The Brewers made news that impacted their minor league rosters on Wednesday.

The Brewers announced via their Twitter feed that they have acquired catcher Alex Jackson from the Miami Marlins for infielder Hayden Cantrelle and right-handed pitcher Alexis Ramirez. Jackson was assigned to AAA-Nashville, but has displayed some promising power in the minors. But he didn't cost nothing.
The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers and new manager Joe Ayrault met the local media for the first time on Wednesday. Here are some of the highlights from their comments as they prepare for Opening Day on Friday:

Bringing the DH to the National League will certainly increase offense across the Senior Circuit, and it provides the Milwaukee Brewers an added bat to hopefully improve their offense this season. Sometimes rule changes also have unintended consequences, which could suit the Brewers' pitching staff.

As for the rest of MLB, there are good and bad seasons, ugly predictions, and lucky ones. Please take a peek, give us your thoughts, and post your own MLB predictions in the comments!
It is easy to cheer for your time when they win, but what does it take to transform that team into a team you like? A team that transcends winning and losing, but just makes the game of baseball a joy to watch?
With apologies to Tom Jones fans everywhere, it's not unusual for great pitchers to take a step back on their path toward immortality. And not all great pitchers get to that place. Corbin Burnes in 2022 is going to take that step back, and we have three case studies that can help inform where he goes from here.
Fans, experts, and others around baseball see the 2022 Milwaukee Brewers as a genuine contender for a World Series title.

Get the grill ready and buy your favorite hot dogs. Tailgate season is drawing near! This is merely one more reason the north side of the Wisconsin-Illinois border is more enjoyable. It's kind of like a Chicago Dog, just better in every way - hence, the Milwaukee Dog.
