Jon Morosi tweeted that the Brewers are one of four teams looking for middle infield help. Curiously, the names mentioned are Tim Anderson, Paul DeJong, and Vidal Brujan. Tim Anderson of the White Sox is having an abysmal year by his standards. The former batting champion has an average around .240 and a sub-.300 on-base percentage and slugging percentage. Paul DeJong could be an upgrade but he plays for the Cardinals and teams are reluctant to trade within the division, though it does happen. The third name, Vidal Brujan, has a OPS under .500 in 2023. He's a consensus top 100 global prospect with very little experience against MLB pitching. Frankly, I'm not sure any of these names make sense for the 2023 Brewers stretch run. -
Trade deadline season is starting to heat up after the Rockies broke the seal by making a deal to move some lower-tier pieces to the Braves and Rangers. In this piece for MLB.com, Mark Feinsand lists the 17 players most likely to be traded and has the Brewers listed as potential suitors for several of them. We've already covered CJ Cron in this section so I'll ignore his mention. There are two really interesting names that stand out on this list, and for very different reasons. Randal Grichuck is a right-handed outfielder for Colorado who is having a solid season for the Rockies. Before anyone brings up road splits (which are often exaggerated for Rockies hitters but the altitude penalizes them, just as it does pitchers, though the inverse), Grichuck has a very respectable .792 road OPS in 2023. The most intriguing name on the list is Tigers left-handed starter Eduardo Rodriguez, who is under contract at a very reasonable rate through the 2026 season. The 30-year-old is having a breakout season, posting a 2.69 ERA in Detroit. The cost would be considerable but if there's a National League team that can extract additional value from a pitcher, it's the Milwaukee Brewers. Who on this list intrigues you? View full rumor -

Jackson Chourio’s “mediocrity” in AA
Brock Beauchamp replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
Just showing competency against AA pitching at his age is phenomenal. -
I’ve seen a lot of disappointment around Chourio this season (maybe not so much in the past two weeks but still). Frankly, it’s absurd. He’s a teenager and not particularly close to turning 20. His 107 wRC+ is not eye-popping. THAT’S FINE. He’s a teenager! In AA! Let this tweet put that onto context. Look at the names mentioned.
-
It's gonna be hard to keep that 1 wRC+ out of the lineup. There is one compelling reason to play Taylor and that's which side of the plate he stands on when he bats. I know we're all stans for Monasterio at this point but I'm highlyyyyyyyyy skeptical of his continued performance.

This was a very well-timed piece, Jake.

This ignores that Hader was equally bad both before and after the trade. He had a 7.31 ERA for the Padres and was removed from closer duties for quite awhile. I think it's pretty obvious that the clubhouse suffered a significant blow with the departure of Hader. Did that knock the Brewers out of the postseason? Possibly. It's impossible to quantify such things. But the actual on-field performance of Hader or his replacements were not what caused the Brewers to lose out on October. And what the organization turned Hader into is nothing short of astounding.
-
Yeah, I think that's about right. Chourio - gold star, blue chip, all that Quero, Misiorowski - ascendant, could be great Black, Frelick - good solid prospects, could go either way A bunch of guys

This shouldn't be news but remember, we're talking about the Colorado Rockies here. This franchise has seen multiple trade deadlines come and go without moving key pieces that are approaching free agency, including last year when they made no trades and instead extended reliever Daniel Bard despite being well out of contention by the beginning of July. Unfortunately, and in a very Rockies-esque move, the quotes about activity did not come from General Manager Bill Schmidt but instead were from dugout manager Bud Black, speaking to the hosts of Power Alley on SiriusXM Radio. The Rockies have a few pieces that could interest the Brewers. While some are skeptical of 2023 CJ Cron, I believe he could be a nice piece at first base and has a chance to return to his career norms without facing the back-and-forth of trying to hit in Coors Field, followed by trying to hit outside of Coors Field. More intriguing - and more costly - is third baseman Ryan McMahon, who the Rockies have under contract through the 2027 season... though that hasn't stopped the Rockies from trading a guy in the past.

Coors has a hangover effect for hitters, too. It's pretty well documented.

It's possible, though I'll leave that for the Brewers to decide, obvi. One aspect of moving him directly into a MLB bullpen is that he's going to change his pitch mix and probably drop/decrease at least one pitch's use. That in itself changes his development quite a bit.
-
They touched on this during the latest MKE Tailgate podcast with @Smichaelis9 and I agree with their take: It doesn't make sense to derail Misiorowski's development - he is probably a top ten pitching prospect after the season - for 25 innings out of the bullpen. You keep that guy on his development schedule and do not deviate from it. He's simply too good and potentially too valuable.

I think Cron will be fine if he's healthy; he's probably one of my top three realistic targets for the Brewers.

I popped into this thread because I started the MKE Tailgate podcast five minutes ago and... -
A really interesting examination and perhaps part of the reason why the Brewers have coaxed such good performances from pitchers we shouldn't expect to be very good.

There isn't much in the way of real information about his potential retirement but the quotes from the players really stand out: they adore Craig Counsell. It shows how integral he is to the guys on the field. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2023/07/16/clayton-kershaw-craig-counsell-ready-to-retire-future-baseball/70417549007/

People management is as important as asset management. And after last year's Hader controversy and the Brewers fading until they missed the postseason entirely, there's a lot to be said for focusing on the people management aspect when asked a question directly. Your best pitcher and probably best player asked if he was going to be traded in the middle of a tough stretch against your main competition. Answering that player's question directly and succinctly is probably the smart move.

It's a question every Brewers fan has asked themselves over the past year: Will Corbin Burnes be traded? Should Corbin Burnes be traded? It's a question Burnes has been asking himself, reports MLB.com. And a few days ago when he saw General Manager Matt Arnold, he asked that very question. "He's not trading me", Burnes told Adam McCalvy. And Arnold is focused on adding pieces, not subtracting, as the front office did last year with the controversial Josh Hader trade. It makes sense, given that the Brewers are in first place in the National League Central and if they want to make an October push, it's hard to see that happening without Corbin Burnes fronting their rotation.
