What would an extension look like for Sal Frelick?

In the Brewers’ core of young players, Sal Frelick has emerged as an integral part of the Brewers outfield. Frelick had been known for his strong defense in his first couple years in the majors. He then took it to the next level in 2025 as he became a threat in the batting order, increasing […]

The Brewers are the bright spot of an overcast Wisconsin sports scene

The Brewers had an amazing season in 2025. They put together a surprise league-leading regular season and rode that into a small playoff run. Most fans would say that everything is looking bright for the team. It’s a positive mark in the Wisconsin sports scene, which doesn’t look as good when you look outside the […]

2025 Player Review: Joe Ross

After spending the 2024 season with the Milwaukee Brewers as a solid swing-man, the Phillies gave Joe Ross a one-year deal for what seemed like a similar role.

Do the Brewers need to add another catcher before the season?

The Milwaukee Brewers’ roster as it stands looks pretty balanced, with plenty of carryover from 2025 and very few clear holes. One potential hole, however, is catching depth. Behind starter William Contreras, the only other catcher currently on the 40-man roster is 23-year-old prospect Jeferson Quero, who hasn’t yet made an MLB appearance. While it’s […]

Cubs position player pitchers: Chris Gimenez

The Cubs had struggled early in 2018, but a 16-7 run from May 27 to June 20 had put them into a first-place tie with the Brewers at 42-29. Then they went on a disastrous road trip to Cincinnati and Los Angeles where they lost six of eight. The third of those games was against […]

What to expect from Milwaukee’s infield in 2026

The Brewers don’t have an infield problem in the way most teams do. There are bodies. There’s versatility. There are multiple paths to a functional 26-man roster without needing a single external move. But heading into 2026, Milwaukee’s infield feels like a classic “depth vs. clarity” situation. They’ve got eight infielders on the 40-man right […]

Remember a Brewer: Dave May

While we wait for substantial news about the Brewers this offseason, we’ve reached the point where I thought it would be fun to take a look back a little bit.

Offseason Rumors: Revisiting potential Brewers outfield targets

The Brewers haven’t made a ton of major moves this offseason, mostly maintaining their roster from the end of 2025 into the new year. Outside of the Ángel Zerpa-Nick Mears-Isaac Collins trade last weekend, Milwaukee’s biggest moves are the signing of Akil Baddoo and the team bringing Brandon Woodruff back on a qualifying offer. But […]

Why Milwaukee thinks they can unlock Ángel Zerpa

Before reading this article, you should check out Paul’s coverage of the Ángel Zerpa trade and Harrison’s article on what to expect from Zerpa.

Yankees Potential Trade Target: Freddy Peralta

Two seasons ago, fresh off a 92-win campaign and an NL Central division title, the Milwaukee Brewers traded their best pitcher. Former Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes, entering his final year before free agency, was dealt to the Orioles for a fairly underwhelming return.

Will the Brewers 2026 rotation have any lefties, and does it matter?

Harrison took an early stab at predicting the Opening Day 26-man roster yesterday, and it got me thinking about something that’s come up in conversations lately, and that’s whether the Brewers will have any left-handed pitchers in their starting rotation. That also led to the question of whether or not it actually matters whether there […]

Woodruff is a […]

A look at the Brewers outfield after the departure of Isaac Collins

On Saturday, the Brewers traded outfielder Isaac Collins and reliever Nick Mears to the Kansas City Royals for pitcher Ángel Zerpa. That has a lot of implications for the bullpen, obviously (check out Harrison’s look at Zerpa), but Collins also started almost four times as many games in left field than any other Brewer outfielder […]
