    Nicaragua (including SS Freddy Zamora) and South Africa kick off WBC Qualifiers tonight at 10:00pm CST, with the game available live on YouTube:

    The classic “Are You My Mother?” book, but for the Brewers’ 3rd base job. Then she met Tyler Black. Are YOU my third baseman? No, coach said I’m playing first base. I am not your third basemen. So away she went. Then she met Caleb Durbin. Are YOU my third basemen? No, I don’t have the arm strength to play third base. I am not your third baseman. So away she went. Then she saw Sal Frelick…

    Justin Turner went to the Cubs for $6m, plus a potential $2.5m incentives. Brendan Rodgers went to the Astros on a minor league deal.

    Arizona Fall League: Top 20 Bats - Nice to see Caleb Durbin, Luis Lara and Juan Baez, though he categorizes Durbin as “more of a utility prospect”. Also, we hope Brock Wilken (not featured) turns over a new leaf in 2025.

    I’m just hoping he’s healthy after only facing 7 MLB batters in Sep/Oct. I’m also still surprised we burned his 2nd option year.
  6. Ro Mueller
    At this point, I’m starting to guess that our under-the-radar 3B target is actually Sal Frelick. My bad idea of the week is to sign Justin Turner to be a primary DH and backup 3B/1B. Maybe he can find some more EV and HR than he had last year, like Cutch and Winker rediscovering how to hit again after leaving the Crew.

    If Jeferson Quero isn't ready to catch (Quero's comeback already drawing quite the buzz in AZ) to start the MILB season, maybe Ramon Rodriguez (65 career AAA PAs, 163 career AA PAs) will join Jorge Alfaro and Nick Kahle (56 career AAA PAs, 263 career AA PAs) in Nashville. These guys had better be able to handle the Yoho and Mis balls coming their way, which is no easy task.

    - RHP Sam Gardner released by AA Biloxi An undrafted free agent signing out of independent ball in May 2023, the now 28-year old Gardner was one of the top relief pitchers in the whole of Minor League Baseball over the past 2 seasons (2.20 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 12.3 K/9 in 81.2 IP, including an astounding 0.87 WHIP in AA ball last year). This hurts. Gardner was placed on the injured list on August 18, 2024, so perhaps this release is injury-related.

    Great eye all around, including on the AA outfield question. Apart from Lara and O'Rae, it looks to me like we've got a 4-man camp battle: Bladimir Restituyo, Eduardo Garcia, Adam Hall and Garrett Spain. This may bring back memories of Isaac Collins, Felix Valerio and Ethan Murray splitting 2nd base duties early in Biloxi's 2023 campaign. And Zavier Warren is older than all of them, so I've no idea what we'll do with him.

    Fangraphs has Mears and Peguero instead of Yoho and Hall. They also have Dunn instead of Monasterio. I wish we’d pick up a starting 3B, so we’re not here debating Dunn vs. Monasterio. I also figure we’re expecting a Thomas vs. Alexander decision at some point relatively early in the season.

    - RHP Oliver Camilo released by DSL Brewers-1

    Not getting INF Kike Hernandez:
  13. Ro Mueller
    We might choose to hold off on adding any more starting pitchers to our 40-man MLB roster until we’ve decided what to do with Connor Thomas (or if we face a distressing new injury). Until then; CF Rodriguez has already burned one option. Chad Patrick is already 26 years old, after throwing one very effective AAA season. We said that Rule 5 pick Connor Thomas will be given a chance to start. In October, Murphy talked about Ashby being a candidate to throw more innings. There’s been some speculation that Elvin Rodriguez could be a multi-inning guy. Logan Henderson has never struggled at any level and is already on the MLB roster. I’d imagine that these constitute the main starting pitching depth options which Murphy and Hook will have to sift through if there are injuries or any starters falter (Peralta, Civale, Cortes, Myers, Hall).

    INF Freddy Zamora is headed to Taiwan before 2026 WBC qualifiers against South Africa, Spain and Chinese Taipei later this month:

    Old friend OF Joe Gray Jr. has signed with the Lake County DockHounds of the independent American Association.

    The Winter League season concluded with the Dominican Republic 1-hitting previously-undefeated Mexico 1-0 to capture the Caribbean Series. 42-year old Robinson Cano knocked in what proved to be the winning run on a ground ball double play (no RBI) in the 3rd inning. 39-year old Esmil Rogers got the win and 33-year old Jimmy Cordero earned the save.
  17. Ro Mueller
    In the wake of the Bucks’ trade deadline lowering expectations, a thought flashed through my dispirited mind: Would we possibly trade for INF Anthony Rendon and how much of his remaining 2-year salary would we be willing to take on?
  18. Ro Mueller
    All 29 international free agent signings are on the MILB transaction log, with RHP Luis Aguayo and LHP Daniel Garcia added a few days after the main signing day (and back-dated on the log).

    Puerto Rico jumped ahead 7-1 over Venezuela in the 3rd place game and held on to win 7-4. RHP Justin Yeager conceded those 3 ninth inning runs (0.2 IP, 3 R, 2 H, 2 BB, 1 K). SS Eduardo Garcia pinch hit against Yeager, walking and scoring for Venezuela. Thus concludes the Brewers’ portion of Winter League ball. The Caribbean Series finale between Mexico and the Dominican Republic takes place tonight at 9pm CST

    Thanks for this interesting piece. Though by my count, we're already up to 57 MLB/AAA/AA pitchers in the organization, so I figure we're counting on the cream to rise to the top while Murphy and Hook work their magic. We still need a top infield bat o!

    SS Eduardo Garcia (1-for-4, 2B, walk) and Venezuela had plenty of chances (3-for-19 with RISP; 12 LOB), but ultimately fell 5-4 in 11 innings to the Dominican Republic in the semifinal. They had bases loaded, nobody out in the 8th inning (scored 1); 2-on, 1-out in the 9th (no runs); 2-on, nobody out in the 11th (no runs). Garcia doubled to lead off the 3rd inning (didn’t score), then later K’d on 3 pitches for the 2nd out of the 11th inning (crucial at-bat). He also misplayed a potential double play ball early in the game (no error charged). Mexico defeated Puerto Rico 3-1 in the other semifinal. RHP Justin Yeager did not play. Puerto Rico and Venezuela will face off in the third place match at 9pm tonight.

    I had wondered if the Meccages were related. Also, it's apparently pronounced "message":

    Some excitement for former Brewer RHP Tyler Thornburg (9 MLB seasons in all) joining Biloxi as an associate coach:
  24. Ro Mueller
    @BrewersPD also unveiled our Player Development and Performance personnel for 2025. I note that Will Schierholz and J.J. Reimer were Biloxi's pitching and hitting coaches last year.
  25. Ro Mueller
    2024 Carolina League Manager of the Year Nick Stanley is also back, ready to coach the Low-A Carolina Mudcats again. They're going with two pitching coaches this year, including Paul Moeller (2024 Biloxi bullpen coach) and Blake Nation (2024 ACL Brewers pitching coach).
