Leading the decline of Brewers blogs but with the best Junior Guerra content.
Yesterday, Brandon Woodruff accepted his qualifying offer. He is guaranteed a $22.025 million contract for the 2026 season and will be back with the Brewers. It’s a welcome sight for fans of Woodruff, who will stay with the organization he has been with his whole career. While this will improve the rotation outlook for 2026, […]
Brandon Woodruff accepted his qualifying offer with the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday, bringing the righty back to the team for the 2026 season. The deal is for a one-year, $22.025 million contract. It’s another opportunity to see Woodruff with the Crew as he prepares to begin his age-33 season. Woodruff’s value next season might largely […]
In our closest voting result yet, outfielder Sal Frelick slots into the four-spot on our 2025 MVBrewers list. The BCB community voted for Frelick with nine votes in The Feed, barely outpacing Christian Yelich, who received eight votes (FWIW, I was one of the nine who voted for Frelick). Jackson Chourio received three votes, while […]
Today, ballots were mailed out to the voting members of the Baseball Writers Association of America, the group that elects players to the Hall of Fame. We’re going to take a quick look through the new and returning players on the ballot, with special attention paid to those who have ties to Milwaukee. This article’s […]
Second baseman Brice Turang was, by most measures, the Brewers’ best hitter in 2025. Turang was named to the All-MLB Second Team after posting 5.6 bWAR and slashing .288/.359/.435, all career highs. His batting average and OPS+ were also both tied for the best among Brewers’ regulars (excluding Andrew Vaughn, who had less than half […]
With Sunday night’s news that Josh Naylor signed a five-year free agent deal to remain in Seattle, the 2025-26 baseball offseason is officially in full swing. Over the next couple weeks, we here at Brew Crew Ball will be looking at various areas on the roster, looking at how extensive the team’s need is in […]
Comeback Player of the Year: Jacob deGrom (AL), Ronald Acuña Jr. (NL) DeGrom was the best pitcher on the planet for a few years, winning back-to-back Cy Young Awards in 2018 and 2019 as a member of the New York Mets. After injuries derailed his last couple of years in New York, deGrom signed with […]
Brewers’ catcher William Contreras slots in at No. 3 in our 2025 MVBrewers rankings, behind Freddy Peralta and Brice Turang, respectively. The BCB community voted for Contreras with 18 votes in The Feed, compared to one vote for Jackson Chourio and one vote for Quinn Priester. Contreras, who turns 28 this offseason, took a very […]
Starting in 2019, MLB began awarding two “All-MLB” teams, similar to the long-standing All-Pro teams that the NFL awards at the end of its season. These teams, a first team and a second team (regardless of league), are designed to reward the best players at each position. Each All-MLB teams consist of a catcher, one […]
With the Brewers’ excellent 2025 season that defied expectations, President of Baseball Operations Matt Arnold was a heavy favorite to take home the MLB Executive of the Year award. That was confirmed during the MLB Awards show tonight, as Arnold was named Executive of the Year for the second straight year. He is the first […]
Welp, it was another great day for the big spenders, as the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees went home with some more hardware. MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani took home his third consecutive MVP award, including his second with the Dodgers, on Thursday night. On the AL side, Aaron Judge took home his […]
Colorado Rockies closer Seth Halvorsen was drafted in the seventh round out of the University of Tennessee back in 2023 and pitched well enough in two months with the Rockies organization to earn two promotions, the second to Double-A. By August 2024, he was in the big leagues. This snowballed into a good amount of […]
For the second year in a row, the top of each league’s Cy Young ballot was more-or-less a foregone conclusion. Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers and Paul Skenes of the Pittsburgh Pirates have taken home the AL and NL Cy Young Awards, respectively. For Skenes, this is a coronation of sorts. Last season, there […]
After a second straight season in which the Milwaukee Brewers far outperformed preseason expectations, their manager, Pat Murphy, has been rewarded with the National League’s Manager of the Year Award. Former Brewer catcher Stephen Vogt won the award in the American League. Both men won this award last season. Prior to the 2025 season, the […]
After Freddy Peralta slotted into the top spot in our rankings last week, we’re back with the No. 2 spot today. The BCB community voted for second baseman Brice Turang in the second spot, as Turang garnered 13 votes in The Feed, compared to seven votes for William Contreras and one vote apiece for Quinn […]
After bringing up young players like Brice Turang, Sal Frelick, and Jackson Chourio in recent years, the Brewers had another feature in this year’s Rookie of the Year in Caleb Durbin. Earning a regular spot from the get-go, Durbin’s campaign placed him among fellow National League finalists Drake Baldwin, the catcher for the Atlanta Braves, […]
Bold Predictions Paul Dietrich: The Brewers have three outfielders in the All-Star Game To be fair, I didn’t really buy this when I made this prediction in March, BUT: I was pretty wrong. The Brewers did have three All-Stars, but they were all pitchers (Trevor Megill, Freddy Peralta, and Jacob Misiorowski). Christian Yelich was at […]
By popular demand, I’ve flipped these rankings back to ranking from the top down, with the BCB community able to weigh in via The Feed. We’re kicking off the rankings of the Brewers’ 10 most valuable players in 2025 with staff ace Freddy Peralta. Peralta finished the season with 5.5 bWAR and 3.6 fWAR, good […]
The Milwaukee Brewers had three finalists up for Silver Slugger awards as the best hitter at their respective positions this year, but when the awards were announced on Thursday, they were shut out. It wasn’t especially surprising, when considering the players that Milwaukee’s three finalists were up against. The first of the Brewers’ finalists was […]
After making their remaining option decisions and releasing their spring training schedule yesterday, we have more Brewers offseason news for you today. The first is pretty big: Brandon Woodruff was one of 13 players to receive a qualifying offer before Thursday’s deadline. The Brewers already paid Woodruff a $10 million buyout when he declined his […]
What goes up must come down. Since I just wrote an article ranking the five best Brewers games of the season, here are the five worst. No, I didn’t include every NLCS game. #5: August 25th — Giants 4, Brewers 3 This game, as some of you may remember, was the celebration of life in […]
We’ve got a couple of small newsy items for you today. First: the Brewers have re-upped with Main Street Sports Group, which owns FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin, for the 2026 season. What this means for you is that, as of now, nothing will change in how games are distributed. FanDuel Sports Network will continue to […]
Despite falling short of a World Series berth, the Brewers had one of their most successful seasons in years. Milwaukee won 97 games (including two 11-plus game win streaks) for the first time in franchise history and beat their division rivals, the Chicago Cubs, in the NLDS. Since there were also a lot of exciting […]
The Milwaukee Brewers this afternoon made their final option decisions (which needed to be made by Thursday). There are no real surprises, though one of those decisions could have gone either way: The Hoskins and Quintana decisions were no-brainers. Hoskins was the Brewers’ best hitter by the time the season reached late May, but as […]
On Monday, the Brewers released their schedule for the 2026 regular season. A few notable games are below, but before we get to that, there’s a new twist in game times: all of Milwaukee’s weekday home games will now start at 6:40 p.m. In 2025, Friday games started at 7:10 p.m., while games on Monday […]
