It's also very likely that they'll have Colin Rea, whom they can retain on an affordable team option. Tobias Myers is a lock, as long as he's healthy. Beyond that, though, things get murky in a hur...2750Wed, 30 Oct 2024 23:08:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/by-retaining-chris-hook-the-brewers-keep-a-successful-pitching-development-program-running-smoothly-r2748/The Brewers already announced some changes to their coaching staff last week, but perhaps the most prominent development in that department occurred on Tuesday, when Chris Hook signed a new multi-year deal to remain the team’s pitching coach. The 56-year-old Hook will return for his 18th se...2748Wed, 30 Oct 2024 11:36:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/chris-hook-will-remain-milwaukee-brewers-pitching-coach-signs-new-multi-year-deal-r2747/It was never very much in doubt, because Chris Hook probably wasn't in as much demand outside the Brewers organization as he should have been. Unlike some other Brewers coaches, he wasn't likely to become a target for ex-Brewers manager Craig Counsell and the Cubs, who have retained their own pi...2747Tue, 29 Oct 2024 19:41:31 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/fielding-bible-awards-voting-three-brewers-were-runners-up-for-defensive-awards-r2746/  Though much newer and less widely recognized than Gold Gloves, the Fielding Bible Awards are the only defensive honors serious baseball fans should care about each year. Rather than hurriedly scribbled onto three-person ballots by disinterested and often underqualified coaches and manager...2746Tue, 29 Oct 2024 14:26:06 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/declining-devin-williamss-option-is-a-no-brainer-for-milwaukee-brewers-r2745/The World Series could end as soon as Tuesday night, though it's more likely to stretch to the weekend. Either way, within five days of MLB crowning its champion for 2024, the Brewers have to make some key decisions. One of those calls will be their call on the team option they hold on closer De...2745Mon, 28 Oct 2024 23:04:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/lingering-fastball-concerns-raise-questions-about-dl-halls-role-with-brewers-r2735/After a difficult start to his Brewers career (consisting of a 7.71 ERA in four injury-marred starts and a three-month rehab filled with speed bumps), DL Hall ended his season on a positive note. In 26 2/3 innings after returning to the big leagues in August, Hall pitched to a 3.38 ERA, 3.28 FIP...2735Fri, 25 Oct 2024 11:13:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/6-players-brewers-should-retain%E2%80%A6-and-8-guys-they-should-move-r2728/The 40-man roster is the defining constraint of roster-building in MLB. At times this season, the Brewers had to cut loose some talented options, like Enoli Paredes (now with the Cubs), Janson Junk (with the Astros), James Meeker and Taylor Clarke. We’re likely to see some more painful departure...2728Wed, 23 Oct 2024 16:13:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/revisiting-brice-turangs-quantum-leap-r2732/When Pat Murphy declared in spring training that he expected Brice Turang to take a “quantum leap” in his sophomore season, the prediction was followed by instructions for the assembled media in his office. “If he doesn’t, I want you to say, ‘Murph, you said he’s going to make a quantum lea...2732Wed, 23 Oct 2024 11:47:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-need-to-wean-themselves-off-the-soft-cutter-in-2025-r2730/Late last week at Baseball Prospectus, I wrote about an interesting trend throughout MLB over the last several seasons: the league keeps throwing more cutters to opposite-handed batters, even though those pitches keep getting less effective. In short, while everyone has gotten used to the idea o...2730Mon, 21 Oct 2024 15:18:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-brewers-have-the-depth-to-avoid-expensive-mistakes-in-free-agency-r2727/The Brewers do not need to enter the free-agent market for external options in the 2024-2025 offseason. Forget pursuing a third baseman via free agency, bolstering the rotation, or bullpen. If fans look at potential needs, they can all be filled in-house. Let’s look over the positions where they...2727Sun, 20 Oct 2024 11:53:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/sal-frelick-should-embrace-a-tradeoff-for-greater-bat-speed-r2725/Sal Frelick’s improbable home run in Game 3 of the Wild Card Series didn’t just inspire brief hope for the Milwaukee faithful. It was also a monumental moment for Frelick himself because it was the first time he showed an extra gear of strength that had been absent from his big-league portfolio...2725Sat, 19 Oct 2024 11:50:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/is-carrying-three-catchers-more-viable-than-it-seems-for-brewers-r2724/Because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the massive attendant disruption to the sport, it was a long time between the league passing rules limiting teams to 13 pitchers on their 26-man active roster and those rules actually taking effect. Eventually, though, it did happen, and ever since, on somewh...2724Fri, 18 Oct 2024 11:16:01 +0000
