You're working against a clock, and that clock is only going to run a second or two, from the start of an opposing pitcher's windup to the pop of the catcher's mitt (if things get that far). You have to get a swing started...1865Tue, 20 Feb 2024 15:18:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-a-free-agent-deadline-could-affect-the-brewers-future-offseasons-r1860/Man, is it taking forever for some free agents players to find new teams. Spring Training has begun, and players like the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell still are free agents. What if there was a way to ensure players sign sooner? When Rob Manfred announced he was going to st...1860Tue, 20 Feb 2024 12:52:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brandon-woodruff-brewers-return-comeback/Brandon Woodruff is a fan favorite in Milwaukee whom many will be ecstatic to see back in a Brewers uniform. A nuggety ace with incredible raw stuff, Woodruff's humble attitude endears him to fans and teammates alike. His ability as a pitcher, though, will define this deal, and it could be one...1864Mon, 19 Feb 2024 20:10:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-re-sign-brandon-woodruff-to-two-year-deal-r1863/Brewers right-handed pitcher Brandon Woodruff has agreed to a two-year pact to return to the team. Jon Heyman was first to report the news. Woodruff is likely out for the 2024 season after undergoing surgery in October to repair the anterior capsule in his right shoulder. While we await the...1863Mon, 19 Feb 2024 15:43:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/position-battles-spring-monasterio-mitchell-wiemer-sanchez-haase-black/The Brewers have a lot of talent vying for the final spot or two on their Opening Day roster, both in the upper levels of the minor-league system and already on their 40 man roster. Most positions are hotly contested, and it may leave some unhappy campers. Working on the rough assumption that al...1862Mon, 19 Feb 2024 12:40:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/sal-frelick-moving-to-infield-would-let-brewers-sign-another-big-bat-r1861/It sounds like, for the moment, Sal Frelick is only taking reps at second and third base so as to be ready in case of emergency. The story in The Athletic that reported Frelick's offseason project included praise for his progress from Dustin Pedroia (himself an undersized player who ended up rig...1861Sun, 18 Feb 2024 16:57:03 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-2024-season-breakouts-sal-frelick-joey-wiemer/The "Freshmen" were a much-vaunted portion of the Brewers system early last season, with video on Brice Turang, Sal Frelick, Garrett Mitchell, and Joey Wiemer catching fire and providing a buzz around the club that we hadn’t seen for a while. Despite some hot moments in the season, such as Turan...1859Sun, 18 Feb 2024 13:18:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/milwaukee-brewers-2024-spring-training-position-battles-fifth-starter-r1858/Even without Corbin Burnes and Brandon Woodruff, the Brewers have managed to build a relatively veteran, relatively solid front half for their starting staff entering 2024. Behind newly lonely ace Freddy Peralta stand three well-traveled hurlers without elite stuff, but with good recent results...1858Fri, 16 Feb 2024 12:14:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/spring-training-preview-position-battles-2b-turang-dunn-ortiz-brown/Second base was a troubled position for the Milwaukee Brewers in 2023, due to the struggles of rookie Brice Turang, but a lack of successful alternatives meant he got regular reps at the spot. He's still in the driver's seat, but there's some stiff competition coming his way. The Incumbent:...1851Thu, 15 Feb 2024 14:34:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/trade-rumor-willy-adames-gavin-lux-edward-cabrera-dodgers-marlins/The most natural destination for Willy Adames in a trade would be the Los Angeles Dodgers, who are trying to put the finishing touches on the best roster in baseball. Whenever Adames and the Dodgers are linked in trade discussions, the name that pops up is Gavin Lux.

Over nearly a decade, the Brewers have earned a reputation as (perhaps) the best team in baseball at training the subtle and supremely val...1855Wed, 14 Feb 2024 14:55:16 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/bullpen-trade-candidates-williams-payamps-peguero-vieira-bukauskas-more/Coming into the offseason, it appeared as though the Brewers' young outfield crop would be thinned down in return for MLB-ready talent at positions of greater need. However, it seems the Brewers are content (for now) to let them compete for starting positions. Unfortunately, the same cannot be s...1853Wed, 14 Feb 2024 12:37:01 +0000
