It's because he knows MIL will continue to be greater than the sum of their parts. They have similar philosophy, building teams with suffocating defense and athleticism, and they continue to churn out great pitching. The Craig Yoho guy has a changeup that drops more than Devin Williams', for example. If 2nd half Chourio is who they get moving forward, that's the type of player who basically wins your division for you every year. They have a better system than ours according to several publications, with multiple guys getting elite helium ATM. He knows the Brewers have reigned over the division more or less for the last 7 years. They are not going to be as easy to knock off as many expect. And if that have worse injury luck than the Brewers then they will probably find themselves fighting for a WC.
Jed could have done way better this winter. Jumping the market to get Boyd still doesn't sit well with me. We could have taken his and Rea's money and gotten a real difference-maker.
