Latest news and updates about the Brewers
The World Baseball Classic is back in 2026, as Team Japan will look to defend their 2023 title after taking down Team USA in Miami behind Shohei Ohtani and Co. I ran down the Brewers’ participants in this year’s Classic yesterday, but I’m interested in who you think will win this year’s edition. Will Team […]

On January 21, 2026, Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat were traded to the Milwaukee Brewers. This list, and their place on it, was compiled back in late-November. For continuity’s sake, I decided upon including Williams and Sproat’s profile, but for all intents and purposes, every player on our list below the pair can be considered […]

Baseball Prospectus is widely regarded as one of the best sites for prospect analysis. While most major publications have already released their lists of the top prospects in baseball, BP didn’t release theirs until this Wednesday. Four of the five Brewers who made the list are consensus top prospects. The fifth is a recent draftee […]

As Brewers fans, we’ve quickly become used to making it into the postseason. After just four playoff appearances from the franchise’s inception in 1969 (as the Seattle Pilots) through their first 49 seasons, Milwaukee has now made it to October baseball in seven of the last eight seasons, including five NL Central titles. But is […]

When Freddy Peralta was traded from the Brewers, we lost not only a beloved franchise hero, but we also lost one interesting storyline from the season: had Peralta remained a Brewer and been healthy throughout the season, he would’ve passed Yovani Gallardo as the franchise’s all-time leader in strikeouts. As it stands, Peralta is instead […]

Continuing our February Daily Question series, we’re beginning today’s conversation with the question, “When did you become a tried and true Brewer fan? For me, someone born at the turn of the century, I (thankfully) haven’t had to endure many terrible seasons. I fell in love with baseball when I was five, but moreso from […]

Just a few short weeks ago, 18-year-old Brewers left-handed pitching prospect Frank Cairone was hit head-on by a vehicle that ran a stop sign in his home state of New Jersey. Cairone was airlifted to a hospital where he was treated for serious injuries. The road to recovery seemed like it could be very long, […]

Continuing our February Daily Question series, we’re beginning today’s conversation with the question, “What is the thing you’re afraid to say out loud about this team?” For the third consecutive offseason, the Brewers have swapped one of their key pitchers (Corbin Burnes in February 2024, Devin Williams in December 2024, Freddy Peralta this January) to […]

For those of you looking for single-game tickets, all games will go on sale on Thursday, February 12 at 10 a.m. CT. That includes […]

After the Brewers chose to exit their contract with Main Street Sports Group (the parent company for FanDuel Sports Network), they were looking for a new broadcast partner for the upcoming season. Yesterday, they announced that MLB will produce and distribute their broadcasts in 2026. Brewers’ President of Business Operations Rick Schlesinger confirmed the arrangement […]

Continuing our February Daily Question series, we’re beginning today’s conversation with the question, “Which prospect are you most looking forward to seeing this spring?” Adam gave a minor league season preview yesterday, and just last week I covered some of the non-roster players the Brewers are inviting to spring training, including top prospect shortstop Jesús Made.

Earlier on Monday, we got word that the Atlanta Braves were one of three teams (alongside the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Angels) that didn’t decide to follow the Brewers, Cardinals, Rays, Reds and Royals to MLB Media as far as their televised games are concerned. Well, now we know why the Braves didn’t join […]

The Braves are still looking for a television broadcast partner after moving on from Main Street Sports Group (aka the company that runs Fanduel Sports Network). However, six of other eight teams are not looking anymore for this season. The Brewers, Marlins, Rays, Royals, Cardinals, and the Reds are moving on over to MLB Media. […]

It’s a great time to be a Brewers fan. The foremost reason is that the Brewers just had their best regular season ever, finishing 97-65 and winning the NL Central. While it’s not exactly realistic to project improvement, that 2025 team could very well be the least talented Brewers team of the next few years. […]

It’s been a while since we’ve done a 26-man roster projection here at Brew Crew Ball, and in the wake of the moves of the past couple of weeks, it’s again time to take a look at the landscape. When you start crunching the numbers, there isn’t a whole lot of mystery here, beyond who […]

Continuing our February Daily Question series, we’re beginning today’s conversation with the question, “Which trade still bothers you the most?” The Brewers haven’t had many terrible trades, at least in recent memory. But every fan seems to have at least one lingering trade that haunts them from time to time. Whether it be the Josh […]

After signing Bo Bichette and trading for Luis Robert Jr., the Mets had one more big move in a week. On January 21, they traded Jett Willliams and Brandon Sproat to the Brewers in exchange for Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers. While Peralta was the bigger name and centerpiece of the trade, Tobias Myers isn’t […]

(UPDATE: An incorrect salary was fixed, and a better summary is included at the bottom of the post.) At the start of the offseason, we looked at the initial payroll projection for 2026. While not much has changed to the roster since then, there have been some adjustments. As the end of January approaches, and […]

While announcing the Craig Kimbrel signing that had already been reported upon, the Mets also revealed another low-stakes acquisition of a veteran player. The team has inked long-time Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training. The 36-year-old Barnes had spent over a decade in the Dodgers organization, […]

The Chicago Cubs, having brought back Christian Bethancourt as a third/veteran/depth catcher on a minor league deal, were probably not going to be a realistic return spot for Reese McGuire. Sure, they added two of those types last offseason (McGuire and Carlos Perez), but McGuire has since shown he can still be a quality big league back-up, and Moises Ballesteros has since emerged as a relative lock for the big league roster (where he might occasionally serve, himself, as the emergency third c...

By this point in the year, most of the major publications — other than Baseball Prospectus, which deserves its own article — have released their list of the top 100 prospects in baseball heading into the 2026 season. I already covered the Brewers prospects named to MLB Pipeline and Baseball America’s lists, but ESPN and […]
