Monday's Birthdays:

RHP Wenderlyn King, who recently made his Wilson debut, turns 21.

Utilityman Roderick Flores, four years into his Brewers tenure, two years in the DSL, two in Maryvale, turns 20. Flores primarily played first base in 2026 despite his listed 5'9" stature (likely in need of updating). Flores posted an .864 OPS with Maryvale this past season.

Tuesday's Birthday:

RHP Cesar Espinal turns 21 one day after his Wilson teammate King.

I understand the proximity to the Big League ballpark. BUT, why not send Uribe and Romero to Biloxi for a week? 🤭

Did they mess with the ball again in AA? Biloxi has really struggled recently.

Here's some benign Brewers Minor League news:

The Milwaukee Brewers will be a part of the Scottsdale Scorpions roster in this year's AFL season. They will add to a roster also filled with players from the Tigers, Astros, Giants, and Rays. Can we repeat? I think we can!

Nope. BUT, they did announce the team compositions (ie org assignments) today as well as the schedule. They won't announce which players orgs are sending to the desert until after the Minor League seasons complete.

HINT: The Brewers come in ranked Numero Uno.

Was more joking that the year is nearly over when it feels like it just started.

Oh. Gotcha! Yeah, it's kind of nuts eh? Baseball coverage and interest literally is a year round affair. It's pretty bananas. I wonder if the Brewers revisit the Aussie League this winter or if last year indicated their done with the overseas project.

Yes and hopefully cooler weather here in AZ.  But the AFL might be a bit of a wet one this year.  Well wet in terms of AZ wet weather.

How deep is the Brewers minor league infield pool? They mentioned ten prospects in the article who are all in the org Top Twenty and you could still make a whole other infield out of intriguing guys they have outside the Top 25...

2B O'Rae (UR | 394 PA of 113 wRC+ at AA | 50 SB)
