  1. Franchise number 5 for Joey Wiemer:
  2. Anyone want a 29-year old, left-handed hitting third baseman who hit 26 homers, stole 25 of 27 bases and had a 68 BB / 96 K ratio in Korea last year, but can't play shortstop? Meet Sung-mun Song:
  3. Good to see Alex Jackson likely lock in solid wages (estimated $1.8 million) for the first time:
  4. I think he’d be on the 40-man from December to late February, then on the 60-day injured list til September, spend maybe a few active days on the MLB roster in September (or let him do MILB rehab), then need to do the remaining balance of 90 days on the active roster to start the 2027 season. Not an expert though.
  5. I don’t really the downside in selecting injured RHP Brandon Birdsell and converting him away from the dark side:
  6. Noting some of the highest ranked (MLB.com rankings for each club) players not added to MLB rosters and thus available in the Rule 5 Draft on December 10th: OF Yohendrick Pinango – 7 P Brandon Birdsell – 9 P Henry Lalane – 9 OF Victor Arias – 9 P Brock Selvidge – 10 P Jagger Haynes – 10 C Daniel Susac – 11 P Blake Burkhalter – 11 SS Cristian Hernandez – 11 P Brendan Beck – 11 SS Josh Kasevich – 12 C Edward Duran – 13 P Mason Adams – 13 P Alimber Santa – 13 P Felix Arronde – 13 P Peyton Pallette – 14 OF Miguel Bleis – 15
  7. Andruw Monasterio is back in Venezuela playing with his usual winter club Caribes de Anzoategui:
  8. If I understand correctly, Woodruff has until 3:00pm CST tomorrow, Tuesday to accept or reject the Qualifying Offer. And all clubs have until the same time tomorrow, Tuesday to protect additional players from the Rule 5 Draft. If Woodruff accepts the Qualifying Offer, one could argue that we'll be MORE likely to select a player in the Rule 5 Draft, since we'd have such an awesome rotation with Peralta, Woodruff, Misiorowski, etc. to ensure we win ~95 games. Whereas if he rejects the Qualifying Offer, we'll likely have to spend money on multiple decent MLB players to make up for his loss. The Yankees and Twins have decisions to make on a number of MLB.com-ranked prospects (10 each), while this article from yesterday touches on at least one difficult Rule 5 decision for each team. Worthless personal note: Unlike every GM, I'm not a fan of stashing a pitching prospect unless it's someone like starting, high velocity, Minor League-dominating Shane Smith, given that only 13 pitchers are allowed on MLB rosters. I usually look for a position player who can more safely languish as the 26th roster spot, like Jonathan Davis did for a long stretch in 2022.
  9. With Luke Adams' solid all-around game, including a far less noisy batting stance, I want to believe we'll start him in AAA next year. Let him see if his uber-patient approach works at that level. Basically the opposite of why we sadly held Jadher back in High-A in 2025. That could mean we'd push Pratt, Wilken, Lara and Adams all to AAA in March, with all 4 likely to find that it's a rather large adjustment. I think that'd be fascinating to watch and root for them to adapt/succeed. It might also be time to just throw Yerlin Rodriguez to the AA Southern League wolves. Sink or swim. Hopefully something finally clicks, so he moves toward the Abner Uribe path. It'll also be a big year for Eric Bitonti in High-A. Will his contact rate be enough or do we risk seeing a .199 average with 200 Ks? Then we've a real bevy of riches with starting pitching in the mid levels: Letson, Manuel Rodriguez, Thompson, Morrison, Knoth, Birchard, Woodward, Melvin Hernandez, Meccage, Dorchies, etc. And let's hope that Hayden Robinson gets back to his pre-injury form in 2026.
  10. They just had to protect Coleman Crow early, thereby taking 60% of the materiality out of this article, didn't they. Sorry man. And then we're selecting even later in the Rule 5 draft than last year, so we're very unlikely to grab someone. Maybe there's a Mark Mathias 2019-type player we'll trade for on November 18 - i.e. someone that another team has a borderline protection decision on.
  11. Edwin Jimenez (2 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 2 Ks - Win) retired 3 of 4 in the 9th inning to close out their AFL Championship win 9-4. Brewers’ pitchers covered 6 of the 9 innings, while Adams (1-for-2, 3 walks, RBI, SB), Adamczewski (2-for-3, double, walk, 2 RBIs) and O’Rae (1-for-4, SB) each contributed meaningfully. Jesus Broca and Anthony Flores together threw 4 IP - 3 R, 4 H, 3 BB, 1 HBP, 1 WP, 6 Ks.
