    Brewers Milwaukee Brewers Sign Lorenzo Cain, Trade For Christian Yelich

    Two pretty significance moves by Milwaukee. I ran a couple seasons with them in OOTP which was a lot of fun but I never thought about making these moves. I love seeing the Brewers going for it here and really trying to capitalize on their time frame in which they feel like they can really compete. I doubt their moves are finished as they now have a surplus of outfielders but damn, I am glad something finally happened.

    Trading for Yelich was good, but they signed Cain to too many years. But good for them for making moves now rather than stand pat with Santana, Broxton, Phillips, and Brinson and to "trust the process", because we saw how Marte and Polanco didn't exactly pan out for Pittsburgh during their window to win while they had McCutchen in his prime.

    Yeah, they might have given Cain too many years but I can't fault them in the slightest. You said it yourself, Pirates fan would have loved to have seen their front office make a move like this.

    I applaud the Brewers recognizing their time is now and going for it full blast. That is something both Cincinnati and Pittsburgh could take a lesson from.

    Pittsburgh has been doing that. They just never were fully successful and are abruptly switching gears now.

    Yeah. They never had everything come together at once and had terrible luck with running into buzsaw pitchers in the post season. They should have made a few more moves to put them over the edge but they didn’t. Teams like Pittsburgh have to draft well and seize the moment like the royals did. They have a 3-4 year window every 6 years if you do it right. But for the buccos it could be another 20 years.

    Well, when your postseason is a winner-take-all wild card game, you're bound to run into a buzzsaw or a guy like Charlie Morton having the run of his life. Which begs the question why didn't Morton start in either of those wildcard games?
