Jordan Love contract details, Brewers trade deadline possibilities with Tim Shea

Welcome into the Winklerverse. I am Bart Winkler with a breakdown of the Jordan Love salary and the contract and I'm happy that it happened. Very happy that it happened.

I would like to make a special note of some of these Vikings and Bears fans. I was going to pull up these Twitter accounts. This is what's happening here. He's making a lot of money, but he's not quite making that much money.

The contracts that you hear. I don't understand. I don't understand. We report the number and then the breakdown happens. And then it's like, oh, he's not making that much. OK, but we still say that he is. I don't understand. We report the number and then the breakdown happens. And then it's like, oh, he's not making that much.

OK, but we still say that he is. I don't understand. We'll kind of break it down here in a minute.

On the Dan Cheney YouTube stream, or if you're following along on the audio platform, remember you can find us on YouTube as well at Bart Winkler Show. I believe I still have the old handle there, but either way, Jordan Love is a Green Bay Packer for further time. That's great. Jordan Love was drafted in a situation that I don't think he was eager to be drafted into. He was patient. He learned.

He waited. And now he gets his turn to not only become the guy who right now, when you say who's the most money being given to any quarterback or anyone in this league right now, it is Jordan Love. And he's getting a lot of money and he is the leader of this Packers football team.

And that's great. It's a far cry from what we thought or wanted when he was drafted in 2020. Remember in that COVID year, we saw him in his living room. I don't think he looks super thrilled. We heard that Aaron Rodgers had a nice glass of scotch. Remember that bit?

And Matt Lafleur. Brian Gudekunz were both on TV during that and they were very happy. My God, they were ecstatic. And we were not so much.

We quite didn't understand what they were doing. I was willing to play it out, but I'm on record not liking the pick. I wanted a weapon. I wanted a weapon for Rodgers. I think when you're close to a Super Bowl, you got to strike for a Super Bowl. Somebody asked me on Friday on the Infinity Sports Network show, if I know what I know now, would I go back? Would I trade one Super Bowl for Aaron Rodgers if it meant we don't have Jordan Love? So would I go back now in 2020, get a weapon, have it work, get a Super Bowl, and then the Packers have, I don't know, Derek Carr or Sean Clifford or, God, Drake May?

I have no idea. I don't think that I would, which is contradictory to what I always say is that I want championships and I need them now. I need them. Give them to me. I just want championships no matter what it takes.

And I would have one in the hand versus all these in the bush. But if we're going to go back where I sit now, where Jordan Love, after eight good games, where Jordan Love is the highest paid quarterback and the quarterback of our future, I think I would rather have the more shots at it than one more with Rodgers. And that doesn't take into account that I don't want Rodgers to experience happiness anymore, and my happiness would be diluted because he would be happy. That's my own issue, which I've talked about ad nauseam, okay?

That's my own issue. But what I said at the time when Jordan Love got drafted was for this to be a successful pick, the Packers need to win a Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers and they need to win a Super Bowl with Jordan Love after the draft pick in 2020 because you were punting the chance of a Super Bowl to draft your future. So for that to pay off, you need a Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers so that you didn't cost yourself one by Jordan Love. But I think as we look back now, did the Packers not get a Super Bowl because Jordan Love was the draft pick in that first round?

I don't think so. I mean, yeah, if they draft T. Higgins or whatever, it might help. It might help if Rodgers isn't throwing two-point conversions to Equanimia's Saint Drop, it might help. But also, or if he's not so focused on Devante or didn't do the whole last dance routine with him, which Devante, did I say Dante? Devante superly regrets.

I mean, my God, the amount of I'm not trying to regret something I totally regret just soaks off of that, man. It's unbelievable. So I'm at a point now where, again, David Bakhtiari got hurt, might have cost you two Super Bowls. I don't know. Matt Leflore kicked a field goal.

I don't know. The Packers got held on a play that they didn't call it. They called a bad call on Kevin King. A lot of things happened. Aaron Rodgers threw two gross picks against Detroit.

A lot of things happened that weren't Jordan Love influenced or related. But now the Packers have another quarterback. And as I mentioned Bears and Vikings earlier, these people are nuts. These people are absolutely insane. Bears fans almost celebrating the fact that the Packers got tricked into this contract.

