"Brewers manager Pat Murphy joins The Rich Eisen Show to talk about Milwaukee claiming the first World Series title in franchise history."

Syracuse childhood friends talk about Pat Murphy -

"Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Luis Lara took to the streets of his Venezuela hometown municipality of Veroes in Yaracuy state to celebrate the 2026 World Series title. The 21-year-old ballplayer received the warm applause and affection from his fellow townsfolk 👏 and announced that in two weeks he might join the Tiburones de La Guaira."

Thursday 11/5 Box Score Scottsdale falls 9-1 to drop below .500 on the season at 12-13. The game was already lopsided when RHP Joshua Quezada and LHP Jose Meneses entered in the latter innings. As your box score review will show, they combined for a line of 2.1 IP, 3 H, 4 R (3 ER), 4 BB, 5 K, 1 HR. Quezada had only walked two on the season before issuing three free passes here. Jett Williams was 1-for-5 with a strikeout, leading off and playing shortstop. He was caught stealing for the first time in 11 tries. Eric Bitonti was a two-true-outcome guy, two walks, two strikeouts, batting 3rd and playing first base. Matthew Wood was 0-for-3 (one walk, two strikeouts) as the designated hitter. As we've been noting, Braylon Payne has seen very limited action as of late (just one game played going back to October 20th). No word on the nature of his injury. Here's the full game video archive. *** Next game is Thursday; Scottsdale plays a home game at 7:30 Central. It'll be available to view via MLB's app and MiLB's streaming AFL page. RHP Miqueas Mercedes is scheduled to start. You can follow that AFL Gameday / Box here.

Wednesday Box Score Scottsdale dropped its game 9-8 to drop to .500 on the season at 12-12 after what was a strong start to the campaign. Eric Bitonti's lone hit in a 1-for-5 night was a doozy, as seen in the post above. Bitonti batted 3rd as the DH. Catcher Matthew Wood (.324/.500/.432) was 3-for-5 (two doubles, single). Wood is up to 50 plate appearances now with the shiny .500 OBP and impressive additional figures. Jett Williams was 0-for-4 with a walk, leading off and playing center field. As we've been noting, Braylon Payne has seen very limited action as of late (just one game played going back to October 20th). No word on the nature of his injury. RHP Peyton Niksch has struggled in recent appearances after a strong start. Niksch did strand an inherited runner, getting the final two outs of the 4th inning. A teammate did allow one of Niksch's runners to score, but as your box score review will show, four earned runs in two innings of work is not ideal. Here's the full game video archive should you wish to hunt down Wood's at-bat's via the game log or Niksch's mound work. Next game is Thursday; Scottsdale plays a road game at 8:30 Central. It'll be available to view via MLB's app and MiLB's streaming AFL page. You can follow that AFL Gameday / Box here.

The latest Baseball America transactions indicate that 19-year-old RHP Carlos Galindo, a native of Colombia who has pitched in the DSL the past two summers, was granted a Dominican Winter League request. It seems unlikely he'll see action (we have seen especially young players assigned in past years and then serve a bit of a ghost bench role), but like all the names in this quoted post, the links point to Baseball Reference which includes winter league stats (if any). So, for now, use this post as you reference to check in every so often. BA also shows that 24-year-old RHP Quinton Low mad a winter league request, although it does not specify which league. Low missed all of 2024 and 2025 before making 25 relief appearances with Wisconsin in 2026 (9.35 ERA, 2.135 WHIP). As this Link Report for the games of August 7th shows (Timber Rattlers section), Low's season ended on a scary comebacker to his face.

Matt Eddy of Baseball America has posted the list of all minor league free agents for every club and includes various tidbits regarding the group overall (free to view). RHP Stiven Cruz (AA) RHP Gerson Garabito (AAA) RHP Reiss Knehr (AAA) RHP Yerlin Rodríguez (A+) RHP Bryse Wilson (AAA) LHP Ben Moore (R) C Blayberg Díaz (A+) C David García (AA) C Darrien Miller (AA) C Andrick Nava (AAA) C Ramón Rodríguez (AAA) 2B Ji-hwan Bae (AAA) 2B Jheremy Vargas (AA) SS Eduardo García (AAA) SS Freddy Zamora (AAA) OF Jacob Hurtubise (AAA) OF Luis Matos (AAA) As for the discrepancies vs. our list, BA lists Bryse Wilson, which was a technicality over the timing of Wilson's selection of free agency. Also, this was our September 8th post about the Brewers signing LHP Ben Moore, who never did appear in a game for the organization. As for names we had that BA does not, it's 26-year-old Jonathan Ornelas, who until we see listed as a free agent, is apparently still in Milwaukee's organization. It's quite possible he signed a minor league contract that now covers the 2027 season.

Tuesday Box Score Scottsdale was drubbed 8-0 to fall to 12-11 on the season. Matthew Wood (.281/.489/.344) was 1-for-4 with a double as the DH. Eric Bitonti and Jett Williams idle, as was Braylon Payne, who has seen very limited action as of late. LHP Jose Meneses tossed a 1-2-3 9th inning with two K's. Next game is Wednesday; Scottsdale plays a home game at 8:30 Central. It'll be available to view via MLB's app and MiLB's streaming AFL page. You can follow the AFL Gameday / Box here.
