It seemed like ages ago that the Brewers made a significant addition. The last player added to the roster was Bryan Hudson, in a trade...1805Thu, 25 Jan 2024 12:38:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/rhys-hoskins-free-agent-deal-lineup-contract-numbers-lefties/It's easy to point to the power Rhys Hoskins has demonstrated, both in the regular season and in the playoffs, and say that he fits with the Brewers. He does. That right-handed thump is, in broad strokes, plenty of justification for the two-year, $34-million deal to which the team signed Hoskins...1803Wed, 24 Jan 2024 12:52:19 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-sign-rhys-hoskins-to-two-year-34-million-deal-add-thunder-r1802/Former Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins has signed a two-year deal with the Brewers, worth $34 million. Jeff Passan dropped the late-night bomb. This is the kind of deal for which Tim Muma pleaded right here, Tuesday morning. It's a major boost for an offense that was short on po...1802Wed, 24 Jan 2024 04:03:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-top-20-milwaukee-brewers-player-assets-of-2024-part-2-11-15-r1800/ For a more through explanation on these rankings and how they are developed, check out Sunday's Part 1 introduction post. The short version: Which players currently in the Brewers organization are most crucial toward developing a championship-caliber team?

Plugging a career 125 OPS+ hitter into a lineup is a no-brainer for almost any team, and this one has averaged an .822 OPS with 28 home runs in his last two full seasons. That would have ra...1801Tue, 23 Jan 2024 12:16:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/future-catcher-william-contreras-jeferson-quero-wes-clarke/William Contreras got a lot of honors in 2023, but those who follow the farm system are no doubt aware of Jeferson Quero, who will be 21 years old during the 2024 season. Quero, second only to Jackson Chourio on the MLB Pipeline and Brewer Fanatic top Brewers prospects lists, could be in Milwauk...1798Mon, 22 Jan 2024 16:02:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/oliver-dunn-scouting-report-minor-league-data-brice-turang/When the Brewers traded for Oliver Dunn in mid-November, it felt somewhat like a hedge against the possibility of a Willy Adames trade. Back then, when a more active offseason league-wide was expected and so many things seemed possible, Dunn looked like a clever use of a 40-man roster spot. He's...1799Mon, 22 Jan 2024 12:18:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/erceg-still-a-big-league-prospect%E2%80%94as-a-pitcher-r1795/Lucas Erceg stood on the mound at Minute Maid Park on May 19, 2023, during his big-league debut. As he looked around, he saw his wife Emma and a couple of friends in the stands. He worked one inning and although it wasn’t perfect, it was perfect to him. “Being drafted as a position player, it di...1795Sun, 21 Jan 2024 17:17:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-trade-matt-chapman-ty-france-christian-yelich/Six years ago, the Brewers traded for Christian Yelich and signed Lorenzo Cain; not in the same month or week, but on the same day. It was a momentous twin assault on the division, and it worked. Let's take one more crack at doing it again. You can read either of the two previous pieces musing o...1792Sat, 20 Jan 2024 14:16:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/2024-milwaukee-brewers-assets-16to20-wilken-lara-mitchell-miley-turang/One of my favorite baseball-writing series at Twins Daily that I have enjoyed the last half-dozen years is Nick Nelson’s annual Top 20 Minnesota Twins Player Assets of the Year.

Then I proposed one avenue by which they co...1791Fri, 19 Jan 2024 14:12:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/free-agency-christian-yelich-trade-lorenzo-cain-luis-arraez-rhys-hoskins-rumors-and-ideas/Let’s look back at one of the greatest days of Brewers franchise history: January 25, 2018. After a 2017 season wherein they ended one game shy of the second Wild Card spot, the Brewers looked ready to compete with their young crop of players.