Vikings fans saying, anytime you got to pay a 12th to 15th quarterback, you got to do it. So I don't know what that is. I don't know why.

And there was another girl on Twitter that like got engaged and she goes, I have more rings in the Brewers. Is this just is it because I'm here in Wisconsin, you're here in Wisconsin? Doesn't it feel like everyone else can't keep their mind out of our shit? Everyone else is always in our business. Doesn't it feel like that?

And for why? The Brewers haven't done anything. How do you how do you victory lap of the Brewers?

The Bucks have a title, but none of these teams that are our rivals give a shit. And the Packers, like everything the Packers do, the top story on Chicago radio is one, what did the Packers do? Maybe we'll get to the Bears as a kicker. And then the other one is. In Minnesota, what did the Vikings do?

Maybe we'll get to the Packers as a kicker. Like they just care so much. I don't understand it.

I don't understand it. Yes, we like to have a friendly rivalry, but if the Bears like locked in Caleb Williams, we're not doing victory laps. The Packers have their third good quarterback. And maybe he won't be. Maybe he won't be a Hall of Famer like the other two. But the Packers have their third good quarterback.

And so I don't understand why other fan bases are joyful about that. Into the WinklerVerse brought to you by Happy Place Hemp. Happy Place Hemp.

Get it in there. So the Jordan Love contract, I want to look at via a couple of guys that were talking about it. Peter Bukowski, friend of life, notes that his cap in 2026, the cap hit on Jordan Love will be the 16th highest in the league. Baker Mayfield, one of the guys that has a higher cap hit.

So let's take a look at how this breaks down. And I can do that via a Ken Ingalls tweet. Another friend of show. And you can follow these guys. Both of them are great.

Both of them very in tune. Peter was writing about his stuff on the leap. I'll talk to him on the Infinity Sports Net show coming up here relatively soon. We'll share that with you as well. But the contract for Jordan Love is pretty interesting.

You may have to zoom in if you're on the YouTube page. So in 2024, remember, it's an extension, which always helps alleviate some of the burden. He's getting the big sale. He's getting the big signing bonus and he's getting some guaranteed money in future years.

Something the Packers don't necessarily do. Remember, there's up to $165 million of guaranteed money. Or maybe a little less than that, but a $75 million signing bonus. So he is going to get $75 million by December. But then if you look at the cap charge in 2024, the signing bonus is able to be spread across. He's getting the signing bonus and then a base salary of $3.5 million, plus a previous signing bonus, plus the workout bonus. So the cap on this year is $20 million.

That's it. The next year is $29 million. The next year is $36 million. There would be an out, but the Packers would have a lot of dead cap.

A lot of dead cap. We're talking like $83 million. So if things go really bad, as Ken says, large signing bonus and small year two cash, recent Packers staples. There's a double option bonus year starting in year three, which keeps the cap low to start. But then it grows rapidly.

I think that makes sense. And then if things go south, there's no easy out. It would be painful to trade and exit this. So basically, if the Packers want to get out by 2027, they can. But there's going to be a massive dead cap hit.

And obviously you are taking the risk that no, this is your guy. You put four years into him. You got to see him play 27 games. The last day being very good.

I don't like that narrative. Always only played eight good games. He played eight terrific games. He was the second half MVP last year in those eight games. He has the footwork, the mechanics.

He is a good quarterback. You guys can see it. You know it.

Okay. You can talk yourself into if you're a fan of another team that, oh, this is just a fluke. Nothing about Jordan Love's 2023 end of season was flukey. Nothing about that win against the Cowboys was flukey. You point out his interceptions against the 49ers. Okay. Brock Purdy had those two interceptions too. It's just the Packers didn't catch him. All right.

That was a well contested game. You're still paying this guy money. The cap hit right now in 2028 is 74 million bucks. So that's a lot of money. But by that year, it's the final year of his deal, the Packers will likely renegotiate again.

Or, you know, trade them or whatever. We all joke he'll be a jet in 2034. But the fact of the matter is the amount of money he got paid, the four years, $220 million, he is getting a lot of money over the course of this run. A lot of that is via a signing bonus.

