  1. I think Milwaukee likes Woodruff and was probably not surprised by the QO being accepted. Interesting thought exercise, though.
  2. Signing 30-year olds who are 6′ 5″ seems like a predictable risk. Players rarely become more healthy and productive after they are done with arbitration.
  3. Did we want to pay 32-year old Bregman $175 million to decline in performance and block our prospects? Bo Bichette $42 million per season to block our prospects, too? Pete Alonso, $155 million? Our payroll is what it is and we don’t really need Rhys Hoskins or Matt Garza 2.0. I understand a desire to ‘do something’ in free agency but only if it actually helps the team, which is rarely the case for Milwaukee.
  4. Fair but we have nearly a dozen capable replacements on the left side of the infield knocking on the door.
  5. Kept Woodruff, got good value for Peralta. Acquired additional upside arms in Harrison and Zerpa. What more could we have realistically done? I’m not sure pushing all our prospect chips into the center of the table prior to a potential lockout would be wise.
  6. The idea that a business can raise prices by one percent and demand does not decrease by one percent means demand is inelastic, at least to a point. This makes sense because there really aren’t substitutes or alternatives to MLB if you really enjoy baseball. Businesses should maximize profit. I suppose you could watch another sport or form of entertainment. At the same time, most of the price increases are likely attributable to inflation and everything being twice as expense than before.
  7. Hard to expect much more excitement than what we received from this offseason. I expect we are still better than the Cubs.
  8. I don’t follow minor leagues as close as others but Wilken’s .876 OPS in Biloxi last season is not too shabby.
  9. Mitchell is cleared for baseball activities, which might be best shape in recent memory. 🙂 Should be ready for Opening Day
  10. I don’t see a scenario where Lockridge is our primary CF against LHP. Yelich also is unlikely to be benched against lefties, even if it feels like should. Yelich had .351 OBP against LH starting pitching last season (171 PA).
  11. Right handed power bat off the bench and a veteran who probably doesn’t require frequent at bats to stay relatively sharp. The over/under on total AB from Sanchez in Milwaukee this season can’t be very high.
  12. If Freddie Freeman gets hurt…
  13. Since Nicolet Law are not defense attorneys, they would not likely choose Ortiz to represent the firm. 🙂 The beard makes sense, though.
  14. Quietly, Castellanos has only 1.3 bWAR combined over four seasons and nearly 2,500 plate appearances. At that salary, you’d hope for more than replacement level production. On topic, glad Sanchez is back. Contreras catches nearly every game anyway.
  15. Brewers scored third most runs in baseball last year and most of our position players could be expected to improve in 2026
  16. If a team said they traded this 3B for one of the more promising LHP entering last year, they would be happy: To be fair, Durbin rarely strikes out and squares the ball up very well.
  17. Just when we all psyched ourselves up that a roster entirely comprised of 5’8’ guys was the right thing to do 🙂
  18. If Team X wins 97 games in 2025, brings back everyone except one starting pitcher, it is interesting how a projection dips 14 games from reality.
  19. Yes https://milwaukeerecord.com/sports/base-bevy-bad-brewers-bobbleheads/
  20. That’s an interesting tell. Have we previously traded a star before their giveaway day? Not that promotional items dictate baseball operations. Perhaps the giveaway team just played the percentages and went a safe route.
  21. You must not have seen the Anthony Joseph fight against Jake Paul 🙂
  22. Williams started 70 games at SS in 2025 and 53 combined games between 2B/CF. It could be a small omission from the article or a quiet acknowledgement that we have several blue chip SS prospects in our system for the long-term.
