After they traded away their third base depth chart last week, it was widely expected that the Brewers would add someone to the mix in their infield. Without doing so, Milwaukee would enter the season relying on a whole bunch of promising prospects who have never played a meaningful number of games above Double-A. Remember, […]

While Brandon Sproat is my pick to be the next Brewers “pitching lab” success story, I started writing that article before the Brewers traded for left-hander Kyle Harrison (4.09 ERA in 2025). Harrison — the main piece acquired in the trade that sent Caleb Durbin to Boston— might have an even more intriguing profile. He’s […]

We’re back with another daily question on this unseasonably warm Sunday! We asked a few weeks ago which prospect you’re most looking forward to seeing this spring, and on Friday, Dave covered a few dark horse roster candidates, which got me thinking: Which non-roster invite has the best chance of making the Brewers? There are […]

Dylan Ross had such a good year in the minors in 2025 that he put himself on the prospect map here at Amazin’ Avenue, ranking 18th on our list of the team’s top 25 prospects. And that was before the Mets’ trade that sent Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat to the Brewers, which effectively bumped […]

The Cubs have reportedly agreed to a two-year deal with veteran right-handed reliever Shelby Miller. Fansided’s Robert Murray was reportedly first with the news. Miller, 35, pitched quite effectively last year with the Diamondbacks, posting a 1.98 ERA and ten saves in 37 games before he was traded to the Brewers at the trade deadline, […]

The Milwaukee Brewers traded away their entire third base depth chart on Monday. It seemed they were going to be in need of bringing in additional infield depth right as spring training was getting started. They were left with just David Hamilton as the only infielder as an option at third base on the 40-man […]

Every year it seems like there is at least one player who enters spring training nowhere near the roster picture that just goes on an incredible run to earn a spot on the team or at least come very close. The Brewers have seen this happen time and time again. From Vinny Capra to Eric […]

We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: Are any Brewers “untouchable” in trade talks? The Brewers have become a franchise known for trading away players before their team-friendly contracts come to an end. In recent years, that list has grown to include Corbin Burnes, Josh Hader, Devin Williams, Freddy Peralta, and more. […]

People who closely follow the Brewers have been wondering: when is William Contreras’ arbitration hearing? In January, the two sides were separated by $1.35 million and did not come to an agreement. We’ve been waiting for news since then, especially in the last two weeks, as the remaining arbitration cases have been heard. Well, Contreras […]

The Brewers put together a historical season in 2025. They won a franchise-record 97 games and broke their postseason losing streak, advancing to the NLCS for the first time since 2018. Though the postseason run ended with a thud, it was an overall positive year for the team. With the full core of the team […]

Down a rabbit hole of things that didn’t happen, the Red Sox apparently made several attempts to acquire Zach Neto from the Angels before pivoting and trading with the Brewers for Caleb Durbin. This was confirmed by Sean McAdam earlier this week, and from there, Tyler Milliken was asking the right question. Neto is one […]

We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: What is the Brewers’ biggest weakness? While the Brewers led the majors in wins last season, finishing with a franchise-best 97-65 record, the team completely fell apart in the NLCS against the Dodgers, losing the series 4-0 as they were outscored 15-4, scoring exactly one […]

The Milwaukee Brewers entered the offseason with a potential need at backup catcher. Danny Jansen was hitting free agency and was unlikely to return, ultimately signing with the Texas Rangers. That left just William Contreras and prospect Jeferson Quero as the only catchers on the 40-man roster. While Quero is still viewed by many as […]

Milwaukee’s pitching development staff has a reputation around the league as a “pitching lab.” As an organization, the Brewers have done a great job of developing pitchers with talent who were either unheralded or underperformed previously. In 2024, Tobias Myers turned into arguably the Brewers’ best starting pitcher. In 2025, Quinn Priester didn’t lose a […]

I’ll have a more detailed look into the other four teams in the NL Central coming up soon. But today, I simply want you to give your gut feelings about the Brewers, Reds, Pirates and Cardinals. How will the division wind up this year? We can get an idea of how these teams line up […]

It has been a long winter — and who are we kidding, most of us are in Wisconsin, where it may yet feel like winter for another two months — but we’ve finally made it to the first real day on the 2026 baseball calendar. Brewers’ pitchers and catchers report to spring training today, and […]

Late this evening, ESPN’s Jess Rogers broke the news that the Colorado Rockies signed Jose Quintana: The 37-year-old lefty spent 2025 with the Milwaukee Brewers on a one-year, $4.25 million contract. In 131 2/3 innings, Quintana logged 24 starts and finished with a 3.96 ERA. According to Baseball Savant, Quintana has a five-pitch arsenal: sinker […]

We’re back with another daily question, and today’s is a look at yesterday’s deal between the Brewers and the Red Sox. In a deal just about nobody saw coming, the Crew sent three infielders (Caleb Durbin, Andruw Monasterio, and Anthony Seigler) and a draft pick (No. 67 overall) to the Red Sox for a pair […]

Who’s on third? I don’t know. An Abbott & Costello sketch has turned into reality for the Milwaukee Brewers after Monday’s trade with the Boston Red Sox. The Brewers had seven different players spend time at third base last season. The leading returner at the position is Sal Frelick, who played one inning in one […]

In exchange for left-handers Shane Drohan and Kyle Harrison and infielder David Hamilton, Boston acquired infielders Caleb Durbin and Andruw Monasterio and infielder/catcher Anthony Seigler from Milwaukee, the club announced. Additionally, the Red Sox received … Continue reading "Which prospect did Red Sox send to Brewers in six-player trade for Caleb Durbin?"

Matt Arnold has certainly earned the benefit of the doubt. In his time as the Brewers’ general manager, he’s swung a few trades that have worked out swimmingly for the Brewers. One of those happens to be last offseason’s trade for Caleb Durbin, who became an integral part of a team that led the league […]