Right. He is getting the base salary each and every year. The cap hit is what's important for team building. It's only $20 million this year. It's $29 million in year two, which is 25.

It's 36 and then 42. And then by 2028, they will adjust that because they will likely then if he's at 30 years old and he's Jordan Love as good as we think he is, he'll be playing on a new contract. He's 8% of the cap this year.

To put it in those terms, 10% next year, 12% after 13% after that. So this is not as franchise damaging of a contract as it always gets reported to be as the overall point. So good work by the Packers. Good work by Jordan Love.

Good work for all around. And we got our guy. It was a bummer not to see him practice, but it totally makes sense. He was out there in the rain though. I thought that was a great indication of who this guy is. He's out there practicing or at least standing. It was pouring on Tuesday and he's still out there in the rain.

Did not need to be there in any way, shape, or form. Regarding the Packers as they're set up, again, if you look at the SPO track breakdown of the overall team, you've got Jordan Love making a good chunk here. You've got the receivers. Look at the receivers when it comes to this.

Look at the receivers. All these guys are making... Watson's making 2-5. Reid's making 1-6. Dobbs making 1-1.

Turi's making 1. A lot of these guys will be free agents in 26. Reid in 27.

Wicks in 27. So eventually you have to pay these guys, but you have a quarterback that's not taking as much up as the cap as initially thought, and you've got all of his skill players. Josh Jacobs making 5.

Not making that much money. Elton Jenkins with a big deal. Kenny Clark with that big promotion. Kenny Clark this year has taken up more of the cap than Jordan Love has. And the wide receivers total, if they keep all 12 guys they have on the roster right now, which is impossible, they will not do, the Packers would have 5% of the salary cap eaten up by that. These guys aren't making any money. What it'll end up being is about 3% of the cap for all of the receivers, and how good do we think this crop of receivers is going to be.

So, good deal. I encourage again, Ken Ingalls on Twitter, I was looking at him for a reference point, Peter Bukowski on Twitter as well, and then their LEAP newsletter looking at him for a reference point. But these guys are really good at helping break that down. So the Green Bay Packers have a really good deal with Jordan Love. Bears fans and Vikings fans that are trying to get their rent due because in blue checkmark land you just put something out there.

I saw a couple that was mad they walked out of Deadpool and Wolverine after three minutes, something about, I don't know, did they get mad he said Marvel Jesus? I mean the shot culture for an outrage culture with these blue checkmarks is at an all-time high, and I got to remember not to get sucked into them. So I'm going to stop interacting with them for the 15 cents that my tweet may help them with. Look, I get it. I'm on Facebook. I'm trying to engagement farm too, but I'm just shitposting Craig Council. Okay, I'm not faking outrage.

I'm not being a Bears fan. Oh, my tweet got picked up by Packers Twitter. Yeah, of course it did. You wanted it to, you stupid idiot.

You probably sent it to all your friends, you big dork. So Jordan Love, signs a great deal. This is good. I'm happy.

You should be happy. Get us a Super Bowl. Even if it doesn't, we still got three great quarterbacks. Everyone else is in their feelings, but we need to get a Super Bowl. Are we all in this year? Are we Super Bowl or bust?

I don't know. Let's get further than we did a year ago. Let's get to that NFC Championship game. We were built to lose NFC Championship games for a decade. Let's get there and win one this time.

Jordan Love, congratulations on the signing. Packers, go Pack Go. Let's catch you up all things Brewers now into the Winklerverse. I'm joined by Tim Shea. You were at Sunday's game, was that it? Friday and Sunday. Oh, my brother was at both too.

Saw your brother. On Sunday? Yes, I did. Did you get, he did the theme night with those yacht hats, the boat hats? Oh, that was Friday night, yes. Yeah. I saw thousands of them.

I feel like everybody did that theme night. So he left the stadium, he went with my parents. He left the stadium. My mom gave him the hat to give to me. So you would say, well, why am I not wearing the hat?

Yeah, where is the hat? So some kids offered him 30 bucks for it. And he said no.

And then an older guy, from what he says, was waiting at the shuttle entrance, desperate for a hat. He gave him 100 bucks. Shut up. Yeah.

