Dylan Ross will try to make the major league bullpen in 2026

Dylan Ross had such a good year in the minors in 2025 that he put himself on the prospect map here at Amazin’ Avenue, ranking 18th on our list of the team’s top 25 prospects. And that was before the Mets’ trade that sent Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat to the Brewers, which effectively bumped […]

Cubs news: Cubs sign reliever Shelby Miller

The Cubs have reportedly agreed to a two-year deal with veteran right-handed reliever Shelby Miller. Fansided’s Robert Murray was reportedly first with the news. Miller, 35, pitched quite effectively last year with the Diamondbacks, posting a 1.98 ERA and ten saves in 37 games before he was traded to the Brewers at the trade deadline, […]

Brewers sign veteran Luis Rengifo to shore up infield depth

The Milwaukee Brewers traded away their entire third base depth chart on Monday. It seemed they were going to be in need of bringing in additional infield depth right as spring training was getting started. They were left with just David Hamilton as the only infielder as an option at third base on the 40-man […]

3 dark horse Brewer roster candidates to watch in spring training

Every year it seems like there is at least one player who enters spring training nowhere near the roster picture that just goes on an incredible run to earn a spot on the team or at least come very close. The Brewers have seen this happen time and time again. From Vinny Capra to Eric […]

Brew Crew Ball Daily Question: Are any Brewers “untouchable” in trade talks?

We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: Are any Brewers “untouchable” in trade talks? The Brewers have become a franchise known for trading away players before their team-friendly contracts come to an end. In recent years, that list has grown to include Corbin Burnes, Josh Hader, Devin Williams, Freddy Peralta, and more. […]

Brewers, William Contreras avoid arbitration hearing

People who closely follow the Brewers have been wondering: when is William Contreras’ arbitration hearing? In January, the two sides were separated by $1.35 million and did not come to an agreement. We’ve been waiting for news since then, especially in the last two weeks, as the remaining arbitration cases have been heard. Well, Contreras […]

How long do the Red Sox plan to keep Trevor Story at shortstop?

Down a rabbit hole of things that didn’t happen, the Red Sox apparently made several attempts to acquire Zach Neto from the Angels before pivoting and trading with the Brewers for Caleb Durbin. This was confirmed by Sean McAdam earlier this week, and from there, Tyler Milliken was asking the right question. Neto is one […]

Brew Crew Ball Daily Question: What is the Brewers’ biggest weakness?

We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: What is the Brewers’ biggest weakness? While the Brewers led the majors in wins last season, finishing with a franchise-best 97-65 record, the team completely fell apart in the NLCS against the Dodgers, losing the series 4-0 as they were outscored 15-4, scoring exactly one […]

Brewers bring back familiar face to back up William Contreras

The Milwaukee Brewers entered the offseason with a potential need at backup catcher. Danny Jansen was hitting free agency and was unlikely to return, ultimately signing with the Texas Rangers. That left just William Contreras and prospect Jeferson Quero as the only catchers on the 40-man roster. While Quero is still viewed by many as […]

Brewers announce 2026 promotional schedule

The Milwaukee Brewers revealed the full promotional giveaway schedule for the 2026 season on Wednesday, including 23 gate giveaways. The promotional schedule includes the return of the Wisconsin Artist Series, as well as a new Kids Giveaway series. As a reminder, theme nights & community nights were announced last week, and individual tickets go on […]

Could Brandon Sproat be the next “pitching lab” success story?

Milwaukee’s pitching development staff has a reputation around the league as a “pitching lab.” As an organization, the Brewers have done a great job of developing pitchers with talent who were either unheralded or underperformed previously. In 2024, Tobias Myers turned into arguably the Brewers’ best starting pitcher. In 2025, Quinn Priester didn’t lose a […]

Rank the Cubs’ NL Central opponents

I’ll have a more detailed look into the other four teams in the NL Central coming up soon. But today, I simply want you to give your gut feelings about the Brewers, Reds, Pirates and Cardinals. How will the division wind up this year? We can get an idea of how these teams line up […]

