And yet, each night, it feels like a toss-up if the of...418Wed, 03 Aug 2022 07:16:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-acquire-trevor-rosenthal-from-giants-r416/  Just a handful of days ago, in late July, the San Francisco Giants signed Trevor Rosenthal to a one-year deal worth $4.5 million.

I understand that the identity of the closer is outsized relative to their actual value.

A former 3rd round pick by the Guardians in 2015, Mathias has played 50 games at Triple-A Nashville this season.

While the 2018-2019 Yelich might be a blip in the past, the new and improved second half Yelich isn’t a bad consolation prize.  The Brewers are 7-2...406Sun, 31 Jul 2022 23:12:08 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/trade-deadline-memories-losing-stormin-gorman-r402/  The year 1983 was turning out to be a solid year for eight-year-old Sean.
