A second thought might be hiring from within the organization, to lend a sense of continuity. The third option, though, is best for this grou...1647Fri, 10 Nov 2023 13:45:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/adrian-houser-in-2024-pick-up-trade-or-release-r1644/Brewers pitcher Adrian Houser had a good 2023 season, pitching 111 ⅔ innings with a 4.12 ERA. Going into his final year of arbitration, Houser is estimated to receive a value of $5.6 million. Should the Brewers consider that a fair price for his services? If they traded him, what kind of haul co...1644Fri, 10 Nov 2023 13:16:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-offseason-handbook-key-option-arbitration-decisions-r1643/Despite no baseball being played, the offseason is a hectic time for any front office. While it’s fun to think about what fresh faces will join from free agency, it’s equally important to consider how options and arbitration negotiations will go. This is an excerpt from the 2024 Brewer Fanat...1643Thu, 09 Nov 2023 13:19:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/do-the-brewers-need-to-accept-a-step-back-in-2024-r1642/Between developing teams in their division that look ready to strike, a new manager at the helm of the organization, and the specter of more big losses of star players this offseason, should the Brewers rest in 2024, or still stick to their “bites of the apple” approach? The very young offse...1642Wed, 08 Nov 2023 12:12:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/craig-counsell-leaves-brewers-why-did-he-go-and-who-should-replace-him-r1641/The most pressing question, in the wake of the huge gut punch that was the news of Craig Counsell departing the Brewers in favor of the division-rival Cubs, is who will replace him on the top step of the Crew's dugout. Still, we also have to wonder: why did it come to this? Notably, the Cubs...1641Tue, 07 Nov 2023 13:20:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/what-exactly-have-the-brewers-lost-in-craig-counsell-a-breakdown-r1640/Craig Counsell’s decision to leave the Milwaukee Brewers for their arch nemeses, the Chicago Cubs, had shockwaves rippling through the neighboring states. How valuable was he to the Brewers, and can they replace him--or even upgrade at the position? Let's break down the nitty-gritty of what this...1640Tue, 07 Nov 2023 12:10:59 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/oh-my-goodness-craig-counsell-is-leaving-and-its-for-the-cubs-r1639/For a few minutes Monday afternoon, Brewers fans could exhale with a feeling of relief. The Mets hired Carlos Mendoza, not Craig Counsell, to manage the team in 2024. Then, the other shoe fell. Counsell is gone, to take the helm of (of all teams) the rival Chicago Cubs.  This is an Earth-sha...1639Mon, 06 Nov 2023 18:48:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/wade-mileys-departure-opens-up-many-possibilities-in-brewers-rotation-r1636/In something of a surprise, Wade Miley declined his side of a mutual option for 2024 this weekend. Miley joins a crowded group of free-agent starting pitchers, and the Brewers now have some money to spend and another slot in their rotation to fill. Well into his late 30s and after a second s...1636Mon, 06 Nov 2023 15:06:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/what-the-mark-canha-trade-tells-us-about-the-brewers-offseason-plans-r1634/Saturday saw the first significant news of the MLB offseason for the Milwaukee Brewers, as they traded away a key piece of their division championship team and began charting a course for the winter ahead.

Having clearly decided not to bring back Mark Canha for $11.5 million, the Brewers decided instead to bolster an already s...1633Sat, 04 Nov 2023 18:05:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-bring-back-colin-rea-stabilizing-back-end-of-2024-starting-rotation-r1629/After very briefly becoming an official free agent, Colin Rea is officially returning to the Brewers in 2024. This might seem like a minor move, but it's an important one for the club. The deal that will bring Colin Rea back for another season includes $3.5 million in salary, $500,000 in per...1629Fri, 03 Nov 2023 04:47:00 +0000
