Despite being a 32nd round pick, Bradley Blalock (Baseball Cube page) signed for $250,000 out of a Georgia high school. The Christmas baby will be 23 years old this winter.

Sibrian already signed an extended year contract to come back for 2023, his 8th season in the system. He likely would be of interest to other organizations, and his agent would be wise to explore offers. Perhaps the Brewers sweeten things enough, and Sibrian's level of familiarity is so well-established, that he comes back for season #9 with the Crew.

LHP Brian Fitzpatrick reinstated from 60-day injured list and activated on Carolina's roster (had been rehabbing from Tommy John in Maryvale) INF Jesus Parra released from the Carolina roster (Parra signed on his 16th birthday in August 2018 for $210,000. This season was his first with a full-season affiliate, .646 OPS in 164 plate appearances with the Mudcats, primarily playing first base and at DH after rookie-level work mainly at third base). With Fitzpatrick coming off the 60-day list, another player had to come off the organizational roster in order to not be above the 180-player stateside limit.

Dylan O’Rae’s 11-for-17 week landed him on this list:

Here are the players the Brewers could lose in the 2023 Rule 5 draft. The team will put together a list of players protected at the "AAA" level (a maximum of 38), regardless of the last level played seen below. Players not included on that list could be taken in the Minor League phase of Rule 5, and the selecting team simply then owns that player, they won't be returned under any circumstances. There are 48 names listed below. In determining who they may wish to expose to that minor league phase, it may not necessarily be the furthest away from the higher levels. Organizations have exposed players to the minor league phase at times as a de-facto favor, perhaps giving them a new opportunity, while still retaining them as depth pieces if not selected. Currently at: Nashville INF/OF Noah Campbell RHP Harold Chirino INF Cam Devanney INF Patrick Dorrian INF Yonny Hernandez OF Brewer Hicklen LHP Jared Koenig RHP Easton McGee RHP Evan McKendry RHP Tobias Myers C Brian Navarreto RHP Enoli Paredes LHP Adam Seminaris Biloxi LHP Nick Bennett INF/OF Isaac Collins C Nick Kahle LHP Brandon Knarr 1B Ernesto Martinez RHP Christian Mejias OF Carlos D.

These players will become minor league free agents this fall unless added to the 40-man roster or signed to a new minor league contract. Currently at: Nashville LHP Fernando Abad RHP Jason Alexander (signed with Boston on 2/26) RHP Caleb Boushley (signed with Minnesota on 1/26) RHP Luis Contreras (signed with Houston on 11/26, received an invite to big league spring camp) C Payton Henry (signed with Toronto on 12/9, received an invite to big league spring camp) RHP Tyler Herb C Brian Navarreto (re-signed with Milwaukee) Biloxi RHP Harold Chirino (re-signed with Milwaukee) RHP Max Lazar (signed with Philadelphia on 12/8) 1B Ernesto Martinez (signed a new minor league deal 11/7) RHP Cam Robinson (signed with New York Mets on 12/14, received an invite to big league spring camp) Wisconsin LHP Karlos Morales

Sunday 7/30:Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: " The Brewers added a new bat in Carlos Santana, and he homered over the weekend, but that didn't change a brutal three-game showing against the Braves. Now outside of first place, what else will Milwaukee be cooking up at the trade deadline? Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak and JR Radcliffe discuss the deadline, the new addition and what takeaways can be gleaned from the three-game sweep at the hands of Atlanta. Will Julio Teheran and Jesse Winker play another game this year for the Brewers? How scary are the Cubs now? Plus: Justin Wilson goes down before he can throw a pitch and we once again ask our favorite question: Whither Keston Hiura? In 3Up3Down, they chat about Freddy Peralta's 13-strikeout gem, Christian Yelich and Sal Frelick staying red hot and Brandon Woodruff getting closer to a return. Speaking of Woodruff, Remembrew When looks back at Woodruff's (non-)debut, when he also suffered an injury in the bullpen. Then, JR chats with Frelick (47:30), who followed up his thrilling debut last week with his first career home run this week, another defensive gem and steady performances at the dish. They discuss his football career, his thumb injury that sidetracked him this season and much more."***Postgame Shows for Brewers 8-6 loss to Atlanta --Locked on Brewers with Chuck Freimund - "A bad weekend for the Brewers and trade winds swirling on Eloy Jimenez"Via 97.3's Baseball Postgame Show - Tim Allen hostsWTMJ with Dom Cotroneo: - Jeff Cirillo is the guest
