3The Brewers are losing way too many years of control for a rental and 1.4 years of a too expensive Soto. With Milwaukee set to lose so much pitching this year and next, I can't see them trading Misiorowski. Soto would cost the Brewers about $35M for just 1.4 years. Way too expensive for a small market team looking to extend Woodruff and/or Adames plus with many other arby guys getting raises.
The problem with your scenario is money. Soto and Hader will cost around an extra $55M over this year and next (Soto: 23 X 35% of games left = 8 plus about $26M next year -- Hader: 14 X .35% = 5 plus about $16M next year). That would be about an additional $42M added on to the existing payroll. Spotrac puts the Brewers payroll at about $128M for this year. Now add another $42M for Hader and Soto and that's $170M. PLUS all the arby raises coming due.

Traditionally that may be true, but the Brewers are stuck in a cycle of close but no cigar. You have to challenge norms to end up on top. If they could get Soto and Hader to go for it this year and next while also hanging onto Chourio, Black, Frelick, Quero, it's hard to argue against.
