It's assertive and unapologetic, and it's precisely how they need to operate for the rest of the offsea...1708Tue, 05 Dec 2023 13:29:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-finalize-re-signing-of-wade-miley-add-joe-ross-on-big-league-deal-r1707/According to Jesse Rogers of ESPN, Wade Miley and the Brewers ended up settling on another one-year contract with a mutual option for a second season. That was the structure of his 2023 deal, too, though this one is more lucrative than the last. Interestingly, Miley's guaranteed mon...1707Mon, 04 Dec 2023 19:54:16 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/rays-trade-candidate-isaac-paredes-is-a-perfect-fit-for-the-brewers-r1706/Throughout 2023, the persistent narrative around the Brewers offense was that they didn't hit for enough power. Nor was that some paranoid or pessimistic complaint. The team finished 28th in isolated power, 27th in the percentage of their plate appearances ending in home runs, and they had the t...1706Mon, 04 Dec 2023 18:41:08 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/why-tyler-black-might-solve-one-problem-but-raise-another-for-the-2024-brewers-r1704/It's easy to get excited about Tyler Black. He's a left-handed hitter with speed, plate discipline, and a good hit tool. His on-base percentage (just under .420) and stolen-base total (55) were each gaudy last year. He feels like a dynamic addition to the lineup, just waiting a pinch more season...1704Mon, 04 Dec 2023 13:15:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/wade-miley-brewers-reportedly-nearing-another-reunion-r1702/In his late-night Saturday notes piece, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic dropped in an interesting final item. It sounds like we should expect Wade Miley and the Brewers to get back together, again. Sunday morning, Jon Heyman confirmed that something is (ahem) brewing there.  Miley tur...1702Sun, 03 Dec 2023 15:44:43 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/no-reboot-should-the-brewers-run-it-back-for-2024-r1701/Last week, we considered rebooting the Brewers' major league roster by moving short-term assets, including Corbin Burnes, Willy Adames, Devin Williams, and Freddy Peralta. The idea was to inject the roster with some high-end talent. Such a move would likely have caused the Brewers to punt the 20...1701Sat, 02 Dec 2023 13:11:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/mlb-free-agency-garrett-cooper-dominic-smith-mike-ford/Carlos Santana has returned to free agency, and the Brewers non-tendered Rowdy Tellez last month. The only viable first baseman they have, for now, is Jake Bauers, whom they acquired from the Yankees just ahead of the non-tender deadline.

Despite not having a single at-bat in MLB, top prospect Jackson Chourio signed a massive eight-year extension with the Brewers with two club options at the end of it, according to Adam McCalvy. But now we are left with an obvious question...1699Thu, 30 Nov 2023 21:37:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/destination-the-show-episode-14-r1697/0:00 Intro 2:40 Will Jackson Chourio sign an extension?

Almost simultaneously, Jon Heyman swooped in with confirmation, and more details.

This deal could be a monumental trendsetter. Due to the risk of injury and uncertainty around performance against advanced pitching, the Brewers have a chance to secure a long-term contract...1694Thu, 30 Nov 2023 12:35:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/colin-rea-cutter-brewers-rotation/Now out of minor-league options and with a guaranteed contract worth $4.5 million, Colin Rea looks likely to be the 2024 equivalent of 2023 Wade Miley. Rea is likely to begin the season as the fifth starter in the rotation, though at the moment, he's fourth on the depth chart. After a season in...1695Wed, 29 Nov 2023 20:04:59 +0000
