Latest news and updates about the Brewers
The Royals are making moves, and this episode breaks down what they really mean. Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco are joined by Thomas Nestico (TJ Stats) to analyze one of the most surprising trades of the offseason, as the Kansas City Royals strike a deal with the Milwaukee Brewers that could quietly pay dividends. The […]
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 […]
Jaylon Thompson writes about the Royals acquiring Isaac Collins and Nick Mears from the Brewers for Angel Zerpa. “We were in the market for an outfield bat, and you know, through our process we started having conversations with Milwaukee,” Picollo said. “And immediately, it centered around Zerpa, and we still felt like we need to […]
From Dodger killer turned Dodger, the 2021 NLCS MVP Eddie Rosario appeared in just two games with the Dodgers at the big league level in April before bouncing around between the Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers minor league systems. Rosario was coming off a disappointing 2024 season where he spent time between the Washington Nationals […]
The Royals may have finally made their big move for an outfield bat, and it didn’t cost Cole Ragans. It also didn’t cost Noah Cameron or even Kris Bubic. Isaac Collins is a switch-hitter who primarily played left field with a little bit of right field and even a couple of innings at second and […]
Early this morning at The Athletic, Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon wrote: “The Milwaukee Brewers are looking to trade off their outfield depth, most likely by moving Isaac Collins or Blake Perkins for a reliever with minor-league options remaining.” And what do you know , tonight, the Milwaukee Brewers have traded Isaac Collins and Nick Mears to the Royals for 26-year-old left-handed reliever Angel Zerpa … who has an option year remaining. Robert Murray on the news: Isaac Collins is...
Another shoe has dropped in the wake of the Brewers’ signing of Akil Baddoo: Isaac Collins, last year’s primary left fielder for much of the season, has been traded to the Kansas City Royals, along with Nick Mears, who pitched 76 times for the Brewers since arriving at the 2024 trade deadline. Coming back to […]
The National League Central is consistently one of the more exciting divisions in baseball, and even though the Brewers have found themselves on top each of the last three and four of the last five seasons, there are still plenty of doubters. While the Brewers have mostly stood pat this offseason, their NL Central foes […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Earlier this week, it was reported by Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic that the San Francisco Giants are one of five teams that are pursuing trade talks with the Milwaukee Brewers for RHP Freddy Peralta. Peralta, 29, is coming off of a career-best 2025 season that he finished […]
The Brewers have made their first major league move in the 2026 free agent market. According to Ken Rosenthal, the Brewers are signing outfielder Akil Baddoo to a major league deal. The major league nature of the deal is somewhat of a surprise, given that Baddoo spent almost all of last season in the minors. […]
David Stearns was hired as general manager of the Milwaukee Brewers in September 2015, promoted to president of baseball operations in 2019, and served in that capacity until he stepped down in October 2022. During that period of time, he oversaw multiple Rule 5 drafts and made three picks during the major league portion of […]
Dodgers catcher Will Smith will return to play for the United States in the 2026 World Baseball Classic, Team USA manager Mark DeRosa said on MLB Network on Tuesday morning. Smith was one of four players announced for Team USA on Tuesday, along with Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber, Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson, and Brewers […]
As expected, despite earlier denials, the rumors about the Brewers possibly trading starter Freddy Peralta continue to tick up. The starting pitcher market in free agency and trade is sufficiently robust that I do wonder whether the Brewers would be able to get the kind of huge return they’re undoubtedly seeking. But they were always going to listen. It’s the M.O. So, with that in mind, it’s also unsurprising to learn that Peralta is not the only significant Brewers pitcher drawing trade ...
After more than a month of voting, we’ve reached the end of our 2025 MVBrewers rankings. Closing out our group of 10 is first baseman Andrew Vaughn, another midseason addition and the fourth consecutive newcomer to close out our list, coming in behind Quinn Priester, Caleb Durbin, and Abner Uribe (who has been with the […]
The Mets have called the Brewers about 32-year-old right-handed reliever Trevor Megill, according to Joel Sherman, who reports that the Yankees are also among the teams to have shown interest in Tylor Megill’s older brother. The elder Megill has spent the past three seasons with the Brewers, and he’s been very good over that span. […]
Esteury Ruiz began his 2025 season with the Athletics organization before being acquired by the Dodgers on April 2. He spent most of the season with the Triple-A Oklahoma City Comets but managed to find some time with the big league squad. A former top prospect with the San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers, Ruiz […]
The cold certainly tests your commitment to taking a walk outside every day, no matter what. Matthew Boyd, in addition to announcing his spot on Team USA , talked on Foul Territory about what happened in Game One of the NLDS, and how, from his perspective, it had nothing to do with pitching on short rest or anything like that: Matthew Boyd says his rough outing in Game 1 of the NLDS had nothing to do with short rest. "They [the Brewers] just got me." pic.twitter.com/7EBaEbvaCp &m...
While the Brewers have a young and talented roster, improvements can always be made. GM Matt Arnold has shown that he’s unafraid to make a move during the Winter Meetings if the right offer presents itself. Maybe Arnold will want to bring in some competition, or a platoon player, for shortstop Joey Ortiz going into […]
After an impressive 2025 season, Brice Turang has become one of the cornerstones for the Brewers. He led the team in fWAR this season and was voted #2 in our MVBrewers poll this offseason. The Brewers still have four more years of control for Turang, but they are also approaching a critical point in his […]
Will Brewers trade Freddy Peralta this offseason? It may not matter. They lost their president of Baseball Operations, David Stearns, to the Mets. They lost their manager, Craig Counsell, to the Cubs. They traded their two elite closers, Josh Hader (to the Astros) and Devin Williams (to the Yankees). They traded their ace, Corbin Burnes, to the Orioles. And they lost their star shortstop, Willy Adames, to the Giants in free agency. None of it mattered. No matter how many times the Milwauk...
Two former Brewers (one a major leaguer, the other a top prospect) picked up major free agents deals in the last two days, as former closer Devin Williams signed with the New York Mets and former farmhand Cody Ponce signed with the Toronto Blue Jays. Let’s take a look at both of these players, one […]
The reliever market is starting to move after a very slow month of November. The New York Mets got on the ball quickly, adding long-time Brewers closer Devin Williams on Monday, while the Baltimore Orioles signed Ryan Helsley last week after the Tigers had been linked as one of many teams interested in the hard-throwing […]
As the Winter Meetings are just days away, the closer market in free agency continues to be red hot. The Mets signed former Brewers and Yankees closer Devin Williams to a 3 year deal on Monday. So the three NL East Powers now have Jhoan Duran, Rasiel Iglesias, and Williams as their closers. It will […]
After Quinn Priester took our No. 7 spot on Friday, another newcomer slots in at No. 8 in our MVBrewers rankings. Rookie Caleb Durbin claims that spot, as he picked up 11 votes from the BCB community, beating out Abner Uribe’s five votes and two votes apiece for Chad Patrick and Andrew Vaughn. Durbin, who […]
According to recent reporting from The Athletic’s MLB Staff (Will Sammon, Ken Rosenthal, and Katie Woo), the Brewers are “fretting over their payroll.” Here’s the full blurb: In what has become an annual rite of autumn, the Milwaukee Brewers are fretting over their payroll, according to people briefed on their plans. The possibility exists that […]
