- Signed 18-year old RHP Albert Vargas and assigned to DSL-Brewers2
- Signed 20-year old RHP Jesus Molina and assigned to DSL-Brewers2

@ARobsBrewCrew had given us a heads up on the Vargas signing back on February 7: "Not much is known about Vargas except that he works in the low 90’s with his fastball at the moment"

Also, while he is older than other DSL arms, Molina has touched 96 mph already.

I saw he wasn't listed as a probable starter this week and was hoping this wasn't the case. Big bummer.

LHP Caden Vire from the Arizona Complex League Brewers to Carolina.

Vire, heading into his age 21 season, was drafted in the 12th round out of a Vancouver, WA high school. He missed all of the 2023 season (we never did receive an official confirmation as to the nature of his injury), and as you'll see at the link above has only 24 pro innings under his belt.

That's a big returnee for the Shuckers. Bowman has been sneakily one of the most consistent and important arms in that Shuckers Pen. He had a really productive Big League ST as well. Here's hoping he stays healthy from here!

That is the beautiful look of a man who just crawled out of his woodshed in the U.P. to toss the white rat before returning to wrestle a bear.

He looks like a Shetland Pony

I’m glad he cut his hair … that picture looks silly

This audio interview archive indicates how Kaleb let his hair grow in order to eventually donate it.

And with that, we must now return the Transaction Thread (pretty please) to its rightful purpose, namely simply to list the year-long transactions. We try to encourage folks to post in the various team threads if they have miscellaneous comments on specific transactions.

Thanks.

Now is the time we will begin to see more players brought over from the DSL academy in preparation for the ACL season that begins on May 3.  RHP Argenis Aparicio is the latest arrival in Arizona.

Yeah there should be plenty of space. From A to AAA the Brewers have 125 players on active rosters or short term IL (this includes Ty Duvall on the Development List in AAA but not sure if he's still actually playing).

4/20 interview (as alluded to by Jim above): Duvall is a bullpen catcher with the Brewers at present after previously bullpen catching with the Sounds. Don't quite know what that means long-term but the role is set for now.

Is that a 2025 IFA signing that couldn't sign officially til he turned 16?
