Brewers Still Seeking Rotation Upgrades, Could Deal From Outfield Surplus

By Steve Adams | January 26, 2018 at 9:26am CDT

The Brewers are the talk of Major League Baseball at present, having pulled off a blockbuster trade to acquire Christian Yelich and agreed to a five-year deal with Lorenzo Cain in a span of mere hours. Milwaukee is hardly done for the offseason, though, and reports from Bob Nightengale of USA Today (Twitter link) and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (subscription link) highlight the various avenues they can take toward further improvement.

Milwaukee is shopping outfielders Domingo Santana and Keon Broxton as it looks for an upgrade to its rotation, according to Nightengale. Rosenthal suggests a bit more softly that the Brewers are open to offers on Santana but aren’t eager to trade him, hoping instead to at times run out an outfield of Yelich, Cain and Santana. The organization has discussed the idea of utilizing Ryan Braun at first base on occasion, Rosenthal adds. While Yelich, Cain, Santana, Braun and Eric Thames make five players for four spots, though certainly that depth wouldn’t be a bad thing for the Brewers to carry into the 2018 season.

Broxton, it seems, is something of an odd man out following yesterday’s acquisitions. The 27-year-old served as the Brewers’ primary center fielder in 2017 and hit .220/.299/.420 with 20 homers and 21 steals through 463 plate appearances. Broxton, though, also struck out at a staggering 37.8 percent clip and delivered mixed results in the outfield. Both Defensive Runs Saved (-7) and Ultimate Zone Rating (-2.2) considered him below average, whereas Statcast’s Outs Above Average metric credited him at +9 outs, ranking him among the game’s 15 best overall outfielders.

Broxton certainly has his warts, but the 27-year-old is controllable through the 2022 season and won’t even be arbitration-eligible until next offseason at the earliest (when he’s likely to be a Super Two player). In many regards, he fits the criteria of what the Giants are looking for in a minimum-salary center field option. He’s also out of minor league options, so if he’s not going to play a role on the Brewers in 2018, he figures to be traded.

Santana, meanwhile, is controlled through the 2021 season and is coming off an excellent season in which he batted .278/.371/.505 with 30 homers and 29 doubles. His superior production in 2017 would assuredly make him a costlier asset in trade talks with the Brewers, though he’s also a vastly superior asset for the Brewers when attempting to pry a big league starter away from clubs in trade talks.

Brett Phillips stands out as another potentially available outfielder currently in the Brewers’ mix. The 23-year-old hit .276/.351/.448 with four homers and five steals through 98 PAs as a rookie this past season, though like Broxton, he struggled with a sky-high strikeout rate (34.7 percent). The strikeout woes weren’t limited to that brief MLB exposure, either, as Phillips whiffed at a 29.9 percent clip in the minors, too. He also posted BABIP marks north of .400 in both the Majors and Triple-A in 2017, suggesting that his production was somewhat overstated. Nonetheless, the former top prospect should draw interest, as he’s controllable all the way through 2023 and does have minor league options remaining.

While the Brewers’ now considerable outfield surplus makes the possibility of a trade fairly obvious, the team could also still pursue starters on the free-agent market. Rosenthal characterizes a signing of Yu Darvish or Alex Cobb as unlikely, though the market for starters has been stagnant to the point that nearly every lower-tier option remains available for the Brewers to explore.

    Yup. It will be interesting to see what happens with Braun and Santana. On the one hand Braun could move the first base and hopefully avoid those small injuries that seem to plague him every season. On the other hand, Santana does strike out a bit more than you’d like, and he doesn’t project to improve much in that department.

      This is exactly why the NL could benefit from having a DH. It gives abs for players like Santana and Phillips who are still under development. Just sayin

        Nice thought, but MLB won’t implement DH just so they can give extra at bats to those classified as “Under Development.”

        If such a thing were done, it would likely increase the amount of pinch-hitters because when those underdeveloped come to bat during a crucial situation of the game, managers likely will deploy members of the bench instead.

          I don’t think it would change any more than in the American league game. If you take out the dh you have to make a pitching change. I’m completely against having g the dh at all and hope that if they did make it for both leagues they would tweak the system. Like the starting dh comes out when the fielder he’s designated too does

          Right now it’s Anderson/Davies/Chacin as locks. Suter, Guerra, Woodruff and Gallardo (probably in that order) for #4 & #5, and those two battling to stay in the rotation when Nelson comes back.

          LOL. Yeah, maybe if their goal is to hang around the WC race they can get away with one. But if they’re really going for it, they need a fairly complete pitching staff replacement. For one thing, the history of guys coming back from serious shoulder injuries is — on the optimistic end — a year of so-so results before full strength returns. Davies and Anderson are mid-rotation at best. Chacin was a Petco fluke, and their depth is really, really young. That’s not remotely a championship rotation. I have serious questions about their pen too. They overperformed last year and I like Knebel, but there’s a frightening lack of consistency among that crowd. They have a ways to go if they’re really gonna push their chips in.

