The following has been added to the initial post in this thread - RHP Travis MacGregor - Signed as a minor league free agent on 8/9 after his 7/29 release by the Rangers, assigned to Biloxi.

Do we know which players dropped off? It was at least five. They really should list those.

The Padres didn't waste much time in placing infielder Jorge Quintana, acquired along with Nestor Cortes and cash in the (at first glance lopsided?) Brandon Lockridge deal, into A-Ball. Quintana, who won't turn 19 until April, was the top money signing (at $1.4 million) in the Brewers 2024 international signing class that included Jesus Made and Luis Pena. Quintana is playing for Lake Elsinore in the offensively-charged California League, starting five games at shortstop thus far. For the Maryvale Brewers in 2025, Quintana started 40 games at short and six at third base. Small sample coming off his .752 Brewers OPS this summer, Quintana is 3-for-19 with a double, two walks, one HBP, 8 K's, 1 SB. His numbers for both organizations, as well as his 2024 figures, are available via the MiLB Player Page link above. Quintana, the switch-hitting Venezuela native, does get to wear one of the cooler hats in all of baseball, however (nothing against the classic Mudcats alternative if he were still a Brewers farmhand).

Sunday 8/10: Latest Milwaukee Tailgate Podcast - "Jaymes and Ryan talked about yet another great week on the heels of a wild sweep of the Mets, assessed the offense and accusations that the Brewers are "lucky," handicapped the ROY and MOY races in the NL and looked ahead to the 2026 OF." Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "How can anyone get enough of these Milwaukee Brewers? Journal Sentinel reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe re-visit the latest perfect week for the best team in baseball, with an unbelievable Mets series and a winning streak of nine games. From Blake Perkins' game-saving throw, William Contreras' re-discovered power stroke, Isaac Collins capping another week with a walk-off, Joey Ortiz's big at-bats and more, the Brewers are in the midst of a summer we may never forget. Do we have any explanation yet? How have the Brewers avoided a drop-off in recent seasons like Minnesota and Baltimore have endured? Is there any small concern in the rotation after a couple injuries? In Three Up Three Down (32:00), the guys remark upon the capitalization of pocket pancakes, a crazy second chance and the sneaky power of Brice Turang. In Remembrew When (51:30), JR looks back at another game-ending defensive play against New York, one perhaps forgotten to time. Curt Blanche (57:30) discusses something else forgotten in the canon of summer treats. Then, JR chats with Badgers basketball player Brad Davison about his basketball career in Spain, early fatherhood and his remaining connection to UW. And why is that on a Brewers podcast, you might ask? Davison was also high-school teammates with Brewers sensation Isaac Collins."
