Although Ortiz appeared in a career-high 149 games last season, he was removed for a pinch-hitter 34 times by manager Pat Murphy. Right now, Andruw Monasterio is the main backup, while Brice Turang a...4001Sun, 07 Dec 2025 17:11:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/despite-a-strong-rookie-season-isaac-collins-is-a-question-mark-in-brewers-outfield-r3998/For most of this season, Isaac Collins was a bona fide contender for National League Rookie of the Year. Through August, the 28-year-old hit .274/.371/.425 (126 wRC+) and tied Drake Baldwin for the most fWAR (2.5) among NL rookies. Yet, by the time October rolled around, Collins had been ef...3998Sun, 07 Dec 2025 12:40:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/three-free-agent-catchers-the-brewers-should-target-in-free-agency-r3994/William Contreras is back for his fourth year as the ironman behind the plate for the Brewers. His hitting fell off somewhat last season, as evidenced by a decline of all three slash numbers and a drop in home runs from 23 to 17. True, he played through some nagging hand injuries, but who out th...3994Sat, 06 Dec 2025 12:56:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/why-the-brewers-are-the-best-fit-for-a-byron-buxton-trade-r3997/The Minnesota Twins are still in sell mode, after their fire sale at the 2025 trade deadline. One of their two top starters, Pablo López and Joe Ryan, could be moved to alleviate their payroll pinch, even after the team reduced spending by roughly $30 million from 2023 to 2024 and by another few...3997Fri, 05 Dec 2025 19:03:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-most-impactful-pitching-advancement-of-this-decade-understanding-seam-shifted-wake-r3992/Seam-shifted wake has been a hot topic for baseball nerds over the last few years. Thanks to rapid advancements in the quality of pitch-tracking information, we can now quantify this movement, in addition to the spin-related movement of a pitch. These two types of movement are also known as Magn...3992Fri, 05 Dec 2025 12:57:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/why-milwaukee-brewers-should-trade-for-boston-red-sox-star-jarren-duran-r3989/The 2025 Brewers ended the season with the majority of their roster locked down for 2026, and coming off a season with the most wins in baseball, that is a good thing. However, it does make it harder to identify obvious positions to upgrade. With William Contreras locked in at catcher; the Andre...3989Thu, 04 Dec 2025 16:20:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/is-2026-a-make-or-break-season-for-brewers-dl-hall-r3990/Of the 36 players selected in the first round of the 2017 MLB Draft, 30 of them have played in the big leagues. Some have done well: Hunter Greene, MacKenzie Gore, Trevor Rogers, and Drew Rasmussen have all appeared in an All-Star Game. Others haven’t done so well. DL Hall is somewhere in the mi...3990Thu, 04 Dec 2025 15:12:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/could-zach-mckinstry-be-a-perfect-fit-for-milwaukee-brewers-r3980/Brewer Fanatic recently examined Milwaukee's positional depth at third base and shortstop. Readers can safely conclude that the current infield reserves are insufficient for a playoff-caliber roster in 2026. One more capable veteran could help prevent the offense from fading in October. One...3980Wed, 03 Dec 2025 13:30:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/is-2026-a-make-or-break-season-for-brewers-garrett-mitchell-r3988/Remember Garrett Mitchell? That question sounds glib, and almost preposterous. Seriously, though: it's not crazy to ask whether even intense Brewers fans think about Mitchell, these days. He was selected as the 20th overall pick by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2020 MLB Draft, out of UCLA....3988Wed, 03 Dec 2025 00:07:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/trade-rumors-brewers-ketel-marte-diamondbacks-cooper-pratt/Ketel Marte has been the best second baseman in baseball over the last two seasons, producing 6.8 bWAR in 2024 and 4.4 bWAR (in a reduced workload) in 2025. He slugged 28 home runs in just 480 at-bats, and overall, he was one of the most potent bats in baseball. He was a slightly above-average d...3987Tue, 02 Dec 2025 15:41:45 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/2026-milwaukee-brewers-opening-day-roster-v-10-r3985/Even though Opening Day is 114 days away, Milwaukee Brewers fans cogitate, brainstorm, contemplate, imagine, envision, ponder, and ruminate over how the team can get better, or what next season is going to look like. Many of them think about the Brewers 24/7/365, and an additional day during Lea...3985Tue, 02 Dec 2025 12:58:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/5-good-suitors-if-brewers-trade-freddy-peralta-r3986/It didn't take long for smoke signals about payroll pressure to emerge from the Brewers' camp this offseason. Those concerns are probably overblown, but they reflect a truth about winning in Milwaukee that doesn't apply to many other teams. It's possible that the same constraints that have compe...3986Tue, 02 Dec 2025 00:04:01 +0000