          Anderson had a 2.74 ERS. Who’s “mid-rotation” has that quality of a guy? He’s a #2, becomes a #1 if he can duplicate last year’s production. They need a #1, I would agree, but if you add another #1 type option, that rotation is stacked with 3 #1/#2 type pitchers (Nelson, Anderson). yes Nelson is coming off injury, but it wasn’t Tommy John which is what usually takes a toll in production in the first year. By all accounts, Nelson’s recovery is faster than expected and is throwing soon if not already.

          They had the 10th best SP ERA in all of baseball last year, and did that while starters like Guerra, Peralta and Garza got destroyed half the time.

          Eliminating those starters already puts them in a better position to be a playoff team, and while they should probably add to their SP rotation, it’s NOT a glaring weakness.

          Chacin was a Petco fluke? You do realize he produced in Coors right? Does that mean Lester is a mid level rotation guy? Had the same era and less wins than Davies last year. If we add a legit ace and Nelson takes time to get back up our rotation would still be solid. Ace/Anderson/Nelson/Davies/Chacin is a better 1-5 than most teams. We do need pen help (hopefully a set up arm) and 2B I agree. But we won 86 games last year with a worse offense and Peralta/Garza on the staff. Come on man get a clue.

          Don’t you think you should tap the brakes a little on Anderson? He had a very nice season last year, but I don’t think I can claim someone is a definite 2 working on 1 status after one 25 start season with an ERA south of 3.00. He’s also thirty, which doesn’t bode well for a higher ceiling. I think he has to be considered a mid level three at best right now until he proves himself capable of staying healthy and relating his 2017 numbers.

      That is not even a serious offer for an established quality ML SP.

      Broxton and Thames might get the Brewers a back of the rotation guy but they needed Yellich and Cain because to be totally honest their OF was really not that good, especially from an offensive stand point.

          If I were the indians I would do the Santana for Salazar/Kipnis if the brewers would take most or all or Kipnis contract. Saves them around 20 million this year and next. They could turn around and offer a competitive deal for JD Martinez. I know it’s a long shot that both these things happen but it gives Cleveland a much improved outfield as well as some stability with Brantley and Chisenhal both being free agents and a better right/left balance.

          Thing is, the Brewers do have the salary space available for the next two seasons. Most of what appears to be the core with be in the middle of their arbitration years in 2020, so ’18 & ’19 has some room.

          If they took Broxton instead for Salazar/Kipnis with the Brewers picking up all of Kipnis’ salary…

        Broxton is cheap and under team control through 2022. He also did go 20-20 last year with solid defense in CF. not to mention the salary dump they would get by moving Duffy. Especially since they won’t contend any time soon.

          So they are going to keep 4yr/60M on the books while they don’t contend for that entire contract? Look at the return Cole brought. Duffy won’t match that return and cole’s wasn’t great to begin with. Broxton/prospect is probably the best Duffy will return

          They would need to throw in Brett Phillips to make the offer better. Broxton right now is a drop or a bench player value. With so few starters on the market KC would get a much better offer than Broxton.

      I don’t see the value in Thames or Broxton, Thames had a career year at age 31 and there is no indication that he will continue to trend upward. Broxton at 27 years of age doesn’t seem like a good investment. Low BA, OBA and at the best average fielding. Santana also had a career year and he could be trending up. He has always had a strong OBA, even with a league average BA. I can understand why Milwaukee made the moves they did and applaud them for it, but I don’t think their cast offs are worth frontline pitching.

          SF is trying to stay under the luxury tax so they want to get rid of Shark to free up money, taking on Brauns contract or even splitting the difference doesn’t help them do that. They want a cheap CF that keeps them under the tax threshold, perfect fit for Keon or Phillips.

          Shark was actually a pretty good pitcher last year. The Giants would only deplete their starting pitching more (they need two starters as it is). Braun wouldn’t be who they would want – it would be Santana or Broxton.

          I’m not sure if Beede is enough of an improvement over Suter to make that move. I think Beede will turn into a 3-5 starter in the bigs in due time but I think the Brewers are looking for a clear upgrade to bump Suter

          They’re probably not getting a clear upgrade over Suter for Broxton though. Beede at least gives them another option or more depth to trade from. If they want an improvement it’s going to have to be Santana moved.

          Hate to tell you this but a few teams asked about Shark this off season. He is a back up plan for teams not getting one of the FA starters. Of course they couldn’t get prospects for him but they could trade him for a fringe player and not needing to send over any money.

          With three years and $57 million remaining, the Jeff Samardzija contract is a good one.

