They’re both in what many coastal dwellers would deem “flyover states." They both sit on the shores of one of the Great Lakes, where they became major hubs of commerce because of their ports. Both cities have seen their populations stagnate or shrink...4142Thu, 05 Feb 2026 12:38:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-blossoming-freddy-peralta-trade-tree-r4137/To the surprise of no one, the Brewers traded away arguably their best pitcher for the third winter in a row. This time, Freddy Peralta was sent to the Mets, with two consensus top-100 prospects returning to Milwaukee.

Through a brilliant move, they secured the long-term services of William Contreras, plus the useful Joel Payamps, for the price of Esteury Ruiz, who’s since been dealt to two other teams.

With incredible athleticism, a feel for the big moments, and raw power to all fields, there is very little he couldn't achieve on the baseball field.

Averaging between 96-97 mph since his debut on his four-seam fastball, there were concerns he might be sitting at 91-92 mph in 2025, and that mandated a total change in his arsenal. Instead of blowing fastballs past h...4140Tue, 03 Feb 2026 18:03:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/major-league-baseball-to-take-over-brewers-broadcast-production-distribution-for-2026-r4139/This news was just this side of inevitable, but it still registers as a major development.

Most notably, Eric Longenhagen of FanGraphs tagged just a 30 present value on Williams's contact ability, on the 20-80 scale. Longenhagen cited a steep swing plane without a lot of adjust...4136Mon, 02 Feb 2026 12:39:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/a-breakdown-of-the-17-non-roster-invites-to-brewers-spring-training-r4133/With the minor league signing and non-roster invite extended to Reese McGuire earlier this week, the number of NRIs that will work out in the major league camp at American Family Fields of Phoenix was increased to 17 players.
