On March 6th, 2020, Christian Yelich signed a nine-year, $215 million dollar contract. The deal was a seven-year extension to the two years remaining on his existing deal. At the time, Yelich was coming off of back-to-back MVP-level seasons and was quickly becoming the new face of the franchise. The contract seemed like a win-win since it made sure Yelich would be a Brewer for the prime of his career at a price relatively team-friendly for his MVP-level production. Fast-forward a little over two years later, Christian Yelich is now seen as only a shadow of his former self.…

Former Wisconsin Badger and current Arizona Cardinal JJ Watt is arguably the kindest man in the NFL. For much of the last decade, he has used his platform to build up communities and help individuals when they need it most. Last night on Twitter, Watt showed his kindness once again. On Wednesday evening, a fan posted on Twitter that she was selling her JJ Watt shoes and jersey to help pay for her grandfather’s funeral costs. She tagged JJ Watt in her post so Twitter’s algorithm would project her tweet to more Watt fans. She would have never thought JJ…

The MLB Trade Deadline is just a couple of weeks away. World Series contenders are looking for the final few pieces to add to their team to push them over the top. One of those teams looking for their final pieces is the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers’ pitching has been a strength, as expected, but their offense has room to improve. Where Can the Brewers Improve? The Brewers rank near the bottom of the league in team batting average and on-base percentage. It is clear that the Brewers need to add a few bats to the lineup that can bolster…

Ever since Nike took over as the new jersey sponsor of Major League Baseball, they have slowly been creating new alternate jerseys for each MLB team. This past week, it was the Brewers’ turn to get their “City Connect” jerseys. Met with mixed, but mostly positive feedback, the Brewers officially began selling City Connect gear in their team store and online last week. In addition to this awesome gear being available in real life, the Brewers’ City Connect uniforms are now available in MLB The Show 22. You can access this gear through multiple game modes; including Play Now, Franchise,…

Over the past week, the Milwaukee Brewers received a potential plan to create an entertainment district near American Family Field. According to Brewers Operations President Rick Schlesinger, the plan they received is still very much in its early stages. The newly-introduced resolution called for a study of whether to build an entertainment district in some of the stadium parking lots south of Interstate 94 and east of the State Highway 175. Is the Plan Realistic? When asked how solid the details of the plan are, Schlesinger said “I wouldn’t say [they] are faulty, but probably require further development. Obviously, the…

Before Tuesday’s game, Brewers’ closer Josh Hader had a streak of 40 consecutive scoreless innings. However, after surrendering two home runs in the 9th inning to the Philadelphia Phillies, that streak is now over. Hader began the 2022 season with a potentially record-breaking pace. Continuing off of his dominance at the end of the 2021 regular season, Hader had been solidifying himself as the top reliever in all of baseball. He had matched Houston Astros reliever Ryan Pressly for the longest such stretch in MLB history. Tuesday’s loss was Hader’s first blown save since July 7, 2021, against the…

The Milwaukee Brewers have opened the 2022 season with a bang. Although there haven’t been many insane performances from specific players, the team is consistently winning games. They won so many games in the first two months of the season that they actually set a new franchise record for their best start to a season with a 32-18 record. Their 32-18 record is good enough for first place in the National League Central. It is also good enough for the third-best record in the National League. Lastly, to cap it all off, their record is fourth-best in all of Major…

The Milwaukee Brewers capped off their Memorial Day transactions with a flurry of moves. After Ethan Small made his major league debut against the Cubs, he was sent back down to Triple-A. As a result, another roster spot was opened up. The Brewers chose to call up long-time minor leaguer Luke Barker to fill the newly vacated spot. Many baseball fans will look at that name and have no idea who Barker is. However, he has been known as a leader around minor league baseball for much of the last few seasons. This is the story of Luke Barker. Who…

The Milwaukee Brewers are expected to call up Ethan Small, their top pitching prospect. The news comes in a report by MLB insider Jeff Passan on Sunday afternoon. This move comes as a delayed response to Freddy Peralta’s injury. With Peralta likely out until August, it was clear that the Brewers would begin to consider giving one of their top prospects a shot. Aaron Ashby is already being announced as a starter for the first half of the Brewers doubleheader versus the Chicago Cubs. This call-up could signal that Small is in line for his major league debut against the…
