  6. Yeah, probably. But I've been skeptical of Brewers moves in the past, and they usually prove me wrong.
  7. I get the idea behind this, but the value leaving Milwaukee feels out of whack, and I'm quite down on Collins. But whatever. The Brewers deserve the benefit of the doubt. If they target a pitcher, I'm on board.
  8. According to Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic, the Brewers are open to trading some of their outfield depth. Isaac Collins and Blake Perkins are mentioned by name, with the expectation that Christian Yelich, Jackson Chourio, and Sal Frelick are not available. Perkins, 29, is arbitration-eligible for 2026, his first year of arbitration. In 2025 for Milwaukee, he logged 171 plate appearances and hit .226/.298/.348 with three home runs. He posted a .287 wOBA and 83 wRC+, and finished at 0.4 fWAR overall. Perkins played 52 games in center field, with +1 Outs Above Average. Collins, 28, lost his rookie eligibility in 2025 and won't qualify for arbitration until 2027. Collins tallied 441 plate appearances in 2025, batting .263/.368/.411 with nine home runs and 16 steals. He produced a .344 wOBA, 122 wRC+, and 2.6 fWAR, along with a 12.9% BB% and 21.1% K%. He finished the season with +4 Outs Above Average, a .319 xwOBA, and an 88.8 mph average exit velocity.

  12. Huh. I don't know how I feel about this, I suppose it's a fine pickup if that option is triggered immediately, and he is used as depth.
  13. I agree, all three systems are weak. But this is a good reminder that it's not about public perception, it's what the Brewers like in a player. And if there's an organization I trust to pluck good-but-undervalued players from another team, it's the Brewers. Also, welcome to the site!
  14. Hah, I just noticed BF has a Buxton article queued in the next few minutes. Before you all blame me, I had nothing to do with it. Getting out in front of this. 😁
  15. As I mentioned above, it's because Twins ownership is awful and really, really bad at their jobs. They're third generation nepo babies who have put the team in massive debt. It's why the Twins have gone from a $160m payroll three years ago to probably around $100m in 2026.
  16. Over the past two seasons, he has been paid $30m and been worth 9 fWAR. Your valuation of Buxton is bonkers. In the past nine seasons (basically his entire full-time playing career), he has been worth 3+ fWAR in six of them. And one of the three sub-3 fWAR seasons was the 60-game COVID season. Your valuation of Buxton simply is not based in reality. The Twins are considering a trade because their owners are incompetent and failing. They've put the team in massive debt, to the point literally one-third of the team's valuation is under debt from other businesses. There's a reason they're bringing in minority partners; they literally need money. It's pathetic, really. If the owners weren't so bad, there is a zero percent chance a Buxton trade is even a consideration.
  17. Jack and Spencer discuss the latest reports about the Brewers' payroll situation, Freddy Peralta 's future, and potential trade candidates.

  19. I believe the maximum number of uniforms allowed is four, so one of the 2025 uniforms is phased out.
  20. I looked into this a bit, and in 2024 when Duran was good, he was better outside Fenway than in it. The two years bookending that when Duran was less good, he's WAY better in Fenway than outside it. Weird, and possibly worth a dive unto itself.
  21. I'm like 98% sure I'm going to buy one of these. I need a Chourio jersey anyway.
  22. I'll preface this by saying I'm a sucker for powder blue uniforms. As a child of the 1980s when it felt like every team had one, it evokes nostalgia for a time when baseball was stupid, played on concrete, and everyone was doing something illegal. To my knowledge, the Brewers have never used "Milwaukee" on a powder blue jersey, making these likely to be road uniforms. The block font is a throwback, but only to jerseys that read "Brewers" in the 1970s and 1980s. Milwaukee was typically written in a script font, not dissimilar to the current dark blue jerseys worn on the road. What are your thoughts on these new jerseys? Yay or nay? View full rumor