They're going for like 45 on eBay, about 100? 100, 100. I mean, he couldn't pass that up, right? I don't know that he knew that he didn't get one because, you know, these theme night celebrations. Sometimes you know, sometimes you don't. Yeah.

Pretty dumb. Were you there for much of the Ryan Braun stuff Sunday, or did you just get there after? I was there, but we were walking around. You know, you've been through one of those ceremonies, you've been through them all. They all say the same thing. And plus, I'm not a Ryan Braun fan, so I could care less. I don't get that about you. I just, sorry. He was, yeah, I'll just leave it at that.

I'm not going to get that. What I'm imagining is there was like one awkward interaction you had with him. Oh, no, no, no. He was, he was, he didn't like be pre, pre steroids, pre, you know, being juiced up or, you know, before he got caught, I should say. He wasn't a nice person, so. Well, people grow, people learn.

Well. I think they should retire his number. I don't want to go down this road again. Stop, don't, no, no, we're not.

Who's had a bigger, I mean, some of the guys up there, Braun's has just as much impact as them. We've got to be in the Hall of Fame. That's, that's the rule.

Okay. That's a dumb rule. Whose rule is that? It's, it was Bud Selig's rule, which, Mark Antanasio, and pretty much a lot. There are some exceptions that some teams do.

Not many, not many at all. It's pretty much a major, it's an unwritten major league baseball rule. Because Selig came up with a rule that if you win the All-Star game, your league gets home field advantage. Why are we trusting this guy on rules? I like that. I like, I actually like that rule. I actually like that, you know, kind of twist to the All-Star game.

You're an idiot. Because his All-Star game got fucked up here in Milwaukee. It did. That's why. Yeah. It did get, it did get fucked up, Tim.

And why, why we're not getting another one anytime soon is beyond me. So are the Cubs buying at the deadline here? What's going on? I, uh, yeah.

I did, I mean, it raised an eye. Brewers come into Monday series against the Braves, 15 games over 500, uh, six games up of the Cardinals. Pirates are winning right now. You know, you know, you know what's going to happen, Bart.

What? I mean, I, I haven't seen a lot of this yet, but I mean, if the Cubs are, are buying, whatever they're going to be that last wildcard seed on the Brewers. They got a long way to go. I think they're only like three or four games out of that.

Right? Uh, yeah, five. It's within reaching. It's, it's reaching distance, so.

Right now the Brewers are three, uh, or one and a half back of the Dodgers for a buy. Yeah. That's. Um, the wildcards would be the Braves Padres and Mets as David Stearns continues to accumulate failed Brewers recently with Jesse Winker over the weekend to add to his Tyrone Taylor, Adrian Howser, or they, they DFA'd him. I think. Yeah.

Get him back. I just, I I'm, you know, who knows, but it could be if the Cubs get in there. And the Brewers don't make some, uh, headway here, you know, getting that two seed. If we think they're going to be the three seed, they won't get the buy and it would just be, it would just set up perfect. You know, it would just be, of course, well, we got to play the Cubs in the first round of the wildcard. Man. You're worried about that. That ain't going to happen.

All right. Should I worry more about St. Louis then? Um, uh, I don't know. So the wildcard teams will probably be, if, if the division winners stand, it'll be the Braves.

We'll be able to get in despite their injuries, Padres, Mets, and then any of those other teams like diamond, but then again, that's what the Diamondbacks did last year. I don't know. I'm not worried about anybody until September. Yeah. And, uh, I think that's when, you know, or pay attention time.

I'm just paying attention to what we're doing. Yeah. Which was the ballpark pretty abuzz for the Nick Mears trade. Oh my gosh.

People were just, they couldn't believe it. Nick Mears, by the way, the Rockies reliever, the Brewers traded for has a five, five, six ERA, but so you think, oh, he pitches in Colorado. No. Nick Mears is ERA in Colorado is three one six on the road.

It's eight, six, nine. Makes sense. Um, but as the athletic rights here, he seems like a perfect addition to a Brewers organization that knows what it likes and it's pitchers and has a history of improving their results. Brewers traded two guys in this deal. One guy that I've heard of one guy that I haven't, uh, Bradley Blaylock didn't, they just draft him. Oh, they got him for Luis Urreas. Yeah.

