Freddy Peralta is having one of the best seasons of his career, boasting a 2.60 ERA, high strikeout totals, and affordable contract control through 2026. But with the Brewers' recent track record of dealing stars while still competing, his name could end up floating in trade talks as we get closer to the deadline. Will Milwaukee push for the playoffs or flip their ace for a huge prospect haul? The next few weeks will tell us.

When the 2025 season kicked off, it felt like the Brewers’ rotation was barely hanging on — injuries everywhere, and things looked rough. But now, just two months in, that same group has quietly turned into one of the most reliable rotations in baseball. Freddy Peralta held things down, and guys like Chad Patrick, Logan Henderson, and Quinn Priester stepped up when nobody really expected them to. And the best part? Reinforcements are still on the way. How’d this all happen so fast? It wasn’t an accident.

As May wraps up, two Brewers starters, Chad Patrick and Logan Henderson, are quietly making noise in the NL Rookie of the Year race. Neither came in with hype, but both are forcing their way into the conversation with some very solid outings. One’s been steady, the other dominant. The rookie field isn’t stacked this year, so if there’s a chance to sneak in and steal the award, now’s the time. We’ll break down what they’ve done and whether one of these under-the-radar pitchers could actually pull it off.

The Brewers’ left side of the infield has been a clear weak spot all season. Early on, there was hope that someone like Oliver Dunn or Caleb Durbin could step up at third, but that hasn’t worked out. Shortstop hasn’t been any better, with Joey Ortiz statistically being the worst hitter in baseball. The organization has a couple of internal options in Nashville, but they come with concerns; either they haven’t played much third recently, or haven’t proven themselves. The farm system has talent, but nobody’s quite ready yet, which puts pressure on the front office to explore the trade market. Rather than going after big-name stars, the Brewers could target former top prospects or under-the-radar players who may need a change of scenery.

The Brewers always seem to have an arm step up in their bullpen and this year’s no different. While plenty of guys have been solid, Nick Mears has quietly become one the most important arm in the bullpen. Some fans predicted a breakout, no one saw him having numbers this good.He’s been nearly untouchable so far in 2025, with a microscopic ERA and barely letting anyone on base. And it’s not just empty stats—he’s been nails in high leverage moments, getting out of big jams and protecting leads. His path to Milwaukee hasn’t exactly been smooth. He wasn’t drafted, bounced around a few teams, and honestly looked like just another guy at first. But something clicked, and now he’s dropped the curveball that was getting crushed and simplified his approach—just fastballs and sliders. It’s working. In a bullpen full of firepower, Mears has quietly become the steady hand. Outside of Milwaukee, most fans probably still don’t know his name—but if the Brewers make a serious run, he’s going to be a big reason why.

Joey Ortiz hasn’t found his swing yet this season, but given his profile and the Brewers’ youth movement, this slow start might be more expected than it seems. Joey Ortiz’s first month as the Brewers’ starting shortstop hasn’t gone how anyone hoped. He’s batting under .200, hasn’t shown any power, and the strikeouts are piling up. But if you’ve followed his track record, this isn’t totally unexpected. Ortiz was always known more for his glove than his bat, and stepping into Willy Adames’ shoes, while carrying the weight of being the return for Corbin Burnes, is no small task. The defense is there, and that’s kept him in the lineup. The Brewers are clearly committed to giving their young guys a shot, and Ortiz still fits that long-term vision. Fans are right to be frustrated, but it’s early.

Quinn Priester and Chad Patrick have shown up early for the Brewers with an injury-hindered rotation. Priester, a former first-round pick, has had some moments of brilliance amid the ongoing command issues, while Chad Patrick has screamed excellent control and poise after thriving in Triple-A. Statistically, these two may not stand the test of time but have already made an impact when the team needed them, giving Milwaukee some solid depth and future potential.

Some might only be paying attention to the top prospects in the organization but we may all need to keep an eye on these players after their starts to the season. For example, a player like Josh Adamczewski isn’t a top 50 Brewers prospect to some, yet he may be off the best start out of everybody. Of course Craig Yoho and Jacob Misiorowski are doing what they always do but let’s also focus on the guys who don’t always get the national spotlight.

Brice Turang has come out on fire in 2025. He’s opened the season with a ten game hitting streak, already has two homers (second most on the team), and is getting on base at a higher rate than last year. Giving him a great chance to break last year’s mark of 50 stolen bases, third in MLB. The defense is still elite as always, the bat was the biggest question, but if he keeps hitting like this, Turang’s not just a key piece, he’s an All-Star in the making.

The Brewers may not be World Series favorites, but they’re built to win. With six playoff appearances in the last seven years, they know how to get there, and in a weaker NL Central, 90 wins (or less) could do the trick. Their rotation is playoff-ready, featuring Nestor Cortes’ experience, Jose Quintana’s October dominance, and a potential ace in a healthy Brandon Woodruff. The lineup packs plenty of punch with William Contreras, Rhys Hoskins, and a breakout threat in Jackson Chourio, while Christian Yelich could be an MVP force if he stays healthy. Add in elite defense from Brice Turang and Sal Frelick, and the Brewers have everything they need to make a serious run.

The Milwaukee Brewers are setting new standards for stolen bases, with Brice Turang emerging as a potential future leader in the category. After reaching 50 stolen bases in 2024, Turang could challenge all-time records, potentially even Joe Morgan’s 689 steals. Despite a dip in his on-base percentage in the second half of the season, Turang's speed remains a key asset, and if he maintains 50 steals per year, he could surpass Morgan's record in 14 seasons. The Brewers' overall base-stealing strategy is thriving, with multiple players contributing. Alongside Turang, others like Caleb Durbin, Garrett Mitchell, and Jackson Chourio are expected to bring speed to the team. Even Christian Yelich, if healthy, could add significantly to the team's total. The Brewers finished 2024 with 217 stolen bases, just shy of the league-leading Nationals. Under manager Pat Murphy, the team has embraced a high-risk, high-reward approach to base running, improving both their offense and success rate. While stolen bases alone don’t guarantee success, the Brewers’ aggressive style could play a key role in their pursuit of a World Series title.

Tyler Black, a first-round pick by the Brewers in 2021, has consistently impressed with his hitting, plate discipline, and base-stealing ability, earning recognition as a top 50 prospect. However, the Brewers have mishandled his development. After a strong MLB debut in 2024, Black played only seven games before being sent down. His second call-up was even shorter, lasting just five games with limited at-bats. Despite continued success in the minors, Black was repeatedly sent back down to make room for other players, like Garrett Mitchell. By 2025, Black has no clear starting role or even a guaranteed spot on the roster, as the Brewers only see him as a first baseman or DH. The Brewers have to give Black a consistent opportunity or trade him.

Willy Adames is no longer with the Brewers, and rather than making a blockbuster move to replace his bat, the team is considering more affordable options. However, it's uncertain whether these options will have the same impact. Caleb Durbin and Oliver Dunn will face a significant challenge in 2025. Their performances could end up being one of the deciding factors into a 3rd straight division title. View full video
