CHRISTIAN YELICH IS A BREWER & I LOST MY PANTS
Holy shit, guys. Christian Yelich is coming to Milwaukee. It’s time to get excited about the Brewers season. Mitch and I talked about a potential deal in the works earlier this week, and I actually heard from a source that this was going down all day (Fun little Daily Tap story for tomorrow). What a wonderful day it is to be a Brewers fan. Yelich will come to Milwaukee with four years left on his contract at age 26. I know Milwaukee gave up a hell of a lot, but you have to tell yourself that this deal does not come around very often if at all. This is a once-in-a-lifetime move made by David Stearns.
Am I said to see Lewis Brinson, Isan Diaz and Monte Harrison go? Yes, of course, but this is a deal you have to make to take your team to the next level. Yelich gives Milwaukee a bonafide two hitter and potentially a player that could lead off for the team. He’s going to be beloved in Milwaukee. I know there’s a great deal of pressure on him, but all he does is fucking rake. If you’re not familiar with Yelich, now is the time to do a little research and take a look at what he provides to the team. We will have much more tomorrow about this whole thing.
Something tells me Milwaukee isn’t done just yet.
Charlie.
