Brewers Send Not-so-Subtle Message After Missing on Tarik Skubal
The Milwaukee Brewers took to social media to send a message after their failed pursuit of pitcher Tarik Skubal.
The Milwaukee Brewers posted a message on social media on Wednesday following their loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The post was not subtle, and it seemed directed at the asking price for their young starting pitcher, Logan Henderson. Henderson has been a standout performer for the Brewers, and his strong showing in the Pirates game reinforced his value. However, the post also hinted at a disagreement with the team's approach to the trade deadline.
The Detroit Tigers were seeking a significant return for starting pitcher Tarik Skubal, and the Brewers believed this price was higher than what the Los Angeles Dodgers offered. While the Dodgers traded three prospects for Skubal, the Brewers reportedly received considerably less value in return. According to Baseball Trade Values, the return from the Dodgers was more akin to what Milwaukee would have provided compared to the Tigers.
The Brewers are understandably disappointed with the trade deadline trade, but they can take some comfort in their current performance. The Brewers have the best record in Major League Baseball, and they boast two untouchable young starting pitchers. Despite the setback, the team remains optimistic about their season.
