    2024 Midwest League Manager of the Year Victor Estevez will helm the High-A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers again in 2025. It's worth noting hitting coach Evan Berliner's leap from the Arizona Complex League two levels to the cold north.
  2. Ro Mueller
    Manager Joe Ayrault also returns in 2025 to coach the AA Biloxi Shuckers, which is great to see after he missed some time in 2024 for health reasons. As @Jim Goulart highlighted above, hitting coach Kevin Martir has joined from the Yankees' organization.
  3. Ro Mueller
    Manager Rick Sweet is back to coach the AAA 2025 Nashville Sounds. We're going with 2 pitching coaches this year, including Justin Meccage coming over from the Pirates and Bryan Leslie (also Lead Strategist of Pitching Development) focusing on one affiliate for the first time. And we've got 2 hitting coaches again, with Tim Doherty bumping up 2 levels from Wisconsin and Zack Jones joining from the Phillies/Driveline.

    There’s no rest for the weary, as the clubs jump right into the knock-out semifinals later today: - Dominican Republic (2-2) vs. Venezuela (2-2) at 4pm CST - Puerto Rico (2-2) vs. Mexico (4-0) at 9pm CST

    26-year old free agent RHP Jesus Vargas threw the 8-inning no-hit shutout against Japan. Here’s the RBI single by SS Eduardo Garcia:

    RHP Justin Yeager (1 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 0 K) notches yet another save, this time helping Puerto Rico close out a 10-7 comeback win over the Dominican Republic. SS Eduardo Garcia (2-for-4, RBI) and Venezuela no-hit and demolished Japan 10-0 in the other contest.

    Under-rated terrific trade given $$$: Renfroe 2023 WAR: 0.4 Peguero 2023 WAR: 0.6 Wong-Winker trade might have looked better if Counsell played Toro during his season-ending 41-game on-base streak. Contreras and Payamps for a player we didn’t believe could play center field is spectacular. Missed it on Topa and Erceg, but got it back with Megill, Bryse Wilson and a bit of Owen Miller. Can’t feel bad about Tyson Miller, since the Dodgers, Mets and Mariners each let him go too.

    Maybe the upcoming 60-day IL placements will loosen up the free agent and trade market a bit:

    Venezuela recovered from their poor start (3 errors, down 5-1) to score 9 unanswered runs and defeat Puerto Rico 10-5. SS Eduardo Garcia went 2-for-5 with a double and 2 runs scored. Mexico defeated Japan 7-2 in the other contest. The Group Stage finishes on Tuesday with Venezuela (1-2) playing Japan (0-3) and P.R. (1-2) battling D.R. (2-1).
  10. Ro Mueller
    Rough start to this afternoon’s Venezuela-Puerto Rico contest for SS Eduardo Garcia: 3 errors in 3 innings, contributing to 3 unearned runs. But he does have a hit and a run scored. Venezuela trails 5-3 entering the 5th inning.
  11. Ro Mueller
    Make it 21 non-roster invites, with LHP Tyler Jay joining the fray:
  12. Ro Mueller
    - LHP Tyler Jay returns on a minor league deal

    Replace Adames with a player similar to the value he delivered last year. Fangraphs had him at 4.8 WAR in 2024 Their projections for this year: - Bregman - 4.0 - Chisholm - 3.7 - Neto - 3.7 - Bichette - 3.6 - Westburg - 3.6 - Arenado - 3.2 - B. Lowe - 3.1 - Alonso - 2.8 - Bohm - 2.8 - Vientos - 2.7 - Muncy - 2.7 - Suarez - 2.4 - M. Garcia - 2.4 - McMahon - 2.3 - Jung - 2.3 - McNeil - 2.3 - Arraez - 2.2

    That was a critically important 3-2 win which Justin Yeager (1 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 1 WP, 2 Ks) closed out for Puerto Rico over Japan. Japan lost despite outhitting P.R. 10-4 and stranding a runner at 3rd base in each of the 7th, 8th and 9th innings. Mexico also defeated the Dominican Republic 2-0. Mecico and D.R. have qualified for the knockout round, while P.R. (1-1), Venezuela (0-2) and Japan (0-3) each have more work to do.
  15. Ro Mueller
    In their second contest, SS Eduardo Garcia (1-for-3, SB) and Venezuela fell to Mexico 2-1, with 2 ninth innings errors gifting Mexico a late run. The Dominican Republic also defeated Japan 12-1. It’s a peculiar tournament format, as 4 of 5 teams will make the knockout round,. Thus, Venezuela is not in too much trouble despite being 0-and-2 with 2 group games remaining.

