Managers on the Move

[Vanimal46]

Busy day today if you're a team looking to hire a manager... 

Craig Counsell will be joining the Cubs as their next manager.

Stephen Vogt will be leading the Guardians next season. 

And the Mets hired Carlos Mendoza, who was the Yankees bench coach the last 4 seasons.

How does this affect offseason plans for Milwaukee, if at all? The Twins might match up with the Brew Crew in a trade.

I imagine it's all systems go to do a re-tool on the fly. Just going off of the top prospects on Brewer Fanatic I don't know what they want in a trade... 3 out of their top 7 prospects are SP in the upper minors. Would they be interested in someone from our lower levels like CJ Culpepper or Cory Lewis?

Probably hard to sell an all out rebuild, particularly if they feel stung that their manager just went down the road to the rival club chasing them in the standings.

Outside of catcher and left field, their MLB offense is a bit of a train wreck though. Seems like we've seen similar scenarios where the team is willing to part with one of their top end starters to get back MLB ready offensive help. It would surely be painful from a Twins perspective, but I'm game.

Always liked Washington as a coach  Also wondered why the Twins didn't hired Hunter as a coach. Washington hired all his buddies.
