Leading the decline of Brewers blogs but with the best Junior Guerra content.
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 […]

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.

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 […]

Welcome to our new February Daily Question series. Throughout the month, we’ll be posting question articles every day in the hopes that we can start some more conversations within the Brew Crew Ball community. To begin, we’re asking, “What’s the strongest reason to believe this season won’t be a waste?” Now, I’ll be the first […]

(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 […]

The 2026 World Baseball Classic is set to begin in less than three months, as Team USA is looking to avenge a runner-up finish at the hands of Shohei Ohtani and Japan back in 2023. Manager Mark DeRosa heads up the American squad, a team that is headlined by several big-name stars. Let’s take a […]

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 […]

We’re here to talk about the one thing on everybody’s minds: who is going to be the Milwaukee Brewers’ backup catcher when the 2026 season starts? There was a bit of news on this front on Tuesday, when the Brewers — after rumors swirled for some time — signed the Chicago Cubs’ 2025 backup, Reese […]

Just a day after I wrote about the Brewers notably inviting two catchers to spring training, they’ve tacked on another catcher to that group. Veteran catcher Reese McGuire, who spent last season with the Cubs, has agreed to a minor league deal with Milwaukee with an invite to major league spring training, per Curt Hogg. […]

The Milwaukee Brewers announced a list of nine prospects who are invited to the team’s spring training as non-roster invitees. The group is headlined by shortstop Jesús Made, who ranks as the team’s No. 1 prospect and as a consistent top five MLB prospect across expert rankings. Plenty has been said about Made on this […]

When he was in the minor leagues, there were good indications that Joey Ortiz would be, at minimum, a decent offensive player. From his professional debut through his last substantive minor league season in 2023, Ortiz never had a wRC+ lower than 98, and even that low mark came in 2019 when he was 20 […]

When Brewers fans talk about the bullpen, names like Trevor Megill or Abner Uribe usually dominate the conversation. That makes sense. Closers and flamethrowers tend to get the attention. But one of the most important arms in Milwaukee’s bullpen is not the one finishing games or lighting up the radar gun. It is Jared Koenig, […]

On Friday, MLB Pipeline released their annual preseason ranking of the league’s top 100 prospects. Five Brewers made the cut, all of whom were also named to Baseball America’s Top 100 prospects just a few days earlier. Since I already briefly profiled each prospect when the Baseball America list came out, I won’t repeat myself. […]

On Wednesday, we got news many of us have expected all offseason: after eight years in Milwaukee, Freddy Peralta has been traded. I am not here to analyze that trade (Jason both reported on the trade and looked at what the return, Brandon Sproat and Jett Williams, will offer the 2026 Brewers, and we’ll have […]

Baseball America just announced their top 100 prospects in baseball heading into the 2026 season. Let’s take a look at which Brewers prospects made the cut: 4.

When discussion about a Freddy Peralta trade came up during the offseason, there was one consistent message sent with any rumor: If the Brewers decide to trade Peralta, they were not just looking at prospects. They wanted MLB-ready talent that would be under team control for several years. In their trade with the Mets for […]

The trade we expected to happen this offseason has finally happened. Freddy Peralta has been traded to the Mets, per multiple reports. In return, the Brewers will get two of the Mets’ top prospects: Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat. The Brewers are also sending Tobias Myers to the Mets in the trade. Rumors around the […]

On Tuesday, Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones were elected by the Baseball Writers of America Association as the two latest inductees to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Those of you who have paid some attention know that I’m a Hall junkie, so I thought it would be fun to take a look to the future, […]