  12. Awesome inning. Luke Adams draws a 1-out walk (3rd of the day) to get things going. A single and walk later, Adamczewski smacks a game-tying 2-run double the other way just over the 3rd base bag. Juan Benjamin follows with a 2-run single to grab a 6-4 advantage. …….. And they kept it going: O’Rae and Adams both singled as part of a 7-run, 12-batter 8th inning to take a 9-4 lead.
  13. Solid 3-up, 3-down 8th inning from Edwin Jimenez (weak liner, pop-out, K). Trailing 4-2, the team’s best chance for a multi-run inning is this bottom of the 8th: Dylan Dreiling, Luke Adams, Blake Mitchell, Dylan Campbell due up.
  14. The Saguaros scored 2 in the bottom of the 6th to make it a 4-2 game. Luke Adams drew a full count walk to load the bases and Adamczewski hit a rifle (102.2mph) right to the second baseman for the 3rd out. The announcers have been raving about the Brewers’ drafting, signings and Luke Adams’ all-around ability.
  15. Anthony Flores was fighting his mechanics for most of the top of the 6th inning, ultimately conceding 1 run and stranding 2. He threw 41 pitches (22 strikes) in his 2 innings of work. Time for the Surprise offense to wake up, trailing 4-0.
  16. Surprise conceded a run in each of the 1st and 2nd innings, then ran themselves out of a 2-on, Adamczewski-up opportunity on a failed double steal to end the 4th inning. Lacking length options in this AFL Championship, Jesus Broca entered in the 2nd inning, giving up a double and RBI triple before retiring 6 straight (well, there was a walk and pick off in there). Anthony Flores gave up an HBP, single and RBI groundout in the 5th inning, so we’re down 3-0 to Peoria at this point. Josh Adamczewski has a single and a walk, Luke Adams has a walk and a stolen base. Dylan O’Rae also started.
  17. Surprise grabbed a 3rd run on an Adamczewski RBI walk in the 5th inning, then conceded 3 runs in the 6th. Still tied 3-3 in the bottom of the 9th, Adams had a chance to play hero but popped out for the 2nd out. But Royals' catcher Blake Mitchell followed with a walk-off RBI single. The Saguaros win 4-3 and will play in the AFL final tomorrow, Friday. Adams: 1-for-3, walk, HBP, SB Adamczewski: 0-for-2, 2 BB, RBI O'Rae: 0-for-2, 2 BB, RBI, SB
  18. The Arizona Fall League playoff semifinals are underway, with 1B Luke Adams (HBP), LF Josh Adamczewski (BB) and 2B Dylan O’Rae (BB, RBI) all featuring for Surprise against Mesa. We lead 2-0 in the 3rd inning. The Guardians’ 25-year old RHP Trenton Denholm started for the good guys, Yankees’ 23-year old RHP Cade Smith for the opposition.
  19. Yerlin Rodriguez for Tiburones on Tuesday: - K, K, HBP, BB, balk, HBP - 0.2 IP His teammate stranded the 3 baserunners to help him out.
  20. Luke Adams had 3 or 5 homers in the AFL derby, depending which tweet or article you read. Tony Blanco Jr. of the Pirates was the winner.
  21. O’Rae may be Made’s primary middle infield counterpart for Biloxi this season, though there are other potential claimants (Adamczewski, Eric Brown Jr., Eduardo Garcia; Luis Pena after he crushes High-A pitching).
  22. @Jim Goulart had noted the reported re-signings of LHP Thomas Pannone and C David Garcia above. Per the transaction thread, most of the others have elected free agency, although 1-2 may still re-sign. I believe the last 7 we're waiting for any status update on are: RHP JB Bukauskas RHP Garrett Stallings C Darrien Miller INF/OF Eduardo Garcia C Ramon Rodriguez RHP Edwin Jimenez (who's playing in the Arizona Fall League, which one might think is a good sign of likely re-upping with the Brewers) C Andrick Nava
  23. More free agents: OF Jared Oliva elected free agency 1B Ernesto Martinez Jr elected free agency RHP Justin Yeager elected free agency RHP Alexander Cornielle elected free agency INF Raynel Delgado elected free agency RHP Jesús Liranzo elected free agency OF Drew Avans elected free agency OF Jimmy Herron elected free agency LHP Josh Maciejewski elected free agency C Nick Kahle elected free agency RHP Zach Peek elected free agency OF/INF Bladimir Restituyo elected free agency RHP Abdiel Mendoza elected free agency INF/OF Adam Hall elected free agency RHP Austin Roberts elected free agency RHP Travis MacGregor elected free agency LHP Raúl Alcantara elected free agency C Victor Torres elected free agency RHP Jeferson Figueroa elected free agency
