  1. Freddy Peralta, who's on pace for the best season of his career, is reportedly interested in signing an extension with the Milwaukee Brewers, according to Jon Heyman of the NY Post. Peralta has a team option for 2026 that would pay him $8 million - basically a no brainer for the Brewers. Peralta has been phenomenal for the Brewers in his 14 starters this season. The 29 year old has a 2.69 ERA (3.89 FIP) and 14.8% strikeout minus walk rate. The one gripe you could make is his elevated walk rate, otherwise the right hander has been lights out with elite fastball and offspeed offerings. If you were in charge, how many years and how much money would you give Peralta, if any?

  3. The Milwaukee Brewers have been keeping the hot stove warm in the last two days. They traded Aaron Civale, who requested a trade after being forced to the bullpen, to the Chicago White Sox for 1B/OF Andrew Vaughn. Vaughn was previously with the White Sox Triple-A affiliate. That move has prompted the team to put 1B/OF Jake Bauers on the trade blocking, according to Francys Romero. Vaughn and Bauers are redundant on the Brewers' 40-man roster as they profile similarly, and Rhys Hoskins is the team's primary first baseman. The team must view Vaughn better than they do Bauers, given how the last few hours have unfolded. Bauers has had a good start to the season with a .762 OPS and five home runs, but is significantly cheaper than Vaughn. It's a pretty surprising move as Vaughn has been underwhelming in his big-league career. What do you think of the moves today? View full rumor

  5. Baseball America has updated their Top 100 prospect list at the start of June and it's unsurprising that the Milwaukee Brewers systems leads the charge with four prospects in the top 33. While they don't have the most prospects in the top 100, they aren't far off from Los Angeles Dodgers who have five. Jesús Made(#4), Jacob Misiorowski (#21), Luis Peña (#31), and Cooper Pratt (#33) are the four names to crack the list. Made has arguably been the hottest name in the prospect word as he's torn apart Single-A Carolina with an .837 OPS, four home runs, and 21 stolen bases. Misiorowski has a sparkling 2.31 ERA and a so-so 19.2% K-BB rate for Triple-A Nashville. Peña, at the same level as Made, is another prospect who's been a popular topic of conversation this season. He has a .964 OPS with five home runs and 23 stolen bases. Finally, Pratt hasn't had quite the same level of success for Double-A Biloxi with just a .650 OPS. He does have four home runs and 10 stolen bases on the season. When will the Brewers call up Misiorowski? Was anyone snubbed from the top 100 list? Join the conversation in the comments!

  7. Sal got JACKED over the offseason. How will it impact his performance on the field?
  8. While rumors of Kelley Jansen being in the market have been swirling since the offseason, it may have been assumed he was off the market considering the Red Sox unexpected success in 2024. Instead, Jim Bowden of The Athletic wrote that rival executives believe "...there could be 'buyer-to-buyer' type trade this year..." While the price tag is hefty in both salary and player capital, the former elite reliever has done exceptional this year sporting a 2.30/2.13 ERA/FIP with a 19.1-percent K-BB and locking down 15/16 save opportunities. He would be an expensive but great addition for any team who needs bullpen help. While relievers are volatile creatures, it's an added bonus that an acquiring team would only be tied to him for this season. Cover photo credit: © Paul Rutherford-USA TODAY Sports View full rumor