          Last season Samardzija ranked 15th among all pitchers in fWAR, one slot ahead of Yu Darivsh, who has been projected to land a six-year, $160 million contract.

          Samardzija has posted 6.5 fWAR, valued at $61.6 million, in the first two years of his five-year, $90 million contract with the Giants.

          Steamer projects 2018 WAR of 3.5 in 202 innings for Samardzija and 3.6 in 179 innings for Darivsh. Steamer projects Braun with a 2018 WAR of 1.5 in 522 plate appearances.

          You are really going to use projections to argue why he has a good contract? Projections dont mean anything. Also WAR for pitchers is extremely flawed. Look at the difference between fWAR and bWAR. Of course fWAR loves samardzija because he doesn’t walk guys. Look at how bad he is when teams put the ball in play. He is an innings eater who you cant count on for anything in october. No team has had him as a “backup” plan. Have you seen how slow this market is. There are so many better guys out there. Not a word has been said about shark. Last rumbling was in August the Astros were intrested. Thats it

        What do you think Santana’s value will be as a 4th OF with a fraction of AB’s?

        I’d think Odor’s value is easily a backend top 100 spect + and this would be decent building blocks. Maybe another smaller piece from the Rays (not Hu, Yarby, Yonny..maybe something like York, Wood, etc).

        Santana isn’t that valuable. 2017 was the first time he’s looked remotely like that, and it came with an abnormally high BABiP (especially for a fly-ball hitter). He’s a terrible fielder. And corner outfielders are not in demand, even a little. I think Odorizzi is about right, maybe actually too much. Not sure he’d start in Tampa if they didn’t have a DH spot.

Also, might need to take into consideration the fact that every team in baseball knows the Brewers have a glut of OF’s, which shouldn’t exactly help get max value on a return…

        The Giants offered expensive, long-term contracts to too many veterans, such as the Shark. Teams are learning from this mistake and others, and that’s one of the reasons that the free agency market has changed this year. Smart GMs know that offering these kind of contracts are, at best, a 50/50 gamble. With pitchers, they don’t often payoff, and then you’re stuck with a veteran’s big contract that you can’t unload.

    Santana to the M’s for Erasmo Ramirez and Marco Gonzalez, or Mike Leake. Two potential starters for this year, Ramirez as more of a stop-gap, and Gonzalez and a young controllable asset to match Santana’s 4-years of control. Santana or Haniger can transition to left field.

      So. Seattle has an outfield of Ben Gamel, Guillermo Heredia platooning in left, with Dee Gordon in Center, and Mitch Haniger in right. Haniger had a solid rookie season, and Gamel/Heredia deserve the chance to play. Meanwhile, Santana can’t play defense, and the Marines just don’t have a need for them. Meanwhile, if their rotation already isn’t in not so great shape, you’re asking them to give up 1 of their projected 5? Like. Come on.

    Seems unlikely now that Darvish or Arrietta will sign with the Brewers. Their payroll now projected at $80M or higher with Cain signing, so a trade is more likely. Maybe a year away from crossing the $100 MM threshold. Only way to free up big FA money is to trade away Braun — nobody would be sorry to see Santana/Yelich/Cain (and Phillips backup) outfield anyway.

      I looked at his splits, and I think The Brewers would want to keep him. Aguilar crushes lefties (.301/.365/.524) and really is a good platoon guy with the lefty Thames. Plus, Aguilar hit well with runners in scoring position, with a 312 average. That’s a nice player you can platoon with at first, and bring off the bench when you need to drive in a clutch run late in the game.

      I agree. Ed Rodriguez, Steven Wright and Chavis for Santana. Sox sign Yu or Arrieta. Much better rotation and power bat for same or less money than JD.

    Sign Lance Lynn, and trade from your glut of outfielders, and farm system for Duffy.

    What do the Brewers need decent starters for? Just get crummy fly ball pitchers and put your 11 outfielders to work.

    Broxton is a windmill and he’s out of options,he’s not going to bring back much in return.

    Santana isn’t enough to build a deal around for Archer unless Erceg and Burnes and/or Ortiz are in the package.They;’ll have to trade as much or more than they did for Yelich to get Archer.

    Salazar for Santana is pretty even,but I don’t think the Indians want to trade away pitching depth.
    Francisco Mejia could be available for the right package though..

    Brew Crew made some bold deals,but signing Cain has painted them into a bit of a corner ,Stearns has got some more dancing to do that’s for sure.

      starting pitching depth is exactly what Cleveland should trade from. they need a guy like Santana. Brewers should throw in another prospect or even a mlb player like Aguilar or thames or someone low and take on kipnis and his contract.

