The date of the ceremony is still to be determined. Axford spent parts of six seasons with the Brewers. His best came in 2011, when he set the tea...3010Wed, 29 Jan 2025 00:09:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/a-contract-structure-that-could-bring-free-agent-jack-flaherty-to-brewers-r3008/The deal Jack Flaherty hoped he might find in free agency. There were concerns about his back at the trade deadline, nixing a trade to the Yankees, and some teams still seem to harbor those worries. Despite whatever lingering trouble there might be with that back, though, he did take the ball 28...3008Tue, 28 Jan 2025 16:14:40 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/5-intriguing-non-roster-invitees-to-milwaukee-brewers-2025-spring-training-camp-r3005/One of the biggest NRIs to have an impact on the Brewers was Rob Deer. He came over from the Giants in an unnoticed transaction before the 1986 season, but made the team and hit 33 homers with 86 RBIs, becoming a heart-of-the-order threat for the Brewers for several years in the late 1980s and e...3005Tue, 28 Jan 2025 12:56:37 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/remembering-bob-uecker-and-experiencing-him-from-a-distance-r3003/I never really got to hear Uecker call games until the mid-2000s, when MLB GameDay audio became available. I’d heard him in some commercials, and knew he’d been acting some, but he seemed cool. Once I was able to listen to GameDay audio, it was a revelation.

It’s an embarrassment of riches in their rotation and their bullpen now, to add to an already incredible, Wor...3006Mon, 27 Jan 2025 14:07:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/should-the-brewers-turn-to-justin-turner-to-resuscitate-their-offseason-r3001/Age is interpreted a little differently in the world of sports. Since the lifetime of a player’s career is relatively short, the age of 30 serves as a common threshold for considering a player old—archaic, even anachronistic, one might say. Chris Paul, a point guard who is currently 39 years old...3001Mon, 27 Jan 2025 12:23:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/lets-road-trip-brewers-2025-trip-5-pirate-hunting-r2987/Pittsburgh Pirates – May 22-25 PNC Park - Capacity 38,747 2024 Attendance: 1,720,361 (Averaged 21,239 - ranked 14th out of 15 NL teams, 25th overall MLB) In 2024, the Brewers took a road trip to Pittsburgh in April and September, and they came away with a four-game split and a th...2987Sun, 26 Jan 2025 16:14:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/new-arsenal-metrics-highlight-how-the-2024-brewers-succeeded-by-maximizing-deception-r3002/Last week, Baseball Prospectus unveiled its latest line of pitch arsenal metrics. Unlike most models developed in recent years, which attempt to boil the various attributes of a pitch into a single stuff-based rating, these measurements try to quantify deception and the interplay between pitch t...3002Sun, 26 Jan 2025 12:54:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/lets-road-trip-brewers-2025-trip-4-from-tampas-new-digs-to-the-guardians-lair-r2986/Tampa Bay Rays - May 9-11 George M.
