The Milwaukee Brewers’ roster as it stands looks pretty balanced, with plenty of carryover from 2025 and very few clear holes. One potential hole, however, is catching depth. Behind starter William Contreras, the only other catcher currently on the 40-man roster is 23-year-old prospect Jeferson Quero, who hasn’t yet made an MLB appearance. While it’s […]
Recent reports indicate that FanDuel Sports Network, one of the biggest regional sports networks remaining in the traditional media market, is at serious risk of bankruptcy. Without getting too deep into the weeds of corporate restructuring and renaming practices, FanDuel was formerly known as Bally Sports Network before their parent company (Diamond Sports Group, now […]
The Brewers don’t have an infield problem in the way most teams do. There are bodies. There’s versatility. There are multiple paths to a functional 26-man roster without needing a single external move. But heading into 2026, Milwaukee’s infield feels like a classic “depth vs. clarity” situation. They’ve got eight infielders on the 40-man right […]
While we wait for substantial news about the Brewers this offseason, we’ve reached the point where I thought it would be fun to take a look back a little bit. How many of these articles get written is kind of up to Milwaukee’s front office, but we’ll get started with this one, a somewhat forgotten […]
While some teams have already made moves to upgrade their roster during this year’s free agency, many of the biggest names available remain unsigned. Earlier in the offseason, Paul wrote a series of (extremely thorough) articles on Brewers’ potential offseason targets. That was before the Brewers traded outfielder Isaac Collins (who appeared in 130 games […]
The Brewers haven’t made a ton of major moves this offseason, mostly maintaining their roster from the end of 2025 into the new year. Outside of the Ángel Zerpa-Nick Mears-Isaac Collins trade last weekend, Milwaukee’s biggest moves are the signing of Akil Baddoo and the team bringing Brandon Woodruff back on a qualifying offer. But […]
Before reading this article, you should check out Paul’s coverage of the Ángel Zerpa trade and Harrison’s article on what to expect from Zerpa. Last week, the Brewers traded Isaac Collins and Nick Mears to the Royals in exchange for lefty reliever Ángel Zerpa, who had a 4.18 ERA last season. This is a trade […]
Harrison took an early stab at predicting the Opening Day 26-man roster yesterday, and it got me thinking about something that’s come up in conversations lately, and that’s whether the Brewers will have any left-handed pitchers in their starting rotation. That also led to the question of whether or not it actually matters whether there […]
The Milwaukee Brewers have had a fairly quiet offseason thus far. Just to quickly recap the few major transactions they have made, here’s the list: From the 40-man roster to close out the season, that means only five losses (Jansen, Hoskins, Quintana, Mears, and Collins) and three additions (Crow, Baddoo, and Zerpa). Woodruff is a […]
The Brewers found a gem in manager Pat Murphy. In his first two seasons as the Brewers’ manager, he’s led the team to 190 regular-season wins, two division titles, and an NLCS appearance. He’s won back-to-back NL Manager of the Year titles. He’s become an amazing manager for the Brewers. However, his future is somewhat […]
On Saturday, the Brewers traded outfielder Isaac Collins and reliever Nick Mears to the Kansas City Royals for pitcher Ángel Zerpa. That has a lot of implications for the bullpen, obviously (check out Harrison’s look at Zerpa), but Collins also started almost four times as many games in left field than any other Brewer outfielder […]
The Milwaukee Brewers bolstered their pitching staff on Saturday afternoon, acquiring left-handed pitcher Ángel Zerpa from the Kansas City Royals for outfielder Isaac Collins and right-hander Nick Mears. Zerpa, 26, joins a Milwaukee club looking to build on the best record season in franchise history under a coaching staff that has capitalized on pitching potential […]
Another shoe has dropped in the wake of the Brewers’ signing of Akil Baddoo: Isaac Collins, last year’s primary left fielder for much of the season, has been traded to the Kansas City Royals, along with Nick Mears, who pitched 76 times for the Brewers since arriving at the 2024 trade deadline. Coming back to […]
The National League Central is consistently one of the more exciting divisions in baseball, and even though the Brewers have found themselves on top each of the last three and four of the last five seasons, there are still plenty of doubters. While the Brewers have mostly stood pat this offseason, their NL Central foes […]
The Brewers have made their first major league move in the 2026 free agent market. According to Ken Rosenthal, the Brewers are signing outfielder Akil Baddoo to a major league deal. The major league nature of the deal is somewhat of a surprise, given that Baddoo spent almost all of last season in the minors. […]
The free agent market winnowed down a bit during this year’s MLB Winter Meetings in Orlando, but there are still plenty of big names left, led by the biggest prize this offseason, Kyle Tucker. Let’s take a quick position by position look at the top names (anybody with positive WAR) remaining. Each player’s 2026 seasonal […]
Day three of the Winter Meetings started strong, with another big free agent signing dominating the early news. It quieted down a little from there, as the Rule 5 draft took place and more rumors continued to swirl around other players on the market.
In this year’s Rule 5 draft, 13 players were selected by 12 teams, with the Chicago White Sox taking a pair of players and all other teams passing or selecting just one player. As a quick refresher on Rule 5 rules, players who were 18 and under at the time of their original signing and […]
Monday was a slow day at the MLB Winter Meetings, but things finally started moving on Tuesday when two of the top available free agents signed new deals, one with his incumbent team and one with a new one. The MLB Draft lottery also happened late this afternoon. Here are today’s most notable news items:
Most people know the Winter Meetings as a space for executives (and occasionally players) to discuss potential trades and free agent signings. While that’s the main purpose of the Meetings, it’s not the only thing that’s happening down in sunny Orlando, Florida this week. Major League Baseball will be announcing the results of this year’s […]
After more than a month of voting, we’ve reached the end of our 2025 MVBrewers rankings. Closing out our group of 10 is first baseman Andrew Vaughn, another midseason addition and the fourth consecutive newcomer to close out our list, coming in behind Quinn Priester, Caleb Durbin, and Abner Uribe (who has been with the […]
UPDATE: Trevor Megill is also drawing some trade interest, in addition to Freddy Peralta. Joel Sherman reports that several teams are also interested in Megill, led by the Mets and Yankees. The Winter Meetings officially kicked off in Orlando, Florida today. Overall, it was a quiet first day at the meetings. There were a couple […]
Voting results for the Contemporary Baseball Era Players Committee’s ballot were announced on Sunday evening, as Jeff Kent was the lone player selected, receiving 14 of 16 votes (87.5%) cast by the committee. This year’s ballot consisted of players whose primary contributions to the game came since 1980, and candidates needed to receive 75% of […]
Caleb Durbin took our No. 8 spot earlier this week, and today we’re here to crown the No. 9 player in our MVBrewers rankings. Reliever Abner Uribe lays claim here, as he picked up 10 votes from the BCB community. Chad Patrick garnered four votes, while Andrew Vaughn and write-in votes for Aaron Ashby totaled […]
While the Brewers have a young and talented roster, improvements can always be made. GM Matt Arnold has shown that he’s unafraid to make a move during the Winter Meetings if the right offer presents itself. Maybe Arnold will want to bring in some competition, or a platoon player, for shortstop Joey Ortiz going into […]