    Wonder if a pkg with Broxton, Domingo or Thames plus gets TB’s attention for an Archer trade. Not sure the LoCain signing was a great one for a smaller market team unless there is an existing OF another team wants (Domingo)? to attain a SP Brewers want

      I agree. LoCain was also to expensive for his age and skill set. That money would have been better spent on a top quality starter. Cain is good but not 80mil good for a guy known for his speed which usually declines after 30. But for them to grab one other starter, they need to package Keon with someone else, because Keon straight up wouldn’t being back a viable 3rd starter.

    They really need to keep Domingo. Can anyone really guarantee the health of Braun and Thames for a full year? I’d say go with the 5 guys for 4 spots. And have Phillips as a AAA everyday guy knowing he can come up and produce if there’s an injury (there always is). Broxton won’t net them a top of the rotation starter that they desperately need to get to TE playoffs. I feel like they went all in to compete for a wild card. So they need to sign Darvish or Arreta. Even tho the contract will b awful 3-4 years from now.

    Santana for Teheran, Kaz, and some money or Just Teheran and lower level prospect/someone from the pen.. Teheran will get out of Suntrust which he badly needs. Controllable and would do well in Miller.

      I like the framework of Santana and Teheran but no way the Brewers want or will take on Kaz.

    At best brewers would have to give Broxton quality reps on the outfield to build trade value for a mid season trade. As it is now, they aren’t getting any takers unless he’s packaged with someone like Braun. His defense in the outfield isn’t in the best, so who knows how first base will be. But this outfield isn’t going to do them any good if they can’t get pitching

    I think the Brewers strategy is to get all of the outfielders….because hey, the other teams can’t win without outfielders.

    Wonder if the Brewers would be willing to part with
    Burnes, Brett Phillips, Ponce, and Peralta for Brad Hand.
    Phillips would definitely be a huge part of the padres in LF given his defense and the Brewers beef up their pen with an elite pen arm in Hand for 4 years which means they can move Hader to the rotation.

    Which would allow the Padres to trade Jankowski or Cordero to the Giants to solve their CF issues (both are defensively capable), Maybe Cordero to the Giants and Jankowski to the Athletics

    Trade Pirela to Indians since he can play 2B and corner OF.

      holy good god would that be heavily favored to the Padres. three of Brewers top ten prospects for a dang reliever? no way. not like hand is like Rivera or Hoffman in their prime

        3 of their top 10 prospects……with only burnes and phillips being top 100 prospects who are ranked above 70 according to BA. 74 and 80 or so. Not exactly elite by any means.

        If thats too much for 4 years of brad hand whos become an elite pen arm and is locked in at 4, 7, 7.5, 10 mill salaries at age 27 then the brewers will never surpass the cubs the next couple years and might finish 3rd behind the cardinals if they are unable to acquire a TOR arm or 2.

          The Brewers clearly do not think that their SP void can be filled by simply moving Hader to the rotation. The Brewers don’t need Hand so badly that they would trade for him unless they could get him for much less than he’s worth.

          Which is why the brewers wont surpass the cubs if their approach is hope to get him at a price much less than hes worth. Thats how trades dont get done.

          The brewers are 2 maybe 3 arms away from being legit contenders.

          And those are TOR arms.

          You could offer ray ortiz and others to the rays for archer or try odorizzi away for a less but still hefty haul.

          You could try to convince the tigers to part with fulmer for ray ortiz woodruff or whatever itd take.

          Unfortunately theres no TOR that wont completely dismantle that farm cause ray ortiz phillips woodruff burnes would he headliners.

      Take Burnes off that list and then pick two of the remaining three. The Padres ain’t getting more than that for Hand. If they could, he would be gone already.

    D-backs need an outfielder capable of playing CF. How about Patrick Corbin and Taylor Clarke for Phillips? Corbin has one year left on his contract and should garner a QO next winter. Taylor should be ready for debut by season’s end.

    In my opinion the Brewers would be best served to just leave the outfield in tact. Move Braun to first and have a starting outfield of Yelich in left, Cain in center, and Santana in right with Broxton and Phillips as your 4&5 guys. Talented and young players surrounding an experienced center fielder with depth.
    Then just move Perez to second and be done with it.
    With the loaded back end of Cain’s contract it leaves room for the Brewers to just go out and sign a starting pitcher and reliever from the available free agents, and leaving all the talent in the Brewers farm system alone.
    Lynn and a good middle reliever would be fine with me for about twenty million a year. That would take the Brewers to about 110 million for their 2018 payroll which has been the Brewers high water mark so far.
    If they can do these things I would be very happy and content going into the start of the season.

    Here is a good trade for both team!

    Domingo Santana to the Red Sox, Brewers get prospect SP Brian Johnson

    both teams get what they are looking for

    Boston gets a power bat, and Milwaukee get a young good SP.
    and Forget Boras and JD Martinez
