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 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/projected-lineup-christian-yelich-batting-order-batted-ball-data/Look around the internet a bit, and you’ll find some projections of the Brewers lineup that have Christian Yelich batting first, and others that have him batting third. Most sources agree that William Contreras will resume his frequent 2023 duties as the No. 2 hitter, and that Rhys Hoskins has c...1852Tue, 13 Feb 2024 14:48:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/william-contreras-trade-potential-return-red-sox-marlins/This is a very tough question for the Crew, and there are strong arguments on both sides. For 2024, William Contreras still comes cheap in his last pre-arbitration year, costing less than $1 million and being the third-best catcher in MLB, according to Just Baseball. Even with the Brewers signin...1848Mon, 12 Feb 2024 19:34:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/is-bryse-wilsons-2023-success-sustainable-r1849/Bryse Wilson wasn’t supposed to be anything close to an elite bullpen arm. Originally being groomed as a starter, he pitched to a gruesome 5.52 ERA and 1.42 WHIP over 115 ⅔ innings with the Pirates in 2022. After he was designated for assignment and traded to the Brewers in exchange for cash con...1849Mon, 12 Feb 2024 12:25:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-offseason-gary-sanchez-signing-willy-adames-trade/Player acquisition is about winning each plate appearance, not about filling positions.   November through February is the initial asset development phase for the 2024 Brewers team. Over this period, the goal is to compile the assets necessary to maximize production through approximately 6,100...1846Sun, 11 Feb 2024 13:14:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/destination-the-show-episode-23-ben-badler-interview-r1843/In episode 23 of Destination: The Show, Jeremy and JD are joined by Ben Badler of Baseball America.

Thus, we can use that piece as a reference point, to see just how far the Brewers have come since. Lineup and Batting Order Christian Yelich - LF (L) William...1845Fri, 09 Feb 2024 12:14:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/if-brewers-want-to-trade-another-big-name-better-devin-williams-than-willy-adames-r1842/When the Brewers acquired infielder Joey Ortiz as part of the Corbin Burnes trade, fans and experts surmised that a Willy Adames trade was imminent, or at least increasingly likely. With Adames's team control ending after the 2024 season, the numerous clubs looking for a reliable shortstop, and...1842Thu, 08 Feb 2024 16:13:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/devin-williams-trade-candidate-yankees-proposal-hampton-lalane/With the retooling of the team following the acquisition of talented shortstop Joey Ortiz and electric arm DL Hall, there are rumors swirling around Willy Adames and also on Devin Williams. The Brewers have a maelstrom of variety and talent in their bullpen that allows them this option to re-too...1839Thu, 08 Feb 2024 12:29:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-sign-catcher-and-designated-hitter-gary-s%C3%A1nchez-r1841/Ok, in reality, there's the outline of a good fit here. Jon Heyman had the news of the Brewers landing Gary Sánchez, though the terms of that deal aren't yet known. It's surprising primarily in that, after losing Victor Caratini to Houston via free agency earlier this winter, the Brewers ha...1841Wed, 07 Feb 2024 23:34:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brice-turang-trade-candidate-3-ideas-cabrera-rengifo-rooker/There’s an argument out there that the Brewers are likely to trade Willy Adames at some point this year. However, does it make more sense to trade away Brice Turang? Yesterday, I argued it does, because it's Turang who might fetch more and Adames who will help the 2024 team more. Today we will b...1836Wed, 07 Feb 2024 16:09:01 +0000
