    Even still, that is kinda light for a player as valuable as Yelich is. He's probably a top 5 player in terms of value when you factor in his contract.

    It's a good haul but if they wanted Acuna from us, then thats a bit light imo.

    Yeah i wouldnt give up Acuna for him but if they could do something like Riley, Pache, Wright, and Wentz, then yeah. But the Marlins may have wanted a couple high end position players.

    The Marlins settled for less again when they should've waited for a bigger return. The Brewers have a very good GM and he just schooled the Marlins GM.

    Before someone says something, I’m kidding — that’s a haul. Good to see the Brewers going hard though.

    I know nothing of these prospects, but if they’re less impressive than what Atlanta offered, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Marlins either preferred a good outfielder in any deal or demanded a greater return from a division rival.

    If the cost was Acuna or nothing, then im fine with passing on Yelich.

    If they couldnt work something out with others then yeah.

    So it would have cost us Acuna, Allard and Say Jackson...that’s stiff.

    Interesting, if it was Acuna or bust then yeah i dont blame AA at all here.

    @CraigMish
    Again there were like 20-25 teams in on Yelich. Only Brewers and Blue Jays made a dent. All other teams not close. Two team race in the end.

    Going by the BA top 100.

    Brinson was 18, Harrison was 75, and the other two were unranked.

    Gohara was 23 and Soroka was 27. would have need one of those

    Riley at 54

    Fried at 72

    Feels like Soroka, Riley, Fried should have been able to get it done.

    I think I woulda pulled the trigger

    The idiots that do that show at talking chop were willing to trade Albies as the headliner for Yelich. I thought that any trade headlining Acuna or Albies was not wise. I'd hate seeing either of them vs the Marlins every year.

    I think the Marlins wanted an impact hitter in return.

    That was the Brewers 1, 3, 6, and 21st prospects but the Braves 1, 3, 6, 21 is a hell of a lot different than other teams prospects.

    I expect they were still asking Acuna plus from us and AA said no. Maybe they said okay no Acuna give us Albies as suggested by Talking Chop recently, but either way AA would be right to say no at this point IMO.

    Yeah i was ok with getting him but Ozzie/Acuna were off limits, anyone else in the system is fair game.

    Not if they valued Brinson as similar to Acuna and wanted one of them as a headliner.

    I'm not sure the Marlins would have taken a pitcher as the centerpiece.

    A more likely package would have been Albies plus Riley or Pache. Maybe Gohara plus Riley or Pache.

    That would have been a tough package for the Braves to give up.

    If the Brewers turn around and sign Cain, that opens them up to trade an OFer to the Braves. Santana for Teheran makes some sense.

    I was hopeful after hearing the talks at the GM meetings, but then changed my mind after hearing they want not just Acuna. They wanted a package of players headlined by him. That was not just a no from me, that would be a hell no...

    Yeah Acuna's untouchable, sure he could bust but i'll take the risk he wont and let the chips fall where they may.
