It didn’t go well, with the Brewers missing the playoffs by one game. No such major deal happened this offseason. But the five smaller deals may matter a...1346Sun, 06 Aug 2023 19:47:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-3-pirates-2-blake-bids-adieu-r1358/Box Score Starting Pitcher: Corbin Burnes - 6.0 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 4 BB, 5 K, 107 pitches, 66 strikes (61.7%) Home Runs: None Top 3 WPA: Blake Perkins (.473), Sal Frelick (.246), Devin Williams (.138)  Bottom 3 WPA: Andruw Monasterio (-.225), William Contreras (-.156), Christian Yelich (-.119) ...1358Sun, 06 Aug 2023 12:51:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/why-willy-adamess-slump-might-be-finally-ending-r1355/Willy Adames is hitting .205/.290/.386 in 2023, which would be okay for a shortstop with his defensive range and arm.

Just ask the Atlanta Braves about the relationship between having the best record in baseball and 33 more dingers than the club with the second-most taters.
