I can see the Cards making a move to bring back Lohse. His value isn’t high, hasn’t pitched well so far this season but I bet that will turn around.

You may be right, but I don’t see them making another deal in division…The deal for axford honestly shocked me, because teams regularly don’t want to deal with each other (Possible prospects playing/not playing out)…..So yeah, I see Cards going big or stay in house until Gonzalez or someone else is totally healthy.
Bill 21
Perhaps so. But if Brewers go all-fire-sale and offer him cheap enough, and his game picks up, a 36+ year old pitcher trade between division rivals might not be that big a deal.

It was Axford for Michael Blazik another RP who’s going to have what? 55-65IP of impact to be worried about. He’s not a Rosenthal/Chapman/Kimbrel Closer skilled RP that would make one hesitant to deal away within the division.
But I do agree, I doubt the Cardinals trade for Lohse. I don’t think they have the right prospects to make a solid trade for Milw. Their top are too good impact worry types. And that 2nd tier is filled with types Milw already possesses.
Blazik was I believe #7 in the team’s ranking when he was traded for a RP with problems. Lohse is a SP with less problems and should be valued more but Alex Reyes/Rob Kaminsky are in the too much to give up for a rental of Lohse’s pedigree imo.

Not a bad point, but like Bill mentioned the chances of a fire sale are pretty good. I doubt it would take much to get Lohse at this point. I don’t think it will happen right away, I agree that the Cards are going to see what happens internally first. Cooney seems like a good option to me, Gonzalez and maybe Garcia as well. Only problem I see is that none of those options are going to be able to eat the innings, Lohse has proven he can.

To me, If the Cards make a trade, it;s not for a short term fix…Cards have alot of big name prospects, such as Marco and Carlos and even Alex Reyes who as in the process of getting their feet wet, but guys like Hamels, and Price, need a specific team to help them…Cards could really win with anyone they put out, they have the potential for a great lineup and I think the best rotation still in baseball…..So if you add a Hamels/Price I hope they don’t give up a young one in return lol…

The now 4-17 Brewers SHOULD begin selling off pieces in the near future. It’s time, seriously. Any hope for this season and this current roster competing is just flat-out denial. I’m sure Lohse and Garza are available, but they are obviously not the most valuable assets we have. Perhaps the first to go, sure, but certainly not the best we can offer. If we go all-out fire sale (which we should), Gomez and Lucroy could bring a King’s ransom each.

What are the Brewers going to get for a 36 yr old over priced number four starter ?
Seth 3
Salary relief
Bob M.
Bryan Price has no idea what he is doing.

I like it. Challenging his pitcher to improve on the things he needs to improve on.
Better than flip-flopping at least.
