I remember what I was doing when I heard that the Brewers signed Rhys Hoskins to a two-year, $34 million deal. I was ordering a slice of pizza while on my way to play catch with a buddy at a lo...3149Thu, 13 Mar 2025 11:57:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/blake-perkins-has-a-plan-to-be-better-in-2025%E2%80%94as-a-hitter-and-as-a-teammate-r3148/The injured Brewers outfielder has been oft-spotted in the team's dugout during Cactus League games, a sign of his commitment to the people around him. He's also committed to making more contact and being more of a force on offense when he returns. In the past, when Blake Perkins was injured...3148Wed, 12 Mar 2025 23:10:03 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/2025-nl-central-preview-cincinnati-reds-r3087/The Reds come into the 2025 season with high hopes and a new manager. Terry Francona takes over the reins and brings with him two World Series titles and a career winning record of .538 during a 23-year managing resume. Pitcher Brent Suter said of Francona, “Where’s the wall? I’ll run through it...3087Wed, 12 Mar 2025 17:07:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/barring-injuries-connor-thomas-and-abner-uribe-have-inside-track-for-final-spots-in-brewers-bullpen-r3147/With two weeks left until Opening Day, the Brewers have to dodge injuries a while longer before zeroing in on their pitching staff for that day. Right now, though, it looks like there are three pitchers competing for the final two spots. The Brewers fervently believe that Elvin Rodriguez can...3147Wed, 12 Mar 2025 13:27:12 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/for-their-next-trick-watch-the-brewers-become-a-changeup-team-after-all-r3146/There's no One Weird Trick Batters Hate, when it comes to the Brewers. What batters are left to hate is just how many tricks the Crew's crew of hurlers have up their sleeves. Last season, only the St. Louis Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Pirates threw fewer offspeed pitches (as a percentage of...3146Tue, 11 Mar 2025 23:08:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/nl-central-preview-2025-chicago-cubs-r3081/The Milwaukee Brewers could face an actual challenge for NL Central supremacy in 2025, and it’s likely to come from Craig Counsell’s new stomping grounds. As the resident Chicago Cubs fan here on Brewer Fanatic (boo me all you want, I’ve seen what makes you cheer), I figured I’d graciously l...3081Tue, 11 Mar 2025 16:16:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/why-the-brewers-dont-wait-until-the-regular-season-to-start-stealing-bases-r3145/Spring training has already given us a glimpse into their plan to cause a ruckus on the basepaths this season. When you think of a “scrappy” baseball player, what do you imagine? Probably a guy no taller than 5-foot-9, who goes after every batted ball on defense and runs like the wind on off...3145Tue, 11 Mar 2025 15:09:14 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/brewers-recipe-for-success-under-new-mlb-schedule-massively-expensive-technology-coaches-with-eye-bags-and-blissful-ignorance-r3143/"The season’s the season," Christian Yelich said. And it is—but in a much more real sense, no, it isn't. Beginning in 2023, MLB made an important change to the schedule each team plays each year. Gone are the wildly imbalanced schedules that had been the status quo for the previous two decad...3143Tue, 11 Mar 2025 11:31:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/brewers-latest-roster-cuts-give-some-clarity-on-opening-day-bullpen-and-marching-orders-to-down-the-road-depth-arms-r3144/All of Monday's cuts for the Brewers were expected—inevitable, even. However, that doesn't mean either that the players farmed out won't help the team in 2025, or that no new information can be gleaned about the Opening Day roster from the moves. The Milwaukee Brewers optioned five more play...3144Mon, 10 Mar 2025 19:13:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/best-and-worst-case-scenarios-for-the-brewers-at-shortstop-r3139/The Brewers lost a star shortstop to free agency this winter, and haven't yet settled on how to replace him. We certainly know what they'd prefer, though. The Roster Situation Joey Ortiz is the front-runner to be the Brewers’ shortstop on Opening Day, replacing Willy Adames.

Some Brewers thrive in this world, through some combination of great physical courage and sheer stubbornness. The danger is very real, though, as the team is already learn...3141Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:09:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/brewers-week-in-review-the-spring-keeps-moving-r3140/The Brewers continued action in the Cactus League last week, with only a bit of rain to slow them down. Here's a quick recap, if you missed any of the action.
