The Brewers on Wednesday acquired right-handed starter Lance McCullers Jr. from the Houston Astros, according to MLB.com's Bria...4778Wed, 15 Jul 2026 15:13:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/luis-lara-is-going-to-hit-for-more-power-than-sal-frelick-r4774/The temptation is to assume that Luis Lara's whole game is speed and contact and defense. The temptation is to think that he'll have to survive on singles and create his value mostly via run prevention. You expect this kind of player to spend most of their time on the bench.

Many of those asides have nothing to do with baseball, but sometimes, when Murphy is dissatisfied with the pregame questions he's received from the press, he'll keep the base...4770Tue, 14 Jul 2026 11:46:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/somehow-the-brewers-need-starting-pitching-help-at-the-trade-deadline-r4769/It's going to be ok. Probably. Jacob Misiorowski has just enough fatigue that it made sense to skip his final start before the All-Star break and to hold him out of the game Tuesday night. Kyle Harrison has just enough irritation in his elbow to make it worth shutting him down here in the middle...4769Mon, 13 Jul 2026 23:09:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/grant-andersons-stuff-has-been-effective-in-a-different-way-in-2026-r4752/At first glance, it doesn’t look like much has changed for Grant Anderson. After emerging as a versatile and durable middle reliever in his first season with the Brewers last year, the right-hander has resumed that role in 2026 with the same results.

Contreras has flashed prodigious power over the years, hitting baseballs at elite exit velocities.

He had two hits, including a double, pushing his OPS for 2026 to .831. Though he still has just eight home runs, t...4746Thu, 09 Jul 2026 15:50:55 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/cooper-pratts-bat-speed-hello-r4744/It's neither a secret nor a coincidence that, by the standards of big-league ballclubs, the Brewers are run rather like a college team. After all, their manager is one of just two active ones whose background is mostly as a college coach. Pat Murphy has acknowledged that, though he doesn't consc...4744Wed, 08 Jul 2026 22:11:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/whats-luis-laras-path-to-becoming-an-everyday-starter-r4740/Luis Lara made his big-league debut Tuesday in St. Louis.
