per article, but one day when I wrote something about him in spring training Axford shared it on his FB page. My biggest day by about 10x!

It’s me, irresponsibly speculating about who could be available in trades

He (and, well, Saquon) also won me my fantasy league, which is more important than all of these stats

Years ago I asked Ichiro the 5 people living or dead invite to dinner question. "That's a lot of people!" he said before listing Picasso, George Sisler, Beethoven, Franz Schubert and "If he knew how to speak human,' his dog Ikkyu. "So I could ask him what he was thinking all the time." #IchiroHOF

After the Dodgers got Roki Sasaki and Tanner Scott, I fumed about baseball economics for a while, and this was the question that emerged from that fuming session.
