With the vultures already circling, waiting for their chance to acquire the team’s lefty ace, Tarik Skubal, teammate Jack Flaherty might be an undervalued short-term starter. That is exactly what the Brewers should b...2439Thu, 25 Jul 2024 14:07:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-brewers-offense-got-too-small-in-chicago-r2437/After putting up eight runs in each of their first two games out of the All-Star break, the Brewers scored just five times in a three-game series win over the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Throughout those low-scoring affairs, they turned frequently to a play that has become a larger component of their...2437Thu, 25 Jul 2024 11:53:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/without-christian-yelich-brewers-lineup-will-need-to-assume-new-shape-r2436/As the Brewers tried to work with Christian Yelich to manage his nagging back issue, they took him off the field completely during their defensive innings. Yelich started the All-Star Game in the outfield for the National League, but hasn't started there for the Brewers since Jul. 9. In fact, in...2436Wed, 24 Jul 2024 16:12:38 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/why-sal-frelick-has-become-a-catcher-interference-machine-r2435/After striking the mitt of Ryan Jeffers in the eighth inning of Saturday’s extra-inning win over the Twins, Sal Frelick is tied for the major-league lead in reaching base on catcher interference. Frelick has been awarded first base three such times this year, plus a single in Colorado three week...2435Wed, 24 Jul 2024 11:39:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/can-internal-upgrades-really-replace-trade-deadline-acquisitions-for-brewers-r2427/With the bullpen faltering of late and crying out for someone who can lock down the eighth and ninth innings, the Brewers may need an arm that works in high leverage. Hoby Milner has been snakebitten so far this season, while Joel Payamps and Elvis Peguero have proved unreliable and taken a step...2427Tue, 23 Jul 2024 14:41:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/chris-bassitt-could-be-the-best-trade-target-for-brewers-starting-rotation-r2432/The Toronto Blue Jays have underachieved again in 2024, sitting 9.5 games out of a playoff spot at the All-Star break with a 44-52 record. They have a few pitchers who would intrigue the Milwaukee Brewers, but 35-year-old Chris Bassitt could be the best balance of salary relief for the Jays and...2432Tue, 23 Jul 2024 11:48:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/anatomy-of-a-move-taking-down-garrett-mitchell-for-jake-bauers-saturday-night-r2429/Garrett Mitchell has had to sit and watch a lot this season--just as he did last year. Injuries continue to slow his development and prevent the Brewers from properly evaluating him as a potential long-term piece of what is a deep and talented outfield mix. He has just 113 plate appearances in t...2429Mon, 22 Jul 2024 17:28:15 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/twins-series-proves-the-future-is-now-for-jackson-chourio-r2426/Last month, I wrote about how Jackson Chourio’s improved swing decisions against fastballs helped drive an offensive resurgence. I worried about whether that topic would age like milk, but thankfully, it has aged more like the Franzia you bought when you first turned 21--not that Chourio would k...2426Mon, 22 Jul 2024 14:09:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/super-super-huge-pet-peeve-of-mine-pat-murphy-on-the-play-hardly-anyone-in-mlb-does-right-r2424/Let's set the stage. In the bottom of the eighth inning Saturday evening, the Brewers clung to a 1-0 lead over the Twins, but the speedy Willi Castro stood at third base, and there was just one out. Castro had doubled, then moved up on a wild pitch by Elvis Peguero. That forced the Brewers infie...2424Mon, 22 Jul 2024 11:56:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-close-to-getting-back-four-key-players-and-making-some-tough-decisions-r2422/In addition to Joe Ross (who was already there) and Devin Williams (transferred there from High-A Wisconsin), the Brewers sent Jared Koenig and Gary Sánchez on rehab assignments to Triple-A Nashville this weekend. It's possible that all four of those players will return to the team at or before...2422Sun, 21 Jul 2024 11:46:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/is-andruw-monasterio-the-answer-as-utility-infielder-or-do-the-brewers-need-to-make-a-trade-r2420/Like all competing teams in July, the Brewers are looking to solidify their roster for the second half of the season. Sure, we’ve heard our rumors of adding pitching to the rotation and that Milwaukee's hitting is doing pretty well, but it leaves this question no one is really talking about: Wha...2420Sat, 20 Jul 2024 18:46:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/3-players-who-disappointed-in-the-first-half-r2415/Hoby Milner Following a marquee year where he posted a 1.82 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over 64 ⅓ innings, Milner has struggled to keep up the Hoby heroics. He has regressed meaningfully in ERA (4.91), WHIP (1.25), and H/9 (9.2) since the end of 2023.  On the bright side, it might not even be his f...2415Fri, 19 Jul 2024 11:57:00 +0000
