“Still, it would be nice for the Brewers, whose front office has put together a tremendous big league roster with a top-five farm system to boot, to have at least a little money to spend and add talent beyond Akil Baddoo (free agent) and Angel Zerpa (trade), their lone acquisitions this winter. The Brewers instead are spending the winter talking about trading their best pitcher (Peralta). And while the churning of free-agents-to-be has been part of what has sustained Milwaukee’s success in recent years, it’s a thankless cycle for fans and front office alike.”
