He'd just torn through the top two levels of the minor leagues in 2023, hitting .284/.417/.513 with 18 home runs and 55 stolen bases. He'd shown superb plate discipline even after a second-half promotion from Do...3091Tue, 25 Feb 2025 16:23:14 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/best-and-worst-case-scenarios-for-2025-brewers-first-base-r3086/The Roster Situation The primary first baseman will likely be Rhys Hoskins, who was the team’s top first baseman in 2024 with 94 games at the position. A hamstring injury cost him some time, and he spent 37 games at designated hitter. The other player who is labeled as a first baseman on th...3086Tue, 25 Feb 2025 14:24:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/why-vinny-capra-could-crack-brewers-opening-day-roster-r3090/You would not be alone if you forgot Vinny Capra was in the organization until his headline-capturing spring training debut over the weekend. The 28-year-old has just five career big-league hits, in 37 plate appearances. He received only a three-game cup of coffee with the Brewers last year, and...3090Tue, 25 Feb 2025 12:46:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/statcast-standouts-from-brewers-second-spring-training-game-r3089/Statcast ballparks bring a lot of entertainment for baseball nerds, especially in spring training. It gives an idea of who's feeling hot, who's not—and even more intriguingly, it lets us see metrics on minor-league pitchers that we may not get for the rest of the season. This could bring all kin...3089Mon, 24 Feb 2025 17:24:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/best-and-worst-case-scenarios-for-the-brewers-at-catcher-in-2025-r3084/The Roster Situation Catcher is a position where the Brewers look loaded on paper with their 40-man roster. It is also arguably the most straightforward of the position player group. William Contreras was an All-Star and one of three Brewers to be in the top-25 of 2024 National League...3084Mon, 24 Feb 2025 14:21:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-2025-opening-day-roster-projection-v-30-injuries-shaking-things-up-r3088/The loss of Blake Perkins for (at least) the first month of the season was a major blow for the Brewers. They need to play superb defense all over the diamond to defend their two straight NL Central titles, and Perkins has been a linchpin of that defense. They signed two players to minor-league...3088Mon, 24 Feb 2025 12:37:32 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/make-or-break-players-on-the-2025-brewers-nestor-cortes-r3083/What Went Wrong in 2024? All things considered, 2024 wasn’t too bad for Nestor Cortes. 2023 was a year marred by a left rotator cuff strain that limited him to just 63 ⅓ innings over 12 starts. He pitched well throughout last season, even getting the Opening Day nod (since Gerrit Cole was side...3083Sun, 23 Feb 2025 16:14:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/mark-canha-is-back-with-the-brewers-offering-a-safety-net-at-multiple-positions-r3085/An old friend is joining Brewers camp. Jon Heyman reported Saturday evening that the club agreed to a minor-league deal with Mark Canha that includes an invite to big-league spring training. Milwaukee first acquired Canha via trade from the New York Mets in 2023, when they needed compe...3085Sun, 23 Feb 2025 12:54:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/what-role-will-manuel-margot-play-in-milwaukee-r3082/Manuel Margot has been in the big leagues for a while. He spent his best years with the Padres and Rays, but most recently, he had quite a poor year with the Twins, slashing .238/.289/.337 over 343 plate appearances. He also had a peculiar tendency to be regularly called on to pinch hit despite...3082Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:23:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/with-increased-bat-speed-is-an-andruw-monasterio-bounceback-in-order-r3078/Andruw Monasterio was a pleasant surprise for the Brewers two years ago. The versatile infielder carved out a nearly three-month run as the regular third baseman, carrying a .780 OPS and 116 wRC+ into mid-August. While some of his favorable batted-ball luck faded down the stretch and saw him ced...3078Fri, 21 Feb 2025 12:16:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/nestor-cortes-and-the-two-strike-fastball-r3077/The mission statement of most modern pitchers (and the teams who employ them) is simple: Throw your best pitch most often, and most often, your best pitch is a breaking ball. Fastballs do not dominate big-league repertoires the way they used to. In fact, many pitchers don't even build their arse...3077Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:00:30 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/make-or-break-players-on-the-2025-milwaukee-brewers-rhys-hoskins-r3072/Last winter, the Brewers signed Rhys Hoskins to a two-year, $34-million deal with a mutual option for the 2026 season. WIth a career .242/.353/.492 slash line, Hoskins was expected to be a solid bat in the lineup while manning first base. While he did crack 26 home runs, he didn't play quite to...3072Thu, 20 Feb 2025 14:24:00 +0000