And then, um, you Han hair Herrera, who they signed, I don't know, he was pitching in Appleton. How was the, uh, press box? I'm going to try to weasel my way back in there. I think it was, it was kind of empty. It was a light, light press box on Friday, although I did apply to go to the Packers shareholders meeting as media and they turned me down. How come she said, I don't recall you ever covering a business meeting. I said, well, I said, okay, yeah, well I have this show.

I'm out of Milwaukee. It's on 150 stations, blah, blah, blah. It's a national show.

I wanted to give the perspective of being a shareholder and cover the event. Oh, great. Sounds like that'd be better for you to do in the stands.

Yeah. What if, what if, what if, I mean, what if Jim Rome's like, Hey, I want to go to Cheryl is me. They're going to sit in the stands. He's in. He's in.

No one respects me. I got to do. I, I go, I go people, I go people. Yeah. I got to, what do you, are you back on the radio? Yeah. It's a national show.

And they go, yeah, at nine o'clock, I was like, I can never, I can never reach this, this level of respect that is only deserved for the Mike Heller's and the Doug Russell's of the world. Oh boy. What must I do for central Wisconsin to cherish me as one of their own, uh, what else do you want the brewers to trade for? I don't think they're going to make a, a big trade deadline show, Nick Mears.

That's it. I don't. I honestly, I mean, I couldn't think they're trading Garrett Mitchell. I think they're keeping everybody they're going to go, they're going to be silenced during the pitcher. I, I, I, who, who, they don't want to trade anybody.

That's the problem. They don't want to trade Willy Adonis. You know, I want to trade for is Jack Flaherty, Jack Flaherty. Well, he is on a, the last year of his deal, he's making 14 million. He's 28. Just not a brewer's move to pick up someone for three months.

Sure it is. If his name is Jonathan scope, the way you feel about Ryan Braun, I feel a million times about Jonathan scope. Everything about that.

It's so stupid. Yeah. Retire his number. Let's get him on the walk of cement or something.

God, remember our infield was bigger than the Packers offensive line. Yes. Let's give him a cement slab somewhere. Yeah. They put Ryan Braun over by the front office, like entrance, his thing. I believe. Yeah. Is he the only one over there? I think so. That's cause Mark wanted to be closer to him at all times.

He wanted to look down every time we make you up. He's still there. Ryan Braun finance. The biggest thing he'll get there will probably be a statue. Ron and getting a statue. Yeah. Do you think, do you think a statue is more prestigious and getting your number retired or do you think getting your number retired is more prestigious than getting a statue number?

Yeah. Ron's getting a statue. They'll give him a statue.

They will not retire. Who has a statue? Bud Seelig, Robin Yount, the crane guys, Molitor, maybe I, you know, I'd have to look at that the next time I'm there. I'll never forget they, the, the Bud Seelig ceremony. Were you there at all? Did you cover that?

Were you here yet? I, it was a big thing. Like I did not go to that game. It was a little too much.

Someone from major league. So the ceremony was actually like in the morning, they put his office where my favorite bar used to be. Okay. I'm, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about his statue. And when they did, yes, I do in an air conditioning, they like, they changed that thing for like five years, every year, and they could not come up with something in that space.

They find a little lounge with video games. I know I liked it. So they did, we did like a serum, like this big, someone from major league baseball came in and ran this thing and it was a show and I'll never forget a few hours before that morning, a bird came up, landed on it, took off and pooped on it.

They're like, we need someone to clean that now. Gotta be a sign, huh? I think Bron, Bron won't get a statue, but he will not get his number retired. I don't think so. I think, I don't, I don't think he'll get his number retired cause Packers or the Packers are dumb about it too.

Meanwhile, the Bucks, geez, if you played for two years in the seventies, you got your number retired. Well, I mean, did you watch Giannis play? I did a little bit. Boy. His team sucks. Yeah.

Thank God for him or do you see that Tatum didn't play at DNP? I think LeBron's the greatest player of all time. I think he's better than Jordan. Whoa.

Yeah. The way the stuff he's doing in these Olympics and Kevin Durant, Kevin Durant's history is all messed up. He's the best USA basketball player of all time. LeBron's four years old and he is the dominant force in basketball.

