You blamed Jerry for us not adding two SPs at the deadline. Money wasn’t the reason we didn’t add two and why I blamed Getz instead. I’m not defending Jerry as a cheap, shitty owner because he no doubt is.

Hasn't played since early 2025.Also have Willson Contreras, who is the better defender of him and Bauers at 1B. Probably looking at a timeshare at 1B/DH. Edited 6 hours ago6 hr by Bob Sacamano

5 minutes ago5 min Multiple executives expected Bauers to accept the $23.15 million qualifying offer from the Brewers -- more than nine times what he made in 2026 -- but Boston swooped in and locked him up with the first long-term deal of his career. Because the deal went for more than $50 million and the Brewers are revenue-sharing recipients, they will receive a compensatory draft pick between the end of the first round and competitive balance round A.espn.com
