An unfortunate thing happened on the way to th...745Sun, 19 Feb 2023 13:52:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/with-an-eye-on-july-brewers-sign-left-handed-reliever-justin-wilson-r746/The Milwaukee Brewers like to maintain leverage and keep their options open, and by adding one potential second-half bullpen contributor now via free agency, they've decreased (if only slightly) the chances that they'll have to trade from their farm depth to acquire another at midseason.

Only Eric Thames was the primary starter at the position fo...739Fri, 17 Feb 2023 16:17:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/pecota-projections-love-the-brewers-2023-starting-pitching-rotation-r738/The underachieving pitching staff was the main reason the Milwaukee Brewers failed to reach the postseason in 2022.

He’s shown stellar upside at the plate, but like a couple of his teammates, he might benefit from a more aggressive approach.
