VIDEO via Curt Hogg's "Brewer Territory" with Corey Knebel: "Garrett Mitchell, Joey Ortiz and six Brewers 'swing' players for 2026"

Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "The Baseball Prospectus PECOTA rankings believe the Brewers will finish around .500 and well behind the Cubs. Even though the Brewers won 97 games last year and bring back a ton of the same players. So why does the projection system have such a relatively low opinion of the Brewers (and not for the first time)? Jonathan Judge, the modeling guru of the PECOTA rankings, stops by (31:30) to discuss what his projection system looks for, why it prefers the Cubs so much more than the Brewers, which players are poised for a surprising year (good and bad) and why the Brewers have been able to overperform these rankings in the past. But also, perhaps there's some reason for concern?

Before that, Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak discusses the extension for manager Pat Murphy, the status of Trevor Megill in the context of the Milwaukee bullpen and what he's seen - if anything - through the first couple days of actual games. We also get an update on the Maryvale Cat, plus uniform takes!"

Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "Surprise! It's a mid-week episode of Microbrew, where host JR Radcliffe is joined by @Spencer Michaelis of Brewer Fanatic to get a full deep dive on the state of the Brewers highly regarded minor-league system. That includes several players in spring training this year and players who will contribute mightily over the next two years.

They discuss what traits allow the Brewers to shine, the shift from a pitching haven to a hitters paradise, the reasons we should be stoked for Jesús Made and Luis Peña, a trio of future (or present?) third-base options, the players most likely to impact the team in 2026, the best pitchers in the organization now that Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson are with the big-league team, the breakout stars in waiting, whom we're likely to see if we visit High A in Appleton and a few guys still below your radar. For now."

Latest Milwaukee Tailgate Podcast - "It's time for our annual series previewing the upcoming Brewers season, starting off with the offense.

How has the ball/strike challenge system impacted the game? Who else is jumping out?

Then, Todd and JR provide the first Three Up, Three Down of the season (31:30), spinning through some intriguing spring highlights including homers robbed by weird ground rules, a viral Jacob Misiorowski video, a three-run single, a dinged-up food truck, Joey Ortiz with the bases loaded and young prospects who have impressed."

Tuesday 3/3:

Via ESPN Wisconsin's "Homer Hour" (download link): "Brewers insider Dom Cotroneo breaks down what’s happening in Spring Training and why the Brewers’ long-term plan continues to work. The conversation centered around Milwaukee’s patient, development-driven model and why investing in pitching depth and player development makes more sense than overspending on veteran arms. Dom explained how the Brewers are handling Jacob Misiorowski’s workload, why 150 innings could be the target, and how the organization is building toward October rather than chasing April headlines. He also highlighted other arms to watch this season and made the case that Milwaukee’s roster heading into camp may actually be stronger than the one that won 97 games last year. The big takeaway: the Brewers’ sustainable blueprint isn’t about splash — it’s about smart, steady, long-term success."
