There are questions about how much they could pitch, but the bullpen’s unpredictability comes with its risks. However, Milwaukee may find an answe...2957Sat, 11 Jan 2025 17:14:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/why-brewers-are-heading-for-an-arbitration-hearing-with-william-contreras-and-why-theyll-win-r2956/Arbitration is a dreaded topic in all baseball circles. Hearings are unpleasant. Players, coaches, and executives don’t like talking about them, and reporters and writers don’t enjoy covering them. Unfortunately, those discussions will again be part of the Brewers' news cycle leading into s...2956Fri, 10 Jan 2025 12:28:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/sal-frelicks-defensive-brilliance-and-the-brewers-looming-dilemma-r2952/The temptation, of course, is to leave well enough alone. When you have a defender as adept as Sal Frelick has proved to be over the course of his young career, you don't mess with it. You leave the guy at the spot, and you let the rest of the roster and its problems resolve themselves as they w...2952Thu, 09 Jan 2025 16:02:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-brewers-are-getting-more-cash-for-2025-than-you-might-think-r2948/Excuse me while I get slightly nerdy to begin with (I do love me some numbers). The current competitive-balance tax limit penalized teams who spent over $237 million on player salaries and benefits in 2024, using various tax rates on any amounts spent beyond that and the higher thresholds....2948Thu, 09 Jan 2025 12:21:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/could-the-milwaukee-brewers-trade-for-bo-bichette-r2951/The Brewers need something on their infield: A little stardust, some razzle-dazzle to add some actual punch to a lineup that operates more on the line of pinpricks. Meanwhile, across the border, the Blue Jays are trying to keep their core and bolster it with star talent via free agency, but with...2951Thu, 09 Jan 2025 00:08:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/william-contreras-is-already-baseballs-best-offensive-catcher-but-hes-still-leaving-production-on-the-table-r2950/Since the Brewers acquired him two offseasons ago, William Contreras has authored a compelling case as one of baseball’s top catchers, if not the best. Since the start of the 2023 season, the 27-year-old’s 128 wRC+ leads all qualified backstops. He’s also been a workhorse, catching the fifth-mos...2950Wed, 08 Jan 2025 15:48:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/3-quick-takeaways-from-the-milwaukee-brewers-2025-zips-projections-r2943/The Brewers Roster is Already Well Placed to Compete for the NL Central in 2025 While the Brewers' offense isn’t flush with star talent, it’s well-balanced. I’d argue that has an outsized impact in a competitive division, as they can absorb any lost production from various positions through in...2943Wed, 08 Jan 2025 12:45:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/which-pitchers-could-brewers-target-to-diversify-their-team-wide-pitch-mix-r2949/No team in baseball leans more heavily on heaters than the Milwaukee Brewers. That, at least, has been the state of things over the last few seasons. In 2024, no team threw four-seamers, sinkers or cutters as a higher percentage of their total pitches than the Brewers. We documented this phenome...2949Tue, 07 Jan 2025 19:23:20 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-can-free-agent-wade-miley-become-a-brewer-one-more-time-r2939/Wade Miley has been a big-league journeyman. Over the 14 years he has spent in the majors, he has been on eight different teams. His longest stint was with the Diamondbacks, who picked him in the first round of the 2008 MLB Draft, but since leaving Arizona in 2015, he’s never managed to set down...2939Tue, 07 Jan 2025 16:35:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/welcome-back-jake-bauers-brewers-re-sign-first-baseman-to-minor-league-deal-r2945/The Brewers announced the return of near-playoff hero Jake Bauers Monday afternoon, on a minor-league deal that includes an invitation to big-league spring training. Though they outrighted him in November and he elected free agency, Bauers will now come back with a chance to win the very same ro...2945Mon, 06 Jan 2025 23:01:52 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/can-the-brewers-replicate-their-yasmani-grandal-deal-at-a-different-position-of-need-r2931/January has typically been the time of the year when the Brewers make their biggest moves. Capitalizing on players feeling isolated and bereft of big offers, they've struck some strong one-year contracts during the David Stearns and Matt Arnold regimes. Even those that fell short have been no fa...2931Mon, 06 Jan 2025 17:12:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/projecting-the-2025-milwaukee-brewers-opening-day-roster-version-10-r2940/2940Mon, 06 Jan 2025 14:11:01 +0000
