Hey everybody. Welcome to the Roto Wire Fantasy Baseball podcast. Jeff Erickson here with Fred Zinky.

Excited to be back, Fred. We took a week off for the All-Star break. And now we're talking about the trade deadline.

Very excited about that. excited to talk a lot of news uh we got a pretty

big slate of games last night sometimes mondays are a little quiet but it wasn't so quiet yesterday

and i think we got to start off the the headline in the Milwaukee brewers can they maybe

stopped are should we break up the brewers what's you know is it unfair for baseball to have such a small market team dominating everybody?

This is what we always say about baseball.

Spend less, win more.

This has been the baseball's problem for so many years.

All these small market teams dominating.

It's just no fun for the big markets.

Uh, no, actually, it's amazing the, uh, it's amazing the run they're on um they're just they i don't know

Milwaukee just seems to do things like this every year they're the they're the Tampa of the

the Tampa bay of the NL except i think they're doing it even better than Tampa in recent years

and you and you look at like i like before we on, I was talking about their pitching and how incredible

their pitching has been, you know, bringing up Jacob Mizoroski and having him be amazing right

away.

Brandon Woodruff comes back from a long absence in his good right away.

Quinn Priester turns into something.

Like, they're just so good. But on top of that, you know, you look at this lineup and like Isaac Collins, for example, a rule five pick a few years ago. Like, he's been terrific since he's been a full-time outfielder for them. Some guys like Caleb Durbin, who they were patient with, have come around. Joey Ortiz's been coming around a little bit.

They pull Andrew Vaughn off the scrap heap.

He's done a few things for them.
