2022 Hot Stove League

Aaron Judge gets a record 9-year, $360 million deal from the Yankees. The money in MLB in absolutely off the charts!

A little late, but Brewers traded Kolten Wong for Jesse Winker & Abraham Toro from the Mariners.

Some NL Central news: Willson Contreras to the Cards. Cubs sign Jameson Taillon & Cody Bellinger.

Brewers might make a good move and bring varsho home.

Varsho would be a good get. If they did make that move I wonder if they would move him back to catcher as his primary position. Caught 31 games this year and 41 in 2021. That is a bigger need than outfielder imo.

Nice pickups by the Brewers today of all star catcher William Contreras from the Braves as well as reliever Joel Payamps from the A's. They also get a minor league reliever from the Braves who has put up decent numbers so far as high as AA. The Brewers gave up OF Estuary Ruiz in the three team deal, who goes to Oakland. So when we evaluate the Hader trade in a few years, these new acquisitions should be factored in.

This means it is not likely the Brewers will get Varsho. Even if the rumor had any merit, I'm guessing the DBacks' asking price is too high. Besides, anytime the Brewers are mentioned by pundits in a potential deal whether via trade or free agent signing, it almost never happens. Their deals almost always come out of the clear blue.

Love this deal! Feels like we still need another bat or 2.

[kman24]

Fleeced them. Kept waiting to hear what else we were giving up and then that was it.

Another nice thing with this deal is we aren't really adding salary, so should have plenty of room left to make another addition or two.
