  1. Since we (me I’ll take the blame) are giving this guy some merit, he says Marlins have requested final offers on Yelich. Post 671. His source also thinks they have a good shot at getting him, I hope not. He added some more after saying 95% chance he goes to Brewers, go to the Padres, Braves or Sox please. “And the Braves, White Sox, Padres and Nationals are the reason it's not 100%. With the Braves being the biggest threat. Plus I know the Brewers offer. And no I'm not telling anyone here or even giving the SLIGHTEST hints. That gets some people in trouble if you know what I mean. Be ready though...... It's gonna sting a little bit.” http://forum.brewerfan.net/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=36295&start=660
  2. It's going to be tough to cool down with our window closing this swiftly. Cubs play in Milwaukee in early April. When do Brewers single game tickets go on sale? I would like to see Darvish in his second start as a Cub vs the Vaunted Brewers They go on sale around whenever ours usually do, late February maybe? There’s always cheap tickets available on StubHub or whatever though. You can get good seats for under $75 a ticket and in the door for under $25. Though may be a bit more this year since Brewer fans think they are good.
  3. Just tell them that's what you're hearing Yeah go full Heyman on it and add in some qualifiers/outs
  4. I bet Cleveland was really upset when they traded him to Texas instead. They were, Lucroy vetoed the trade and didn’t have the greatest things to say about Cleveland iirc
  5. Yeah don’t shoot the messenger but that guy they say broke the Lucroy trade and few other things in the last 2-4 years and has sources
  6. The Brewer fan message board guy who knows things says we got Darvish. Post 162, the board seems to vouch for him and he says he has sources and has broken stuff before..... http://forum.brewerfan.net/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=36301&start=160
  7. Can you imagine the window the Brewers are closing if they get Yelich? Marlins asked for Acuna from the Braves, apparently. The Brewers don’t even have a top 20 prospect, so many windows would be closed if they make a move.
  8. It’s kinda weird all the sudden all this Brewers news is leaking. Almost like they just want to fake show fans they are trying, don’t end up with anyone and then can justify starting Gallardo and Sogards of the world when they win 72 games and be like “what are ya gonna do, we tried to get good players, just didn’t work out/got outbid.”
  9. Yes, yes he is
  10. I was really hoping he was going to be the guy to get the job as well, but overall should be a solid booth. I feel like Vasgersian is going to try to be the show and talk over A-Rod and Jessica though.

  12. There’s been some really good and delusional stuff on that board the last 48 hours or so, if you have the time and want some laughs and be in utter disbelief about how ones thoughts are formed in the most illogical ways go read some of their active transactions threads
  13. Yuck on six years, right? Right? All I said was I could live with it if it was structured the right way with AAV, front loaded and an opt out at some point. Ideally yeah it ends up being 5/110-120 on the high side but we will see.
  14. Got it, thanks. So offseason would likely be game replays, some sort of Cubs news show maybe once a week, some original programming/documentaries, The Score Simulcasts and like Loyola/UIC/NIU basketball games
  15. I could live with 6/150, was hoping 6/130 was the top. But from an AAV standpoint I can live with it. Especially if it’s front loaded a bit with real money.
  16. Anyone in the YES market know what they show in the offseason? Do they contract with like a lower level college conference to show games for football/basketball? I’m sure there would be some added Cubs original programming stuff but can only have so much of that.
  17. No idea who this is but relates to my post above
  18. Don’t know if this is new, news or not https://mobile.nytimes.com/aponline/2018/01/22/sports/baseball/ap-bbn-cubs-darvish.html?partner=IFTTT&referer=https://t.co/MV0EPG3W79?amp=1
  19. The Brewer message board guy who has sources now says the Brewers will not be getting Darvish after saying earlier today they were making a big push and wanted a decision soon in order to make other moves if he decided on going elsewhere.....
  20. Good. I hate Jason Kidd and think he's an idiot. Bucks can do better, and need to do better before Giannis and Bledsoe decide to go elsewhere. PS: I hope the Bulls target Giannis if he ever becomes disgruntled and pushes for a trade out of Milwaukee. You and every team in the league but yeah agree on all that. iirc Giannis made some ominous quotes this summer about leaving in free agency when his contract is up in 3-4 years.
  21. There's some stuff in this article about their relationship and this offseason.... Our coach is running a jag on 3 bottles of wine half the time, we have wild animals and magicians show up pre-game and we have techno dance parties after games, Yu don't need to worry about rules with us. https://www.twincities.com/2017/12/12/relationship-with-twins-gm-thad-levine-could-be-game-changer-for-yu-darvish/
  22. Fangraphs says 12/9 on Lester and 12/23 on Ross
