We don’t talk about him as much as the other starting pitchers in the trade market (because he’s not realistically a Chicago Cubs target), but I don’t want to forget that Milwaukee Brewers righty Freddy Peralta is out there. Rumors about his availability this offseason go way back , though it doesn’t really require a source to discern that the Brewers would consider trading a star player heading into his walk year. Unlike the Cubs , it’s part of the Brewers’ DNA to do so. Still, Ken ...
As mentioned yesterday, the Braves, like many teams, continue to be involved in talks regarding the addition of starting pitching. While Ken Rosenthal suggested the Braves are more likely to sign an arm than trade for one. Atlanta is one of several teams that have checked on starter Freddy Peralta of the Brewers. The idea […]
Meet the Mets The Mets remain interested in Freddy Peralta. Trade talks are expected to pick up for the Brewers’ ace, and the asking price remains high.

In the Brewers’ core of young players, Sal Frelick has emerged as an integral part of the Brewers outfield. Frelick had been known for his strong defense in his first couple years in the majors. He then took it to the next level in 2025 as he became a threat in the batting order, increasing […]
Dan Szymborski’s ZiPS projections for 2026 have been up at FanGraphs for about a month, so let’s check them out! But before we do that, let’s do a quick look at last season’s projections and how those worked out. Last season The Brewers tend to be a little tough to project because they rely on […]
Happy New Year’s Eve! Many players on the Brewers, like the rest of us, will go into the New Year with realistic personal and/or professional goals that they wish to accomplish in the New Year. I’ve taken the liberty to guess what some of them might be: Brandon Woodruff: Stay healthy & remain the Brewers’ […]
The Brewers had an amazing season in 2025. They put together a surprise league-leading regular season and rode that into a small playoff run. Most fans would say that everything is looking bright for the team. It’s a positive mark in the Wisconsin sports scene, which doesn’t look as good when you look outside the […]
After spending the 2024 season with the Milwaukee Brewers as a solid swing-man, the Phillies gave Joe Ross a one-year deal for what seemed like a similar role. Over the course of seven seasons with the Washington Nationals and the aforementioned Brewers, Ross has made 86 starts while coming out of the bullpen 37 times. […]
The Milwaukee Brewers have had their share of breakout players in recent seasons. In 2023, it was William Contreras and Hoby Milner. In 2024, it was Brice Turang, Jackson Chourio, Tobias Myers, and Bryan Hudson. In 2025, it was Sal Frelick, Caleb Durbin, Quinn Priester, and Chad Patrick. Those groups could obviously be expanded some […]
It’s the mysterious week between the holidays here in Wisconsin, a snowstorm is coming, and we’re still waiting to see if the Brewers are going to trade their ace, their closer, or sign a backup catcher. So let’s keep thinking about the Brewers of the past. Today’s installment is a middle infielder who was a […]
The Milwaukee Brewers’ roster as it stands looks pretty balanced, with plenty of carryover from 2025 and very few clear holes. One potential hole, however, is catching depth. Behind starter William Contreras, the only other catcher currently on the 40-man roster is 23-year-old prospect Jeferson Quero, who hasn’t yet made an MLB appearance. While it’s […]
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 […]

C’mon, Jed, bring us to baseball heaven. Tokyo was where the ‘25 Cubs season beganIt was a very nice trip, but no wins came in Japan.After some more […]
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. How many of these articles get written is kind of up to Milwaukee’s front office, but we’ll get started with this one, a somewhat forgotten […]
While some teams have already made moves to upgrade their roster during this year’s free agency, many of the biggest names available remain unsigned. Earlier in the offseason, Paul wrote a series of (extremely thorough) articles on Brewers’ potential offseason targets. That was before the Brewers traded outfielder Isaac Collins (who appeared in 130 games […]
