 The Milwaukee Brewers did it again — and the reaction was immediate. In this hour of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, the crew reacts to the Brewers trading Freddie Peralta to the New York Mets, along with Tobias Myers, and dives into the now-familiar frustration surrounding how Milwaukee operates as a franchise. 012226 JGC Hour 2 Peralta, a proven top-of-the-rotation arm making just $8 million in his final year, had interest from multiple teams. The Brewers chose to “strike while the iron was hot,” sending him away before free agency — and once again asking fans to buy into the long-term plan. ⚾ Why this trade hits differently Freddie Peralta wasn’t just another pitcher. He was: A stabilizing force at the top of the rotation A fan favorite and emotional leader A pitcher you could trust every fifth day over 162 games Jen and Gabe explain why losing Peralta immediately creates more questions than answers: Can Brandon Woodruff stay healthy all season? Is Mizorowski ready to be a true ace — or just “the next guy”? Who fills out the back of the rotation now? What once looked like a strength suddenly feels fragile. 💰 “You already had the ace” One of the central arguments of the hour: If the Brewers’ farm system was already ranked Top 6 in baseball, why rush to trade Peralta now? Gabe argues the Brewers could have: Kept Peralta for the season Let him walk like Willy Adames Collected a high compensatory pick Still maintained a deep farm system Instead, they chose to convert a known commodity into more prospects — players who, as Drew Olson famously said, “haven’t done anything yet.” 🌱 Prospects as currency — but for what? The Brewers receive two Top-100 prospects and a pitcher projected as a mid-rotation arm. On paper, it’s not a disaster. But the crew asks the uncomfortable question: When do these prospects actually turn into championships? The farm system is loaded. The young major leaguers are already here. And yet payroll continues to go down, not up. Chewy puts it bluntly: “At some point, you have to stop being Major League Baseball’s foster home.” 🏟️ Fans show up — ownership doesn’t One of the most heated segments focuses on Mark Attanasio and Brewers ownership. Callers remind everyone: Fans helped fund a stadium to keep the team in Milwaukee Attendance has rebounded strongly post-pandemic Franchise value has exploded into the billions And yet, ownership continues to sell the idea that: “They can’t afford to spend more.” Chewy refuses to do the “bidding of a billionaire,” pointing out that teams like San Diego somehow spend aggressively despite being labeled “small market.” 📞 Passionate fan reaction The Carbless Talk & Text Line lights up with frustration: Comparisons to the Corbin Burnes and Josh Hader trades Anger about throwing in Tobias Myers “for free” Fear that Mizorowski will simply become the next pitcher traded away A sense that the Brewers are always competitive — but never all-in One caller sums it up perfectly: “We’re not asking for reckless spending. We’re asking for seriousness.” ⚖️ Trust the front office… but still be mad The hour ends with a conflicted but honest conclusion: The Brewers’ front office is good at what it does Pat Murphy and Matt Arnold are respected The team will likely be competitive again But fans are allowed to be frustrated. Because while the Packers are judged on championships, the Brewers are graded on division titles and vibes — and that standard gap is wearing thin. If the Brewers truly believe in their system, the question remains: Why not push just a little harder when you already have the pieces? 🎧 A passionate, honest, and very Wisconsin debate about baseball economics, loyalty, and whether “next year” has finally lost its appeal — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.