And then he goes on the Lakers, what a shit show. I know those are a lot of hot takes at once. Yeah.

They're just, I mean, I, I didn't go back to the greatest player of all time. Oh, I've always thought that. I just say Jordan to avoid confrontation. I guess.

No. It's Jordan. It's Jordan.

I don't know. It's Jordan. You got Peacock? Do you have Peacock?

And then when Jordan retired, he would have won those years too. Yes. Yeah. You got to watch gold zone. Gold zone? Yeah. They do red zone Olympics.

Oh, like if you're getting, if they're getting ready for a, like a medal or something. Four gold events at once, Judo, rowing. Yeah, I will, I will have to take a look at the gold zone. Yeah. Gold zone. Who was that? Who's the offensive court?

Is it? What's his name? Hackett. Hackett. Thank you. Make the gold zone.

He's got a pat in this shit. Yeah. Did you watch Deadpool and Wolverine yet? I did not. Are you gonna?

No. It's good. Quick review, quick spoiler free review. It's very good. Does great service to both characters. I would like to see more connection with the actual universe. The multiverse thing is a fucking disaster. But I feel like they make these movies and they're just like, I just, I just feel like Kevin Feige is always like, yeah, that's fine. I need more.

And now Robert Downey Jr's back as Dr. Doom. Did you see that? I did not.

I like it, but it's fucked up. I assume you saw it right away. Yeah. On my way to Pado. Of course. What movie theaters on the way there? Which way did you take?

Oh no, I saw Deadpool on Thursday. Okay. At three o'clock.

Okay. What was the tour showing? Crowded sold out.

Pretty crowded. It was all the nerds. Yeah. And I was like the one guy that wasn't wearing a Marvel shirt or a full Deadpool outfit.

You should have. The media tour those guys are on is a little exhausting, but you got to do it. Um, all right. So we were talking Brewers maybe.

Yeah. I just, I don't think they're going to make a big splash. I don't think they're going to go after a pitcher.

I just, I think they, I mean, no, no matter who they trade, someone's going to be upset. What about Yelich? Is he done for the year?

Uh, I think he'll try and come back in like a month and then they'll shut him down. Like he'll play like three or four games and then we'll all bitch about, well, why are, why did he play? But, you know, my wife said to me, she goes, she goes, aren't the Brewers good this year?

And I go, yeah, really good. And she's like, well, why aren't you as into it as you normally have been? Because we all know what's going to happen. We've all been through this before. Well, one for her perspective, the Brewers used to be on TV in this house every night. And you're not home watch it for the show the next day.

But now working at night, I'm not home on the weekends. We're doing something. So I, she doesn't, she has not accidentally seen Brewer coverage as much as in the past. So, but then to your point, like somebody asked me the other day, do we have world series expectations? How can we, this team is like a car that is on empty.

And the gas told you 50 miles ago that you need gas, but somehow it's still running as smooth as it's ever been. But you know, at some point shit's going to break down. I won't be surprised if we win the first round and it's going to be a party like no other.

I can already tell you that. But then you'll go play Philadelphia or sorry, yeah, Philadelphia or LA and we all know what's going to happen. Or we'll bring the pirates to town and they'll beat us.

Now you get that two seed and things change a little bit. I don't know bi-week tends to fuck these teams over. What else is going on, Tim? Sorry. I didn't see you the other day. Oh, it's fine.

It's fine. Uh, nothing. A badger football season coming up soon. Big, big one, a week three for them, they get a couple of tuneups before the big one this year. So I think, I think their camp starts later this week.

What do you think? They just sell beer now. I know. Very excited about that. Very pumped for that. So no expectations this year, you know, last year everyone thought, Oh, the running gun, the spread offense, it's going to be great. They went by seven and five or something.

Six and six. It's really going to hurt the flask business in the Madison area. Oh, people will still bring in their hard liquor.

Don't worry about that. You look down the row at some of these games at one time, dude, I go to Coke. I remember leaving the stadium once and looked down a row.

There was a full on bottle of Tito's or eight there, a full bottle. How'd they get that in? No metal detectors part. There aren't until last year. There were no metal detectors. And you could still sneak in with the little ones because they're not the metal detectors weren't powerful to, uh, to set it off. So, but until last year, there were no metal detectors at that place.

