It struck many as strange that the Brewers signed Eric Haase to a split deal in Decembe...2965Tue, 14 Jan 2025 17:27:22 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/can-trevor-megill-sustain-high-leverage-success-with-a-two-pitch-mix-r2963/Throughout history, some of the game's best closers have found success sporting a limited pitch arsenal. Can Trevor Megill continue to thrive that way? Mariano Rivera, Trevor Hoffman, and Craig Kimbrel had some of their most dominant years with a simple two-pitch mix. Sometimes, Rivera and K...2963Tue, 14 Jan 2025 12:26:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/joey-ortiz-and-the-paradox-of-being-on-time-r2962/The Brewers' 2024 third baseman will be their ostensible starting shortstop in 2025, and they will need a productive version of him. Can he sustain, and even build upon, what he did at the plate as a rookie? Hitting is hard, man. It's viciously hard, and (at the big-league level) harder than...2962Tue, 14 Jan 2025 00:05:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/is-tyler-black-capable-of-more-power-the-data-say-yes-r2955/The positionless left-handed hitter saw his prospect stock dip in 2024, in part because his bat wasn't strong enough to distract anyone from his defensive struggles. Can he tap into more offensive production in 2025?

Prior to the 2023 season, MLB instituted several rules to make stealing bases easier, in an attempt to make the game more action-packed and appealing to Gen-Z viewers with a TikTo...2958Mon, 13 Jan 2025 12:35:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/lets-road-trip-brewers-2025-trip-1-those-damn-yankees-r2947/The Brewers open the 2025 season with a rare one-city road trip to the daunting confines of Yankee Stadium. Will this late-March journey bring early success against everyone's rival? Or will the World Series runner-ups take out their frustration on the Brew Crew?

Brandon Woodruff has posted some historically good numbers (not to mention a moment of glory), while Wade Miley has been solid.

Arbitration is a dreaded topic in all baseball circles. Hearings are unpleasant.
