It has been around for more than 20 years, and Szymborski's write-ups of the results have become...4015Thu, 11 Dec 2025 12:54:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/sources-3-teams-actively-interested-in-freddy-peralta-deal-could-come-this-month-r4011/The Atlanta Braves, Houston Astros and San Diego Padres have emerged as the most interested parties in the Freddy Peralta trade market, league sources told Brewer Fanatic this week. During the MLB Winter Meetings, Washington Nationals left-hander MacKenzie Gore and Miami Marlins righty Edward Ca...4011Wed, 10 Dec 2025 18:06:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/depth-check-what-do-the-brewers-have-at-first-base-r4003/In 2025, the Brewers got excellent production (in the aggregate) at first base. Rhys Hoskins, Andrew Vaughn, and Jake Bauers each carried the team at times. Hoskins has departed via free agency, after the Brewers declined their end of a mutual option, but can first base be as productive in 2026...4003Wed, 10 Dec 2025 12:31:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/as-top-nl-contenders-improve-pressure-on-brewers-mounts-r4009/No team in baseball is paying a smaller share of its own team's payroll than are the Milwaukee Brewers. Even if we set aside the huge lump sum each team receives each year from the league's national TV rights agreements and the quarterly payments the Crew get as revenue-sharing payees, they get...4009Tue, 09 Dec 2025 19:03:44 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/is-2026-a-make-or-break-year-for-brewers-tyler-black-r4005/In one sense, it seems absurd that Tyler Black is in a make-or-break situation with the Brewers. He was a top-100 prospect after his breakout 2023 season, but then things went sideways. Two trades in the 2023-2024 offseason put Joey Ortiz and Oliver Dunn ahead of Black at third base—though he, i...4005Tue, 09 Dec 2025 14:36:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/trevor-megill-trade-rumors-swirl-why-brewers-should-be-open-to-dealing-him-r4008/Freddy Peralta has been the most popular Brewer in trade speculation this offseason, but the New York Post’s Joel Sherman reported on Monday evening that Milwaukee has also received calls about reliever Trevor Megill, including from the New York Mets and New York Yankees. It’s best to take most...4008Tue, 09 Dec 2025 12:45:32 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/is-2026-a-make-or-break-year-for-aaron-ashby-r4004/It might seem odd to view 2026 as a make-or-break year for Aaron Ashby. In 2024 and 2025, he’s combined for a 2.37 ERA in 95 innings pitched across 57 games, with 109 strikeouts. This was after he missed most of 2023 and a fair bit of 2024, due to shoulder surgery. He'd delivered some tantalizin...4004Mon, 08 Dec 2025 17:10:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/how-pitcher-evaluation-is-changing-and-how-it-might-affect-milwaukee-brewers-offseason-r4002/Because I’m a proud Zoomer and enjoy doomscrolling, I spend a good amount of time on the “For You” section of my Twitter feed. It’s primarily AI shilling and rabid opinions on sports, but like a bag of jelly beans, every so often, something good shows up in the middle of the gooey multi-colored...4002Sun, 07 Dec 2025 23:11:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/why-the-brewers-should-sign-isiah-kiner-falefa-to-balance-joey-ortizs-offensive-struggles-r4001/It is no secret that the Brewers are not totally happy with the offense of shortstop Joey Ortiz. Although Ortiz appeared in a career-high 149 games last season, he was removed for a pinch-hitter 34 times by manager Pat Murphy. Right now, Andruw Monasterio is the main backup, while Brice Turang a...4001Sun, 07 Dec 2025 17:11:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/despite-a-strong-rookie-season-isaac-collins-is-a-question-mark-in-brewers-outfield-r3998/For most of this season, Isaac Collins was a bona fide contender for National League Rookie of the Year. Through August, the 28-year-old hit .274/.371/.425 (126 wRC+) and tied Drake Baldwin for the most fWAR (2.5) among NL rookies. Yet, by the time October rolled around, Collins had been ef...3998Sun, 07 Dec 2025 12:40:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/three-free-agent-catchers-the-brewers-should-target-in-free-agency-r3994/William Contreras is back for his fourth year as the ironman behind the plate for the Brewers. His hitting fell off somewhat last season, as evidenced by a decline of all three slash numbers and a drop in home runs from 23 to 17. True, he played through some nagging hand injuries, but who out th...3994Sat, 06 Dec 2025 12:56:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/why-the-brewers-are-the-best-fit-for-a-byron-buxton-trade-r3997/The Minnesota Twins are still in sell mode, after their fire sale at the 2025 trade deadline. One of their two top starters, Pablo López and Joe Ryan, could be moved to alleviate their payroll pinch, even after the team reduced spending by roughly $30 million from 2023 to 2024 and by another few...3997Fri, 05 Dec 2025 19:03:01 +0000
