Obviously, their guiding objective will be to defend their back-to-back division titles, but they might have to drop their payroll by non-tendering inessential pieces and trading expensive pieces. The Brewers...2772Thu, 07 Nov 2024 17:08:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/are-the-royals-a-perfect-fit-with-brewers-for-a-starting-pitching-upgrade-r2774/No, the Brewers (who were a much better team than the Royals in 2024 and have a much, much stronger farm system than Kansas City does) do not face the same urgency or the same constraints in their decision-making as their American League counterparts. Still, there's an almost irresistible fit be...2774Thu, 07 Nov 2024 12:12:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-rockies-trade-rumors-ryan-mcmahon/With Willy Adames all but guaranteed to depart in free agency, the Brewers need a replacement on the left side of the infield. They can fill that need by moving Joey Ortiz to shortstop and acquiring a third baseman, or they can keep Ortiz at the hot corner and bring in a shortstop.

Hook has been with the Brewe...2761Sun, 03 Nov 2024 23:10:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/assessing-brewers-starting-rotation-after-colin-rea-is-placed-on-waivers-r2760/Well, this is an odd turn of events. This weekend, the Brewers had to make a decision on seven players who had 2025 options in their contracts. While some of them were pretty easy (like buying out the likes of Wade Miley and Gary Sánchez), almost no one was anticipating the Brewers placing Colin...2760Sun, 03 Nov 2024 14:10:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-clearing-house-colin-rea-put-on-waivers-owen-miller-traded-wade-miley-gary-sanchez-options-declined-r2759/The allure of any winter is seeing what new faces will wear Brewer blue on the next Opening Day. To do so, room has to be made for these new faces, often done through trades and declining and club or mutual options.  The biggest recent move made was to place Colin Rea on waivers. He had a $...2759Sat, 02 Nov 2024 20:08:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/can-the-brewers-successfully-replicate-their-2024-payroll-cutting-offseason-this-winter-r2756/Last winter, the Brewers had a very interesting and somewhat confusing offseason. The front office made it clear the team was planning to compete, yet there weren’t any signs of showing it.
