We’re kicking off our ranking of the Brewers’ 10 most valuable players in 2025 with third baseman Caleb Durbin. Durbin finished the season with 2.9 bWAR and 2.6 fWAR, good for seventh and sixth on the team, respectively. While old for a rookie at 25 years old, Durbin has come a long way from being […]

Tonight, the organization unveiled their top three vote-getters for each of the awards. Two members of the Brewers were […]
In a flurry of moves on Monday afternoon, several of the decisions to watch for the Milwaukee Brewers were decided. In the least surprising move of the day, the team picked up RHP Freddy Peralta’s club option for 2026, which will pay him $8 million in his final year before hitting free agency. Two mutual […]

As the World Series rolls on, the Toronto Blue Jays represent an interesting mirror-image of the Milwaukee Brewers. While Milwaukee struggled in their 4-0 series loss in the NLCS, their roster bears similarities to the Blue Jays, who have put up a much more convincing effort. Both teams, renowned for their defense and plate-approaches, are […]

Now that we’re closer to the end of the AFL than the beginning, here’s some updates on a few standout prospects. Josh Adamczewski (No. 13) Adamczewski had one of the biggest […]
Earlier this week, I wrote a post that looked at each position on the Brewers and identified shortstop and the outfield as the most likely places that the team could improve the team in 2026 (with a TBD in the starting rotation). As a follow-up to that post, I’m going to look at the upcoming […]
Free agency is fast approaching, though there’s still a little time until the countdown begins. The offseason will kick off in full five days after the end of the World Series, which will continue until Friday at a minimum. In preparation for this, let’s take a look at where the Brewers’ payroll stands heading into […]
By the time he was named player-manager of the Cincinnati Reds in 1984, Pete Rose was the proud owner of three World Series rings, 16 All-Star selections, and more than 4,000 hits. Yet, at the same time, Rose was — in his own words — “pushing toward disaster.” You know the rest of the story. […]

As the Milwaukee Brewers’ season retreats further into the rearview mirror, we are naturally starting to think about the offseason, which will begin in earnest at the Winter Meetings the week of December 7. The Brewers should have money to spend this offseason, and they certainly have the chips to make a trade if they […]

Sporting News announced MLB awards winners on Thursday morning, and multiple Brewers players and personnel took home some more hardware.

I know, I know, the Brewers aren’t in the World Series. It’s unfortunate. Still, it will be an interesting series (with potential collective bargaining ramifications!) as the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays take the field. Check out some of the connections these teams have to Wisconsin and the Brewers here! The Dodgers are […]
The 2025 World Series is set to begin Friday evening in Toronto as the Blue Jays take on the Los Angeles Dodgers, who are looking to defend their title after taking the 2024 edition.

Most of the articles written on Brew Crew Ball recently have focused on the Brewers’ performance in the playoffs, with good reason. This is going to be different. As BCB’s resident minor league writer, I feel a duty — nay, an obligation — to remind you just how stacked the Brewers’ farm system is. While […]
While baseball fans turn their attention to the World Series, award season is gaining some traction in the background. For Milwaukee fans, it might be some solace to see their players take home some well-deserved personal hardware. Three Brewers players made their way on to the ballots this season. The award is based on “a […]
There have been some great rotations in the modern era for the Brewers. The 2021 rotation is the gold standard in terms of stats. They were far ahead of any other rotation by starting pitcher fWAR (20.3), and also had the best ERA (3.13) and FIP (3.29). The 2011 rotation helped earn the team its […]
