Late last week at Baseball Prospectus, I wrote about an inte...2730Mon, 21 Oct 2024 15:18:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/the-brewers-have-the-depth-to-avoid-expensive-mistakes-in-free-agency-r2727/With the hot stove league not so far into the future, questions about what the Brewers should do in the offseason are already swirling. There is a strong case for them to steer clear of one typical offseason course of action for a team that made an early playoff exit. The Brewers do not need...2727Sun, 20 Oct 2024 11:53:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/sal-frelick-should-embrace-a-tradeoff-for-greater-bat-speed-r2725/His dramatic postseason blast was a reminder that while the slap-hitting outfielder will never be a power hitter, there's a more explosive version of his swing that he would benefit from channeling more frequently. Sal Frelick’s improbable home run in Game 3 of the Wild Card Series didn’t ju...2725Sat, 19 Oct 2024 11:50:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/is-carrying-three-catchers-more-viable-than-it-seems-for-brewers-r2724/It's so ubiquitous it feels inevitable, but the league is full of teams operating at a totally voluntary extreme. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the massive attendant disruption to the sport, it was a long time between the league passing rules limiting teams to 13 pitchers on their 26-...2724Fri, 18 Oct 2024 11:16:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/should-brewers-hold-devin-williams-until-the-2025-mlb-trade-deadline-r2723/The market for relief pitchers tends to get hotter in the summer than around the stove in the winter. For various reasons, therefore, the Brewers might be well-suited to retain their relief ace heading into next season. Multiple factors affect the demand for any given player on the trade mar...2723Thu, 17 Oct 2024 15:37:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/the-brewers-need-a-third-baseman-in-2025-here-are-the-internal-free-agent-options-r2721/The likely departure of Willy Adames this offseason in free agency will create a large hole in the Brewers' lineup. For this exercise, we will look at adding a third baseman, with Joey Ortiz shifting over to shortstop. A shortstop/second base duo of Ortiz and Turang would be stellar from a defen...2721Wed, 16 Oct 2024 11:55:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/bryse-wilson-elvis-peguero-hoby-milner-roster-crunch-platoon-splits/Milwaukee enters the offseason with a crowded roster of relievers, and even a likely trade won't fully alleviate that. Which other players might be on the outs? Back in March, Pat Murphy neatly articulated the important facets that make up bullpen construction in MLB right now. "We want...2720Tue, 15 Oct 2024 23:06:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/the-brewers-only-appear-to-have-about-15-million-to-spend-this-winter-so-far-r2719/Given their payroll projections and the way teams do year-to-year accounting, the Brewers have little flexibility for offseason spending, unless and until they make trades to clear added space. At a cursory glance, the Brewers might appear to have a good chunk of money to spend in free agenc...2719Tue, 15 Oct 2024 11:15:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/if-brewers-trade-a-young-outfielder-which-teams-might-be-suitors-r2718/With their payroll unlikely to rise this winter, the Brewers will have to be creative in building their roster to sustain their recent success. One way to do that is via the trade market, and their best trade chips are in the outfield. No one is talking about moving Jackson Chourio or Christ...2718Mon, 14 Oct 2024 23:04:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/doesnt-indicate-where-your-programs-at-brewers-staying-grounded-after-latest-playoff-frustration-r2717/The Brewers shouldn't let another year of postseason heartbreak diminish confidence in their process. Early indicators are that the club's decision-makers have the proper response. Postseason baseball has not been kind to the Brewers in recent years.

Earlier this week, it was announced that the Brewers would not be renewing...2713Mon, 14 Oct 2024 11:54:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/the-brewers-can-and-should-keep-willy-adames-in-milwaukee-r2714/Many Brewers fans dread Willy Adames's pending free agency, thinking his departure is inevitable. But the Brewers could, and should, do what it takes to keep Adames in Milwaukee. Spotrac predicts Willy Adames could land a six-year, $152.2 million deal in free agency. It’s a lot of cash, but...2714Sun, 13 Oct 2024 12:26:01 +0000