Brewers’ pitchers and catchers report today

It has been a long winter — and who are we kidding, most of us are in Wisconsin, where it may yet feel like winter for another two months — but we’ve finally made it to the first real day on the 2026 baseball calendar. Brewers’ pitchers and catchers report to spring training today, and […]

According to reports, Colorado Rockies to sign Jose Quintana

Late this evening, ESPN’s Jess Rogers broke the news that the Colorado Rockies signed Jose Quintana: The 37-year-old lefty spent 2025 with the Milwaukee Brewers on a one-year, $4.25 million contract. In 131 2/3 innings, Quintana logged 24 starts and finished with a 3.96 ERA. According to Baseball Savant, Quintana has a five-pitch arsenal: sinker […]

PECOTA projections peg Brewers for second place in NL Central

Baseball Prospectus’ PECOTA (Player Empirical Comparison and Optimization Test Algorithm) standings projections are out. Brewers fans won’t like them much. At BP, Jonathan Judge has described the challenges that projection systems face with teams like the Brewers. Those challenges can be boiled down as such: Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal adds another thought to […]

Brew Crew Ball Daily Question: Who won the Brewers-Red Sox trade?

We’re back with another daily question, and today’s is a look at yesterday’s deal between the Brewers and the Red Sox. In a deal just about nobody saw coming, the Crew sent three infielders (Caleb Durbin, Andruw Monasterio, and Anthony Seigler) and a draft pick (No. 67 overall) to the Red Sox for a pair […]

Who are the Brewers’ third base options after Caleb Durbin trade?

Who’s on third? I don’t know. An Abbott & Costello sketch has turned into reality for the Milwaukee Brewers after Monday’s trade with the Boston Red Sox. The Brewers had seven different players spend time at third base last season. The leading returner at the position is Sal Frelick, who played one inning in one […]

Which prospect did Red Sox send to Brewers in six-player trade for Caleb Durbin?

The Red Sox continued to bolster their infield mix on Monday morning by swinging a six-player trade with the Brewers. In exchange for left-handers Shane Drohan and Kyle Harrison and infielder David Hamilton, Boston acquired infielders Caleb Durbin and Andruw Monasterio and infielder/catcher Anthony Seigler from Milwaukee, the club announced. Additionally, the Red Sox received … Continue reading "Which prospect did Red Sox send to Brewers in six-player trade for Caleb Durbin?"

There has to be something coming…

Matt Arnold has certainly earned the benefit of the doubt. In his time as the Brewers’ general manager, he’s swung a few trades that have worked out swimmingly for the Brewers. One of those happens to be last offseason’s trade for Caleb Durbin, who became an integral part of a team that led the league […]

Boston, Brewers make weird trade

MLB Trade Rumors: The Boston Red Sox and Milwaukee Brewers have agreed to a trade that would send third baseman Caleb Durbin from Milwaukee to Boston in exchange for pitchers Kyle Harrison and Shane Drohan and utility man David Hamilton, per multiple reports. This is what happens when spring training is looming. Mickey Gilley used […]

Red Sox acquire third baseman Caleb Durbin in trade with Brewers

Ladies and gentlemen, the Boston Red Sox have a third baseman! As first reported by Jeff Passan (who else?) the Red Sox have acquired 25-year-old Caleb Durbin in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers. Heading the other way are Kyle Harrison, David Hamilton, and Shane Drohan. We’ll have more on Durbin soon, but the quick […]

Brew Crew Ball Daily Question: What will the biggest positional battles be for the Brewers this spring?

NOTE: This article was written prior to the Durbin/Monasterio/Siegler trade Monday morning. I did update the positional battle section, as Milwaukee no longer has a clear third baseman. We’re back with another daily question, and today’s is a look ahead at spring training. The Brewers have brought back a roster filled with returning players, but […]

Today in White Sox History: February 9

1914 Future two-time White Sox owner Bill Veeck was born, in Chicago. Baseball’s greatest promoter presided over two of the most exciting seasons in team history, the 1959 pennant winners and 1977’s South Side Hit Men. More vilified than appreciated by baseball’s ruling class, Veeck’s career saw him also owning the (minor league) Milwaukee Brewers, […]
