    Winter League Action from Friday, January 13th Catcher Brian Navarreto was 0-for-4 as his team dropped a 6-5 game in Puerto Rico despite scoring four runs in the bottom of the 9th. He was pinch-hit for representing the game's last chance with men on 1st and 3rd. The pinch-hitter struck out. One stolen base against. RHP Matt Hardy tossed yet another 1-2-3 inning, fanning one, in Caguas' 10-1 win. Hardy's teammate, old friend starting RHP Bowden Francis (Blue Jays) continued a sensational winter in Puerto Rico.

    Arcia played in 64 games in his "age 16" season in 2011 (turned 17 in August), posting an .845 OPS in the Dominican. He lost the entire 2012 season due to a broken ankle before jumping directly to low-A Wisconsin for 120 games in '13 (.647 OPS, flashed his athleticism despite 23 errors). At the time, missing out on an entire year of development seemed huge but hardly insurmountable.

    Sunday 1/8: Latest Milwaukee Tailgate Podcast - "The Brewers finally signed a major league free agent, so the guys talked all about what Wade Miley means for the team, as well as the Bryse Wilson and Joseph Hernandez additions. Alex Claudio even got mentioned! Also discussed were ZiPS projections and the BFIB." *** Monday 1/9: Via The Brew Crew Review: "Podcast #178- Brewers sign old friend Wade Miley" *** Wednesday 1/11: Via Locked on Brewers: "Crossover with Locked on Orioles: Trade scenarios"

    As first reported here: And then available in reported article form here, if your browser supports translation: 28-year-old RHP Pedro Fernandez was a Kansas City Royal farmhand from 2012 through 2018, after which he qualified for minor league free agency. In those seven seasons, which topped out at AAA Omaha, Fernandez appeared in 150 games, 64 as a starter, posting a 3.50 ERA and 1.234 WHIP. The native of the Dominican Republic would pitch in the offensively charged Mexican League in 2019 (13 appearances, five of them starts), struggling to an 8.27 ERA. Fernandez did not pitch in 2020 (understandable), nor 2021, before resurfacing back in Mexico this past season, where he pitched well enough with Tigres de Quintana Roo, leading the entire league in strikeouts, making 17 starts (4.42 ERA). Likely also catching the Brewers eye, Fernandez has made ten starts with a 2.50 ERA in Dominican Winter Ball and made the winter league All-Star Team with Gigantes del Cibao. He continues to pitch with them in the league's postseason round robin. Need video? How about very recent video? Via MLB Film Room, a good luck at Fernandez' pitch mix in a six-inning start highlight package from January 4th in the DWL.

    Early Sunday AM: Brisbane (yay) 9, Adelaide 7 Bandits led 9-2 heading into the bottom of the 9th, then held on for dear life. There should have been no need for RH closer James Meeker and his 0.00 ERA to toss 15 pitches for the save, but he did. Meeker did allow an inherited runner to score on a double, but a K ended things as Meeker retired two of the three men he faced. Unfortunately, the pitcher Meeker had to rescue was LHP Justin King, who just didn't have it on this day - King allowed one run on three singles in the 8th. But in the 9th, after a leadoff groundout, it was BB-BB-HBP-two run double-two run single. At the plate, second baseman Bob Moore (.900 OPS) reached three times, 1-for-4, two BB, two R, one K). He did commit a fielding error (4th in 32 games). Catcher Darrien Miller (.804 OPS) was 0-for-3 but walked twice, R, RBI, one K. Two Giants base stealers were successful. *** For Perth's Alex Hall (who was the DH in their ten-inning 8-5 loss), it was an 0-for-2 effort but with three walks (R, RBI, one K). Hall's OPS is at a shiny 1.063 after 109 AB's.

    Winter League Action from Saturday, January 7th RHP Arnaldo Hernandez – wonderful performance earning a hold in a 3-2 Venezuelan League win. Stranded two inherited runners in the 6th, then a clean inning of his own - 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K, faced the minimum thanks to a GIDP C Brian Navarreto - Also in a 3-2 win (Puerto Rico), 0-for-3 with an RBI via a sac fly RHP Matt Hardy - Pitched a 1-2-3 5th (one K) in relief of former organizational mate RHP Bowden Francis (TOR), who pitched well himself. However, their Puerto Rico Caguas team lost this playoff matchup by a 2-1 score.

    With a bit of help from MLB Trade Rumors, let's see if we can list those eight MKE-SEA deals in the Jerry DiPoto era. DiPoto joined Seattle for the 2015-16 offseason, so this timeline lines up nicely with the David Stearns - Matt Arnold regime. 11/20/15 - Brewers acquired OF Ramon Flores in exchange for INF Luis Sardinas 12/09/15 - Brewers acquired RHPs Freddy Peralta, Carlos Herrera and Daniel Missaki in exchange for 1B Adam Lind 12/21/18 - Brewers acquired OF Ben Gamel and RHP Noah Zavolas in exchange for OF Domingo Santana 04/14/19 - Brewers acquired C David Freitas in exchange for RHP Sal Biasi 12/05/19 - Brewers acquired C Omar Narvaez in exchange for RHP Adam Hill and a Competitive Balance Draft pick (became RHP Connor Phillips) 05/02/21 - Acquired C Jacob Nottingham in exchange for cash considerations 12/02/22 - Brewers acquired OF/DH Jesse Winker and INF Abraham Toro in exchange for 2B Kolten Wong 01/07/23 - Brewers acquired RHP Joseph Hernandez in exchange for RHP Justin Topa

    First, a link to the 2022 Post All-Star Break Transaction Thread The first transaction of 2023 has merited a thread of its own, which is fine, as we'd prefer this thread to focus almost solely on the transaction notations themselves.

    Hardy's teammate in Puerto Rico is starting RHP Bowden Francis (part of the Rowdy Tellez trade), who pitched four innings here - 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 7 K, 1 HBP Although he was outrighted off Toronto's 40-man roster in June, he remains a Blue Jay, and was just featured here for his lights-out work this winter (and actually ever since his outright):
