The Milwaukee Brewers made a giant commerce for right-handed pitcher Dustin Might on the 2026 MLB commerce deadline. Whereas the transfer didn’t pan out precisely as deliberate with Might struggling for many of his Brewers tenure, together with within the playoffs, that has not deterred groups across the league from being extraordinarily within the 29-year-old.
Jim Bowden of The Athletic shared on social media that many groups are reportedly in on Might, writing: “The marketplace for Dustin Might is blowing up proper now with the Cubs, Nationals, Orioles, Giants, Reds, Guardians, Marlins, White Sox and Blue Jays all in play proper now!!!”
Notably absent from that checklist is the Milwaukee Brewers. Although they gave up a few promising prospects to get Might and left-handed reliever JoJo Romero from the St. Louis Cardinals, they appear completely content material to let him stroll in free company which truthfully is probably not a nasty thought particularly if a bidding struggle breaks out over Might.
Milwaukee in all probability already has 4 rotation arms it will probably really feel first rate about going into subsequent season with Jacob Misiorowski, Logan Henderson, Robert Gasser, and Kyle Harrison all being logical choices. The Brewers might solely select so as to add one rotation arm to spherical issues out and if they don’t seem to be fully offered on Might then there isn’t a cause to get into the combination.
Are Brewers undervaluing Dustin Might?
Nevertheless, there’s a likelihood that Milwaukee is undervaluing what Might may doubtlessly deliver to the desk. Eno Sarris of The Athletic not too long ago wrote an article about 4 beginning pitchers who might be very high-value signings in free company. Might is without doubt one of the 4 and he compares how a few of Might’s underlying numbers and superior metrics will not be too dissimilar from Trevor Rogers who many count on will get a large contract in free company.
So possibly the Brewers aren’t primarily based on his ERA from 2026, however his FIP was 3.63 which suggests he might have simply gotten somewhat bit unfortunate all year long. All of the groups eager about him appear to be betting that issues will even out a bit in 2027.
It is going to be fascinating to see what sort of contract he’ll get. Most predictions have him getting a one-year $15 million deal or doubtlessly a two-year, $30 million deal so count on one thing within the $15 million per 12 months vary except one staff actually likes him and presents him one thing extra which isn’t out of the realm of chance primarily based on all of the curiosity he’s drawing.
The Brewers could also be good to sit down this one out, but when one other staff lands him and his ERA displays a few of his underlying numbers then they could remorse not making a push to get him.
