The Milwaukee Brewers have agreed to sign Gary Sanchez, meaning one more free agent will be off the market. The Brewers have reportedly signed Sanchez to a one-year, $7 million deal.
However, to the surprise of many, several top players, including Blake Snell and Cody Bellinger, are still on the free-agent list. Sanchez's signing by the Brewers has stirred a discussion among MLB fans on social media.
Fans believe Snell could be a Brewer, especially since Sanchez and he share a history. Sanchez was the personal catcher for Snell in 2023 in his stint with the San Diego Padres.
"Blake Snell seemed to really like pitching to him," wrote one fan on X.
As for Sanchez's signing, some fans were happy about it, while some believed that he should have been a New York Yankee. However, most fans agreed that he was an interesting addition to the team:
Will Brewers strike a deal with Snell next?
The Brewers let go of their ace Corbin Burnes to the Baltimore Orioles, after which they signed Jakob Junis. Several fans were unhappy about the signing as Junis was not a direct replacement for Burnes. With Burnes gone, they still have a reason to upgrade their starting rotation.
Blake Snell would likely be a great fit for the Brewers, especially since his personal catcher has found a way into the team. Signing the talented pitcher might make sense for some fans, but the most crucial part will be considering the financial aspect.
The free agent is reportedly seeking a nine-year, $270 million contract. This includes an average annual of $30 million. The Brewers need a top pitcher, but the money involved will determine the fate of any deal.
In the meantime, Scott Boras seems to be waiting for the right offer for his client. Boras is known for his stubborn negotiation. Snell is coming off an excellent 2023 season for the Padres, but he might be required to lower his price to find a team soon.
