The incumbent, Joey Ortiz, is the epitome of good-field, no-hit, to the point where Milwaukee may be better off moving him. Over the long term, talent like Jesus Made, Luis Pena, Juan Baez, Brady Ebel, and Filippo di Turi could also s...4056Fri, 09 Jan 2026 18:10:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/chad-patricks-new-breaking-ball-could-help-him-put-everything-together-r4069/He may not have received much love during baseball’s awards season, but Chad Patrick’s rookie season was among the most productive in baseball. The right-hander filled in admirably for an injury-ravaged Milwaukee rotation during the first half and posted a 3.53 ERA and 3.90 SIERA in 119 ⅔ inning...4069Fri, 09 Jan 2026 12:33:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-avoid-arbitration-with-five-players-william-contreras-remains-r4068/It's time for the Brewers to decide whether they can and should extend William Contreras, and over the next two months, that will be the biggest drama around the team. That became clearer Thursday, as the team agreed to deals with five players to avoid arbitration, leaving just one of their seve...4068Fri, 09 Jan 2026 00:10:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-best-of-26-the-top-milwaukee-brewers-players-who-have-worn-the-number-r4061/If you're a baseball fan, someone can mention a number in a random conversation and you instantly picture a player or two, possibly related to your favorite team. With the calendar flipping to 2026 a few days ago, I thought I would take a look at which players in Milwaukee Brewers history have w...4061Thu, 08 Jan 2026 17:30:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-could-brewers-best-spend-the-savings-if-they-trade-freddy-peralta-r4066/By no means do the Milwaukee Brewers need to trim their payroll for 2026. In fact, they could and should spend even more than they're currently slated to, and more than they're likely to spend before the offseason is over. If they decide to trade Freddy Peralta, it won't be to save the $8 millio...4066Wed, 07 Jan 2026 16:24:26 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/2026-milwaukee-brewers-opening-day-roster-projection-v-20-r4062/Even though Opening Day 2026 is 80 days away, with the flip of the calendar, the temptation to start sketching out what the Milwaukee Brewers will look like in late March has begun to build. Just over a month ago, we published the first version of our projection of the Brewers' Opening Day...4062Tue, 06 Jan 2026 19:24:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-announce-coaching-staff-changes-for-2026-r4063/The Brewers announced their coaching staff under Pat Murphy for the 2026 season on Monday morning, including significant shakeups from last year's group. Four existing coaches have assumed new roles, a few others have taken jobs elsewhere in the organization, and four have joined the big-league...4063Mon, 05 Jan 2026 21:32:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/demystifying-defensive-metrics-starring-joey-ortiz-r4050/Heading into last year’s trade deadline, I wrote an article about the areas in which I thought the Brewers needed to upgrade. One of the things I pointed out was that at the time, Milwaukee ranked near the bottom of MLB for OPS and Defensive Runs Saved from shortstop. I went on to write that bas...4050Mon, 05 Jan 2026 18:13:08 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/can-jackson-chourio-handle-center-field-for-2026-brewers-r4059/When Garrett Mitchell hit the injured list in late April while Blake Perkins continued recovering from a fractured shin, the Brewers handed Jackson Chourio the keys to center field. The results were mixed. Chourio had a positive Outs Above Average (2), but that net estimate came from some extrem...4059Mon, 05 Jan 2026 12:33:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/will-the-brewers-winter-ever-heat-up-r4060/In just over five weeks, pitchers and catchers will report, signaling the start of spring training. By then, organizations will begin to finalize their Opening Day rosters, and fans should have a pretty good idea as to how competitive their favorite team will be in the upcoming year.  For m...4060Sun, 04 Jan 2026 13:25:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/could-jazz-chisholm-charge-up-the-brewers-in-2026-r4055/The New York Post reports that the Yankees are among the teams looking to get in on the market for free-agent infielder Bo Bichette. For the Brewers, this could be a chance to clear a couple of logjams, and perhaps get a short-term power boost. In 2025, Jazz Chisholm Jr. split time between...4055Sat, 03 Jan 2026 18:17:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/why-the-brewers-should-not-trade-freddy-peralta-but-instead-sign-him-to-an-extension-r4045/Freddy Peralta's name has popped up quite a bit this offseason in trade rumors. With the price of starting pitching being what it is, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Milwaukee Brewers trade the right-hander who has started the last two Opening Days. But I am here to say the Brewers sho...4045Sat, 03 Jan 2026 15:17:02 +0000