    We started the 2024 season with 53 pitchers between MLB (13), AAA (15) and AA (16), including one in limbo (Thompson) and 8 on injured lists (Woodruff, Devin, Miley, Clarke, Gasser, Crow, McGee, Knarr). Based on my list, we're already at 56 such pitchers this year, and with fewer long-term injury cases (e.g. Gasser). It'll be an interesting and competitive camp. MLB (16, incl. 3 extra): Peralta, Woodruff, Cortes, Civale, Myers, Hall, Payamps, Megill, Hudson, Mears, Koenig, Uribe, Ashby, Peguero, Thomas, Gasser AAA (21, incl. 5 extra): Misiorowski, Henderson, CF Rodriguez, Patrick, Crow, Pannone, Zimmermann, E Rodriguez, Wolfram, Anderson, Yoho, Bukauskas, Nittoli, Maciejewski, McKendry, Middendorf, McGee, Garcia, Gardner, Liranzo, Yeager AA (19, incl. 3 extra): Hunt, Peek, Kuehner, Wichrowski, Cornielle, Rudy, Woessner, Holub, McWilliams, Smith, Peterson, Stallings, Bowman, Childers, Knarr, Costello, Fitzpatrick, Merkel, Mendoza

    Old friends C Francisco Mejia (3-for-3, 3B, 2B, RBI, run) and RHP Brooks Hall (5 shutout innings) led the Dominican Republic to a 2-0 victory over SS Eduardo Garcia (single, 2 Ks) and Venezuela in the opening game of the Caribbean Series. Mexico whipped Puerto Rico 8-1 in the other contest.
  18. Ro Mueller
    Emmanuel Rivera has a solid exit velocity and throwing arm. Also somehow posted a .318 xwOBA in the majors last year. His BB/K ratio is mediocre, but not as bad as Moncada or De Jong. Maybe we’ll take him for $1 million, though not if it prevents us from finding an impact hitter. Oh, and Rivera can’t run.
  19. Ro Mueller
    1B Jake Bauers, C Ramon Rodriguez and C David Garcia also have non-roster invitations to MLB camp. There are 19 players listed on the Brewers’ website, with Bukauskas making it 20.

    And INF Eduardo Garcia is also part of the Venezuelan squad which will battle Mexico, Japan, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic next week:

    RHP Justin Yeager will indeed be playing for Team Puerto Rico in the Caribbean Series next week:

    This is a reminder that championship clubs get to represent their country in the Caribbean Series, so some of our guys (e.g. Yeager, Garcia, Liranzo) may have games next week, subject to being made available by the Brewers and selected by the clubs:

    It was a back-and-forth, entertaining Game 7 in the Dominican Republic, with 3B Junior Caminero (Rays) going 4-for-5 with 2 doubles and a tie-breaking solo homer in the top of the 9th inning to give Escogido a 6-5 lead. Licey put 2 runners aboard against RHP Rafael Montero (Astros) and old friend C Francisco Mejia nearly won the game and series with a 2-out, 2-2 soft liner to right field, but OF Socrates Brito (Korea) corralled the liner to secure Escogido’s Championship. Though his only series action for Escogido came back in Game 3, recent Brewers’ signee RHP Jesus Liranzo can still call himself a champion.
  24. Ro Mueller
    The deciding Game 7 of the Dominican Republic Championship Series is tonight, with tensions rising. If we’re lucky, RHP Jesus Liranzo (Escogido) and/or C Jorge Alfaro (Licey) will see action.