I swear. Sometimes I walk into some of these stadiums and I like, look at the pad, the guy's looking at it. It's like not even turned on. It's like, what the fuck is this area? Are we doing something?

Is this theater? We doing, I re I always tested at, at the, at Miller park. I've gone in with, uh, I've gone in with my phone in my pocket and it never went off shit. So I don't know if they're just not high enough or did the escalator get fixed?

I wrote one yesterday, a little about it, but we got up, I'm happy about that. I was at a game and they had like half of them closed. So yeah, they got, they got to, they got to make sure, man. So the, the, they do have a little tough stretch coming up the brewers, which will be an interesting, we got the Braves, we got the nationals. I think it's right after the Cincinnati series and then the Braves again.

Yeah. And then the reds Dodgers come to town. You want to go see Shohei? That's isn't it Dodgers Cleveland in St. Louis, yup. Old friend, Steven vote manager of the Cleveland guardians coming. Can we go to Oakland? We go to Oakland. Yeah. We still have two rest West coast road trips, the patent at a Chicago or wait, where do we go? We go St. Louis Oakland or something weird, right? I want to take my kid out of school one of these days, but he's only got like a month of daycare left. Then he's going to be a real, he's going to go to kindergarten, kindergarten, all day kindergarten or half day till like two or three. Okay.

And we're not doing care because I'm here. I'll try to regret that. Save the money. What else can I take him to a Sesame street days coming up? I saw a promo for that. You're going to take them to that game. No, they have a double bobblehead. I don't like those.

You don't know Jackson, Cheerio bobblehead. They announced that. Oh yeah. On a Sunday. Why don't you give that, why don't you just give that to the football? Got to watch football. Oh, did the Packers play that day?

I will be at the Packers home opener. Uh, no, the Packers play in Brazil. Oh, okay. But I mean, I'm not, I'm not, yeah, there's football. Yeah. That's week one.

All right. Well, I think we covered the Brewers enough. We talked about Nick Mears. We talked about Yelich.

I mentioned a trade target that I would like to acquire. We looked at their schedule. We looked at the standings. We should talk the Cubs and we talked about the, uh, escalator. I think we got it all. Yeah, it'll be, uh, it'll be an interesting here.

Last what's last 58 games. I mean, we all, we all know this story. We have the chapter, the chapter has been written. It's just, let's play it out and let's see if they can, you know, maybe catch some magic. I love the people that always say, well, it's, it's baseball. Anything can happen. Anything can happen.

Yeah. But not when, not when you're the Brewers and you play the Dodgers or the Philadelphia Phillies. I mean, they're going to make the world series and lose to Baltimore and the records this year, prove it against the Dodgers and Philly. And I can, and I don't want to hear, Oh, well, you know, we only lost to Philly by three, three runs that total series. I don't care. You got swept. Well, we got seven games against them left and they're all at home.

Yep. Make me eat my words. Make me eat the crow. It won't happen.

Trust me. Seven games against those teams. Brewers win two, two and five bookmark that. Why are you so down on them? I'm not down on them. I they're a good team.

It's just, there are two teams that are much better than them. Yeah. But yeah, but we got a stud pitching staff and Freddie Peralta is an ace. God.

You okay? An ace. Whatever. Don't get me started with Freddie. Maybe some guys just aren't cut out to be the one member of the year that Randall Cobb was supposed to be our number one.

And then he sucked. Anyway. Yeah.

I don't think I have anything else. Oh, I'm, I'm looking forward to seeing Aaron Rogers play this year. Maybe he can get through a game. He went to Egypt.

Wrote a camel. I did not know that. He said that. Did you see him get in a little tussle? Little not like, like it was a, it looked like a, a little heated argument with one of his wide receivers, then they shook hands at the end. Talk about performative. All right.

Well, Tim Shea, always a pleasure. Take it easy. We got football.

August 1st. Hall of Fame game. I'll be breaking it down live on the Bart Winkler show. Call in again. Take it easy. I well, one of these days I'll have to have a couple of drinks in me though. Take it easy. Thanks everyone. Especially Tim Shea, go brewers and Packers.
