Latest news and updates about the Brewers
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 […]

Today we are wrapping up our series looking at potential targets from outside the Brewers’ organization that could help the team in 2026. We’ve already looked at starters, relievers, and infielders (and catcher), and today we’ll finish up by looking at the outfield. As always, we’ll start by looking at Milwaukee’s internal options, then survey […]
After a rookie season with a 3.53 ERA, Chad Patrick is already set to be a fundamental player in the Brewers’ rotation plans come 2026. The 27-year-old righty spent parts of three seasons at the Triple-A level before breaking out with the major league club. Although his debut campaign was already remarkable, is there room […]
I’m writing this article in defense of a couple players that were at one point seen as potential answers at their respective positions but now face questions about their long-term fit with the Brewers. Both players have — somewhat deservedly — gotten grief for their performance, or lack thereof, during the 2025 season. Here’s the […]
In yet another close vote, Jackson Chourio has slotted in at No. 6 on our 2025 MVBrewers list. Chourio took the six spot with nine votes from the BCB community, slightly outpacing pitcher Quinn Priester, who finished second with seven votes. Abner Uribe garnered the only other vote. After a third-place finish in the NL […]
Though the Brewers don’t have as many long-time players as other teams, a few players have been around long enough to make their mark on team history. Let’s take a look at where these players stand heading into the 2026 season. Games Played The games played mark will likely never be bested. Robin Yount has […]
Even on a sleepy pre-Thanksgiving Sunday, the Braves found a way to make minor news by signing Joel Payamps to a one-year, $2.25 million major league deal. The Braves claimed Payamps from the Brewers late in the 2025 season, gave him a couple of appearances before the season ended, and then outrighted him before the […]
Last week, we looked around the league at pitchers (both starters and relievers) that the Brewers could consider adding from outside of their organization to improve the team in 2026. This week, we’ll continue surveying the league, this time looking at position players. Today we’ll look at infielders (and catcher), and later in the week […]
The Atlanta Braves announced this afternoon that they have agreed on a one-year deal with reliever Joel Payamps. Payamps ended the 2025 season after the Braves claimed him off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers. Atlanta outrighted him off the 40-man roster earlier this off-season. He’ll return to the Braves with a $2.25M deal in 2026. […]
Next up on the list is Ryan Braun. It is his first time on the ballot. I was thinking I’d skip him, but he was a better player than I remembered. A career .296/358/.532 line with 352 home runs, 1154 RBI and a 47.2 bWAR in 14 seasons all with the Brewers. He was the […]
MLB’s non-tender deadline was at 4 p.m. CT today, and while the Brewers reportedly tendered contracts to all seven of their arbitration-eligible players, there were a few surprising (and not so surprising) moves across the league. Let’s take a quick look at every team’s non-tender decisions.
A year ago, there was an argument to be made that Devin Williams was the best relief pitcher in baseball. He had just wrapped a six-season stint at the back of the Brewers bullpen that saw him compile a 1.83 ERA and save 68 games over 235.1 total innings. All that stood in between him […]
After a close vote for No. 4 (if you’ll recall, Sal Frelick won with nine votes to Christian Yelich’s eight votes), Yelich blew the competition out of the water in this week’s voting to slot in at No. 5 on our 2025 MVBrewers list. The BCB community voted for Yelich with 16 votes in The […]
Earlier this week, I took a look at players outside of the Milwaukee Brewers’ organization that could be potential fits with the team this offseason. While the news that Brandon Woodruff accepted the qualifying offer and will be returning to the team next year is an exciting prospect for fans, it did mostly render those […]
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 […]
In an article yesterday by Jeff Passan of ESPN, he mentions MacKenzie Gore as a possible trade target for the Milwaukee Brewers, who, after winning a league-best 97 games last year and getting bounced in the NLCS, will be looking to make some additions to keep themselves in the hunt entering 2026. The Brewers avoid […]
Good morning A’s fans! Award season continued last night as the Managers of the Year were announced in both leagues. In the National League the winner was the Milwaukee Brewers’ skipper Pat Murphy, who guided the Brew Crew to the #1 seed in the National League with a 97-65 record. He also guided them to […]
The votes are in, and our guy didn’t get the trophy. The Baseball Writers Association of America named Rob Thomson a finalist for National League Manager of the Year, but gave the award to Pat Murphy of the Brewers. Thomson led the Phillies to a 96-66 record and division title in a tough NL East. […]
Dave Roberts failed to get even a single vote for the 2025 National League Manager of the Year, and for the second straight season, Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy has been named the recipient of the award. Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona finished second in voting after coming out of a brief retirement, and Philadelphia […]
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.
