He grew up in New Jersey, where he earned all-state honors. After attending Clemson University, he was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 8th round of the 1979 draft.  The right-handed hitting Bill Schroeder displayed good p...626Sat, 10 Dec 2022 13:05:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/free-agent-shortstops-raising-the-price-for-adames-and-brewers-r625/  Figuring out the best time to offer guaranteed contract extensions in MLB is like a financial game of chicken. Timing is paramount as free agents set the market for everyone else in the league. Thus, having four of the best shortstops available this offseason might price Willy Adame...625Fri, 09 Dec 2022 08:50:25 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/questioning-the-process-behind-the-brewers-offseason-trades-r624/  Before teams got to San Diego and the Winter Meetings, the Milwaukee Brewers swung two significant trades to shake up their lineup and payroll. Did they make the right moves, or will they regret sending their two best offensive players from 2022 packing?  Trading Kolten Wong and Hunt...624Fri, 09 Dec 2022 01:07:53 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-select-rhp-gus-varland-in-rule-5-draft-r623/As the Winter Meetings came toward a close in San Diego, the Rule 5 draft took place. A year ago, due to the lockout, there was no Rule 5 draft, so there were a lot of questions as to how this year's draft would go.  Ultimately, just 15 players were selected in the MLB portion of the Rule 5...623Wed, 07 Dec 2022 22:17:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brandon-drury-is-a-perfect-fit-for-the-brewers-r622/  There are many aspects to Brandon Drury's game that fit perfectly within the Milwaukee Brewers' philosophies. And without a rock-solid third baseman readily available for GM Matt Arnold on the free agent or trade markets, adding value in other ways makes sense. Drury isn't a star, and som...622Wed, 07 Dec 2022 16:08:15 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/should-brewers-be-concerned-about-jesse-winkers-character-r619/  From 2017-2021, Jesse Winker posted some terrific numbers with a .385 OBP, .504 SLG, and 129 OPS+. However, he averaged only 83 games played during that stretch, partly due to struggles against left-handed pitching and a handful of injuries. Winker played in 136 contests for the Sea...619Tue, 06 Dec 2022 16:00:03 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/should-the-brewers-invoke-the-spirit-of-bobby-bonilla-to-keep-corbin-burnes-r618/  This is nothing new, as CBS Sports notes. But it may be the answer the Brewers are looking for to keep Corbin Burnes in Milwaukee for an extended period. There is no doubt that Burnes is the best starting pitcher the Brewers have seen since Ben Sheets in his prime.

He went to school in Connecticut, and the Brewers won a bidding war for him after he posted a 19-1 record as a high school senior, signing him for the then-impressive figure of $115,000.  Nieves was immediately tabbed as a top prospec...616Mon, 05 Dec 2022 16:00:03 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-winter-meetings-preview-r617/Here we are in the first days of December, and the Brewers have been quite busy.

The Mariners had been well linked to Wong, making the trade of little surprise.
