His speed and power are dazzling, and he could be an impactful defender at the most important position on the infield. Since Ketel Marte wa...1628Thu, 02 Nov 2023 11:13:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/does-bringing-back-carlos-santana-make-sense-for-the-brewers-r1625/It wasn't Carlos Santana's glove that made him most attractive to the Brewers at last year's trade deadline. The team needed an infusion of power that didn't come with a nullifying sub-.300 on-base percentage. That's a specialty for Santana, who has spent a decade and a half drifting around MLB,...1625Wed, 01 Nov 2023 12:10:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/should-the-brewers-pursue-a-high-end-starting-pitcher-in-free-agency-this-winter-r1621/With Brandon Woodruff on the shelf for 2024, there is a glaring hole in the formerly formidable Brewers starting rotation. Corbin Burnes and Freddy Peralta were stout on the bump in 2023, and they form the spine of a fine starting corps for next season. Take out Woodruff, though, and a daunting...1621Mon, 30 Oct 2023 13:07:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/who-should-emerge-as-the-brewers-top-outfielders-in-2024-r1619/Obviously, in a perfect world, Jackson Chourio would simply hammer big-league pitching next spring training. Were he relentlessly competent and dominant enough, he could force his way onto the Opening Day roster as the center fielder, leaving the team with clarity at two of the three outfield po...1619Sat, 28 Oct 2023 11:12:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/matching-up-with-the-orioles-in-a-trade-for-a-big-bat-r1617/There are several ways the Brewers and the Baltimore Orioles can fit together well on a trade this winter. Coming off a 100-win season that only led to a disappointing Division Series ouster, the O's will be looking for ways to further shore up their roster for the long slog back through the AL...1617Fri, 27 Oct 2023 11:20:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-craig-counsell-situation-is-coming-to-a-head-r1615/It's no surprise to anyone that the Mets, having so recently officially hired David Stearns to run their baseball operations department, are interested in Craig Counsell. According to reporting by The Athletic, the Cleveland Guardians are at least feeling out Counsell, as well. It sounds odd to...1615Thu, 26 Oct 2023 12:45:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/willy-adamess-fastball-folly-and-the-future-of-the-brewers-lineup-r1612/It was an uneven season for Willy Adames. As much as his consistent defense at shortstop meant to the team, his streaks and slumps at bat added to the Brewers' difficulty in generating runs. Adames hit .217/.310/.407 on the year, which constituted a slight uptick in OBP from 2022 but a major pow...1612Wed, 25 Oct 2023 11:06:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-winter-decisions-wade-miley-mutual-contract-option-edition-r1607/If both the Brewers and Wade Miley exercise their contract option for 2024, he will earn $10 million. If either party declines, Miley will receive $1 million and become a free agent. Factor 1: Affordability vs. Performance Miley will be 37 years old next month. When healthy, he's pitched...1607Tue, 24 Oct 2023 11:17:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/a-short-term-extension-for-brandon-woodruff-could-be-a-win-win-r1608/Brandon Woodruff will be arbitration-eligible in 2024 and a free agent at the end of that season. Assuming he’ll miss most of 2024, he won’t really have much firepower to use in fetching a higher salary in the arbitration process. Furthermore, he’ll hit the free-agent market with few (if any) in...1608Mon, 23 Oct 2023 12:13:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-sweet-spot-for-pulling-a-starter-in-2023-and-how-the-brewers-found-it-r1609/  Most of the time, a starter makes it at least twice through the batting order, even if they're struggling. Except in blowup starts or cases in which managers intend a strategy like the opener or a bullpen game, teams need their starter to get into the third trip through the opposing lineu...1609Sun, 22 Oct 2023 11:39:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-winter-decisions-mark-canha-contract-option-edition-r1604/If the Brewers exercise their 2024 option on Mark Canha, they'll owe him $11.5 million. If they decline it, he'd still cost $2 million as a buyout, so effectively, this is a $9-million decision. Factor 1: Affordability vs. Performance Canha produced 1 WAR over 50 games with Milwaukee....1604Fri, 20 Oct 2023 11:09:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/destination-the-show-episode-9-r1602/In our first ever mailbag episode, Jeremy, JD and Theo discuss Kim Ng stepping down as the GM of the Marlins and talk through Twins, Brewers and Cubs prospects in the AFL.
