Latest news and updates about the Brewers
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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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.

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.

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 […]
