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?

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.

As well as he's adjusted at each level with which he's been challenged, and as prodigious as his talent is, the man will no...1692Wed, 29 Nov 2023 13:04:46 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/report-jackson-chourio-brewers-discussing-record-setting-extension-r1690/According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Jackson Chourio and the Brewers are in discussions about a contract extension that would run longer and pay Chourio more money than any player has ever received before making their big-league debut.
