Leading the decline of Brewers blogs but with the best Junior Guerra content.
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.

In a move that seemingly came out of nowhere, the Milwaukee Brewers have traded third baseman Caleb Durbin, utility infielders Andruw Monasterio and Anthony Seigler, and their competitive balance B pick to the Boston Red Sox. In return, Milwaukee has acquired left-handed starter Kyle Harrison, infielder David Hamilton, and minor league left-hander Shane Drohan. Harrison, […]

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 […]

We’re back with another daily question, and today’s is football themed for Super Bowl Sunday. Credit to BCB user Brew Crew Buster, who commented the discussion idea last week. I don’t want to prejudice anybody’s “Brewer football team” here by giving any sort of insight into my hypothetical roster, so I’ll just leave this one […]

Baseball Prospectus is widely regarded as one of the best sites for prospect analysis. While most major publications have already released their lists of the top prospects in baseball, BP didn’t release theirs until this Wednesday. Four of the five Brewers who made the list are consensus top prospects. The fifth is a recent draftee […]

As Brewers fans, we’ve quickly become used to making it into the postseason. After just four playoff appearances from the franchise’s inception in 1969 (as the Seattle Pilots) through their first 49 seasons, Milwaukee has now made it to October baseball in seven of the last eight seasons, including five NL Central titles. But is […]

Continuing our February Daily Question series, we’re beginning today’s conversation with the question, “When did you become a tried and true Brewer fan? For me, someone born at the turn of the century, I (thankfully) haven’t had to endure many terrible seasons. I fell in love with baseball when I was five, but moreso from […]

When Freddy Peralta was traded from the Brewers, we lost not only a beloved franchise hero, but we also lost one interesting storyline from the season: had Peralta remained a Brewer and been healthy throughout the season, he would’ve passed Yovani Gallardo as the franchise’s all-time leader in strikeouts. As it stands, Peralta is instead […]

Just a few short weeks ago, 18-year-old Brewers left-handed pitching prospect Frank Cairone was hit head-on by a vehicle that ran a stop sign in his home state of New Jersey. Cairone was airlifted to a hospital where he was treated for serious injuries. The road to recovery seemed like it could be very long, […]

It’s a great time to be a Brewers fan. The foremost reason is that the Brewers just had their best regular season ever, finishing 97-65 and winning the NL Central. While it’s not exactly realistic to project improvement, that 2025 team could very well be the least talented Brewers team of the next few years. […]

By this point in the year, most of the major publications — other than Baseball Prospectus, which deserves its own article — have released their list of the top 100 prospects in baseball heading into the 2026 season.
