Still so early in the spring but at this point it seems Tyler Black is the early standout. Does he have a shot to make the roster? Would be hard to say no if he keeps hitting like this.

As others have said, this leaves a big hole at 3B. Yes, maybe we shift Ortiz and add Williams, but I think this team really needs a slugger. I know it isn't in the makeup of how this team is constructed but the power is still lacking throughout this lineup. We are loaded with prospects right now, I can't imagine we will just hoard all those guys. Gotta think we would ship some away for something...

Kazuma Okamoto is going to be posted this off-season. I know Japanese players aren't super eager to come to Milwaukee and he will probably end up on the West Coast, but this would be perfect for the Brewers. Position of need, and a big bat.

I don't have any likely big name targets the Brewers could go after, but it does sound like we will have a good amount of money to spend. We have a few mutual options that likely wont get picked up (Woodruff, Hoskins, Quintana, Jansen) and with our currently commitments and projected arbitration numbers, we should be sitting under $80M in salary for 2026. Would love to add a big bat like Story or Bregman but those guys just aren't within our budget.

A lot of people seem to think Freddy will be traded this winter after we pick up his $8M club option, similar to what we did with Burnes. If we do go this route, I am curious what kind of haul we could get for Freddy. I would think an elite pitcher on an $8M salary would fetch a pretty good haul. For comparison, we traded Burnes to Baltimore for Joey Ortiz, DL Hall (RIP), and the 34th pick in the 2024 draft (Blake Burke).

I'm optimistic that Murphy is going to let Monasterio get an AB this series

I would much rather have Monasterio start and bring in Joey as a late inning defensive replacement

Yawn. Really hard to get excited about the season when these are the moves we are making.

With only 6,000 followers I am going to go with BS on this one.

Yet another pitching lab candidate...

One less suitor. More and more likely we keep him.

Numbers don't jump off the screen and hasn't pitched in the MLB in two years. Must see something they really like to give an MLB contract.

I really hope they find a way to keep Mitchell and Frelick

Does this guarantee he is our starting CF on opening day? You would think so...
