If they offer him 6/80MM, I’m sure he’ll promise to stay healthy
Andy Ledford
he’d better stay healthy for that kind of money. they only way I could see him getting that kind of extension is if it was a 6/60mm with PA incentives
MilwaukeeBravesFan
I wouldn’t give more than 6/50 with PA incentives
Andy Ledford
Oh I wouldn’t either. I was just saying that that’d be the only way he reaches 6/80. And I know you weren’t serious about that either hahaa
Sage
Good. I’d rather keep Weeks, if at all possible.
Also, our GM is Doug Melvin, not Bob Melvin haha

Brewers Again Negotiating Deal with 2B Rickie Bobby.

6/80… I’ve never heard you talk like that… Are we about to get it on? Because I’m as hard as a diamond in an ice storm right now.

0 chance Prince lands a 200 mil. contract. I see 20mil AAV, maybe 22, but never would go 200 with him.

Seems like it’s almost time for the Cubs to load down their payroll with another bad long-term contract.

10 years, 250 million – then move him to centerfield and bat him leadoff, because that’s what he demands. Go Cubbies.

I’ve got a feeling they will end up over paying him, nice insurance for when prince leaves or gets traded. Just hope they don’t end up haveing Bill Hall 2.0.

Even while slumping, Weeks actually knows how to take a walk. Bill Hall, not so much. If anything, Weeks and Hall are quite opposite – Weeks can get passive and watch too many balls, while Hall is overaggressive and attacks junk out of the zone.

I hope Mustache makes a deal and we keep him in Milwaukee. It’s hard not to love Rickie Weeks. He is and always has been the polar opposite of the Top 10 draft pick who feels that he can get by on talent alone and doesn’t have to put in the work. I’ve heard teammates and coaches say that he brings a football mentality to the game, is the first one on the field taking grounders and the last one out of the film room, and is as good a teammates as you can ask for approximately 6,428,916,830 times in the past 5 years. He is one of the most exciting players I’ve seen in Milwaukee in my 25 years. This is exactly the type of player, and person, that you should do whatever needs to be done to keep in your clubhouse.
That being said, and with his injury history, I say 4 Years/$48 Million with some incentives and a mutual option is fair. I also think that even if a deal doesn’t get made before spring training, it will at some point, even if he gets to free agency. I feel like he’s more valuable to the Brewers than anyone else, and we can’t afford to lose both pieces of the ultra-productive right side of our infield.

I agree gw. Rickie is extremely valuable to the Brewers especially with Prince leaving next year. Loosing the whole right half of the infield would be tough to replace especially with the amount of pop they both have. A Weeks signing should be a priority for the Crew as we can’t get many 2nd baseman with Weeks unique caliber for that position.
Sage
Couldn’t have said it any better myself. These are my sentiments, exactly. Rickie is worth much more to this team than he would be to other teams, and we need to re-sign him. He should be the top priority.

200 million for fielder………dream on fatty.
