Especially with a relatively lackluster free agent class and Ohtani wanting to move quickly through negoti...1718Mon, 11 Dec 2023 12:13:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/destination-the-show-episode-15-winter-meetings-draft-lottery-rule-5-draft-r1715/The boys are back to recap the slow Winter Meetings. There's a detailed breakdown of the Draft Lottery including winners and losers, revenue sharing comp picks, a summary of first day picks and bonus pools for the Brewers, Cubs, and Twins, and how MLB could make the draft lottery broadcast bette...1715Sun, 10 Dec 2023 13:11:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-jackson-chourio-contract-the-shohei-ohtani-contract-and-the-brokenness-of-the-system-r1717/It's hard not to draw some narrative connections between the contract on which Jackson Chourio and the Brewers agreed last weekend, and the one on which Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers agreed Saturday. Almost exactly a week after the smallest-market team in MLB signed a record contract for a playe...1717Sun, 10 Dec 2023 12:51:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-trade-target-eloy-jim%C3%A9nez-r1713/Even back in July, there were some reports that the Chicago White Sox would listen to trade offers on Eloy Jimenez, and that the Brewers were one team who had checked in on him. It doesn't sound like those talks went far during the summer, but the Sox are now under new management and headed for...1713Fri, 08 Dec 2023 13:00:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/what-the-juan-soto-eduardo-rodr%C3%ADguez-and-jeimer-candelario-deals-mean-for-the-brewers-r1712/There were three key moves Wednesday, as the Winter Meetings wound down in Nashville. First, and in a protracted way over the course of the entire day, the Yankees acquired Juan Soto from the Padres. It was a seven-player move, involving not only Soto but old friend Trent Grisham. Then, late in...1712Thu, 07 Dec 2023 13:08:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/robert-gasser-and-the-brewers-2024-rotation-plans-r1710/The key piece in the infamous 2022 Josh Hader trade, Robert Gasser has now fired 181 innings for Brewers affiliates over the last season and a half. He's made 30 starts as a member of the Nashville Sounds, with solid numbers. Yet, he hasn't cracked the big-league roster. The Brewers don't have t...1710Wed, 06 Dec 2023 15:12:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/what-to-expect-from-wade-miley-in-2024-r1709/Wade Miley is not your average pitcher. He has never possessed the 95-mph velocity common in today’s game, but he’s managed to build a solid 13-year major-league career on soft contact. When paired with the exceptional Brewers infield defense in 2023, he posted an ERA of 3.14 and a WHIP of 1.14...1709Wed, 06 Dec 2023 13:14:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/after-jackson-chourio-contract-brewers-need-the-same-mindset-for-other-winter-moves-r1708/While locking down Jackson Chourio for 10 years (eight guaranteed, plus two club options) is about more than short-term success, it's a high-risk, high-reward strategy the Brewers often avoid. 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 +0000
