Their projected starters at those positions are Andrew Monasterio at third base and Jake Bauers at first. The Crew can make do with these guys for the start of the season if they please, or even add pro...1736Thu, 21 Dec 2023 12:11:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/mets-trade-coleman-crow-adrian-houser-tyrone-taylor/The Brewers elected to tender contracts to both Adrian Houser and Tyrone Taylor at last month's deadline to do so for arbitration-eligible players, but now, both will re-join Stearns with his new team. In exchange, the Brewers pick up a talented injury reclamation project on the mound. Ken Rosen...1739Wed, 20 Dec 2023 21:10:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/free-agent-catcher-eric-haase-brewers-contract/The Brewers have announced the deal, so it's official. However, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel had it first. Haase, who just turned 31, had a long journey to a job in the big leagues. He emerged as a major contributor with the Tigers in 2021 and 2022, but his production...1738Wed, 20 Dec 2023 18:07:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/trade-candidate-corbin-burnes-dodgers-nick-frasso-michael-busch-river-ryan-trey-sweeney/It's not inconceivable that the Los Angeles Dodgers would trade Gavin Lux to the Brewers in a trade for Corbin Burnes, and it's not inconceivable that the Brewers would have interest in acquiring him. Lux, 26, just lost an entire season to injury, and he's never put it all together at the big-leag...1735Wed, 20 Dec 2023 12:12:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/corbin-burnes-trade-rumors-arbitration-anger-josh-hader-trade-qualifying-offer/Never mind my preference that the Milwaukee Brewers trade Corbin Burnes for a topflight prospect. While I believe that's the best strategic option for the team in 2024 and beyond, the right deal might not exist. If GM Matt Arnold doesn't get what he's looking for in a swap, it's perfectly reason...1732Tue, 19 Dec 2023 12:35:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/william-contreras-bonus-pool-pre-arbitration-extension-rumors-joel-payamps/In his first season with the Brewers and fourth in the big leagues, William Contreras earned $739,000 in salary. In a system wherein players get paid something very close to the league-minimum salary (just over $700,000 for the last few years, rising steadily but slowly) until they reach arbitra...1733Tue, 19 Dec 2023 03:54:12 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/corbin-burnes-sinker-movement-extension-command/For all the consternation around Burnes pounding the zone with his cutter and giving up too much hard contact, the fact is that he has remained overpowering--at least against left-handed batters, who get stumped by that cutter. Lefty hitters had a .263 wOBA against Burnes in 2020, a .248 in 2021...1731Mon, 18 Dec 2023 12:51:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/projecting-the-brewers-2024-opening-day-roster-v-10-r1729/Obviously, there will still be significant changes to the Brewers roster between now and late March. We don't yet know whether Matt Arnold and his staff will elect to trade Corbin Burnes or Willy Adames, and either move could beget a huge cascade of other changes. For the moment, though, let's a...1729Sun, 17 Dec 2023 13:10:14 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/could-brewers-be-loading-up-bullpen-only-to-trade-devin-williams-r1727/On its surface, trading for right-handed reliever Taylor Clarke Thursday seems like an innocuous move by Brewers head honcho Matt Arnold. It might still turn out that way. As relief options pile up, though, the deal has stirred up a little speculation about the future of Devin Williams with the...1727Fri, 15 Dec 2023 12:44:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/trade-brewers-acquire-pitcher-taylor-clarke-from-the-royals-r1725/In a move not dissimilar to the small ones that brought Oliver Dunn and Jake Bauers to the organization earlier this offseason, Matt Arnold has swapped two more fringe prospects to Kansas City for right-handed hurler Taylor Clarke.

After signing Shohei Ohtani to a 10-year deal worth $700 million (er, or something), the NL West's merciless hegemons are looking to add some help in the starting rotation. Per Ken Rosenthal from The Athletic, the team has been discussing a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays, i...1724Thu, 14 Dec 2023 16:59:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/trade-candidates-sal-frelick-garrett-mitchell-eloy-jimenez-andrew-vaughn-isaac-paredes-ty-france/A little over a year ago, the Milwaukee Brewers pulled off a true heist, acquiring All-Star catcher William Contreras from the Atlanta Braves as part of a bigger deal wherein the Braves received Sean Murphy from the Oakland Athletics.
