As we inch closer and closer to the 2023 MLB trade deadline, the rumor mill is beginning to churn and potential trade targets/packages are being thrown together. This year’s Milwaukee Brewers are a team that’s going to be heavily featured in the rumors this season, but it’s still not fully determined whether they will be more active as buyers or as sellers. With a 34-34 record, the Crew sits in second place in the NL Central, so they are not technically anywhere close to out of it, but there are a ton of tradeable assets on the 26-man active roster,…

After yesterday’s news that the Milwaukee Brewers were signing outfielder Raimel Tapia to a big league contract, the expectation was that he would be active for last night’s game against the Minnesota Twins. However, no official announcement came with the corresponding roster move(s) and the news was pushed back to today. Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel took to Twitter to confirm the moves that were made to bring Tapia aboard. Infielder Abraham Toro has been optioned to Triple-A Nashville while RHP Cam Robinson has been designated for assignment. Before we dive any further into this, let me start…

Prior to last night’s loss at the hands of the Minnesota Twins, there was no actual evidence that Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams was actually human. Prior to the shellacking laid on by the Twins offense in the ninth inning, Williams had an ERA of just 0.42 thanks to one earned allowed in over 21 innings. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. As Williams took the mound against the nine-hole hitter followed by the top of the Twins’ order, things quickly unraveled. After surrendering a home run to Michael A. Taylor (only the second Williams had surrendered…

Per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic on Twitter, the Milwaukee Brewers have signed outfielder Raimel Tapia to a major league contract. As of right now, the corresponding move has not been revealed. Rosenthal notes that the left-handed swinging Tapia will be active for tonight’s game against the Twins. Outfielder Raimel Tapia has signed with the Brewers, a source tells @TheAthletic. Released by the Red Sox on Sunday. Has joined team in Minnesota for tonight’s game. — Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) June 13, 2023 Tapia, 29, was only just recently designated for assignment by the Boston Red Sox last week. He…

You likely do not need me to tell you this, but Devin Williams of the Milwaukee Brewers is one of the very best relief pitchers in all of Major League Baseball. To kick off the 2023 regular season, he has continued to branch off of a highly impressive stretch of play that began back in 2020. One of the better stats to use to measure a pitcher’s overall success (especially compared to other hurlers around the league) is ERA+. This statistic takes a pitcher’s ERA into account, as well as the ballpark they call home and the opponents they face.…

When the Milwaukee Brewers first acquired Owen Miller from the Cleveland Guardians in December of 2022, there were very few reasons for fans to be over-the-top excited about the move. After all, the utilityman had made it into 190 games for the Guardians across two years and failed to produce any output even close to league-average. Miller, a native of Mequon, WI, grew up rooting for the Brewers and received the unique opportunity to play for his hometown team, something the vast majority of professional baseball players never get to do. Nobody could’ve seen his offensive explosion coming and nobody…

Every year at the conclusion of the Minor League Baseball season, countless amounts of players become minor league free agents for the very first time in their respective careers. For the 2022 Milwaukee Brewers and their Triple-A affiliate Nashville Sounds, this list included infielder Weston Wilson, who had been in the organization since he was selected in the 17th round of the 2016 MLB Draft. During his tenure with the team, Wilson essentially did nothing but mash. He hit 11 or more home runs in each season from 2018-2022 (of course the COVID-cancelled 2020 season is not included here) and…

Remember Orlando Arcia when he was with the Milwaukee Brewers? The shortstop who had one of the best defensive ranges and throwing arms you’d ever see, but also was one of the most frustrating at-bats you could possibly watch? After six painstaking years on the Brewers in which he never took many strides forward on offense and, if anything, took a few strides back on defense, he was finally traded to the Atlanta Braves in April of 2021. From there, things did not immediately take off for him, but the improvements have been gradual. Now, he is leading all National…

Per multiple reports, including one from Jeeho Yoo of Yonhap News on Twitter, ex-Milwaukee Brewers prospect Dylan File has been released from his contract with the Doosan Bears of the Korea Baseball Organization, or KBO. #KBO: Doosan Bears have released RHP Dylan File. Went 0-1 with an 8.00 ERA in two starts. File missed the first month of the season after getting hit in the head by a comebacker during spring training in late February. After 2 starts, he started experiencing elbow problems. — Jeeho Yoo (@Jeeho_1) June 8, 2023 File, a 21st-round pick by the Brewers in the…

In a pair of moves that is surely to promote some mixed feelings amongst Milwaukee Brewers fans, the club itself took to Twitter to officially announce that shortstop Willy Adames has been reinstated from the seven-day concussion injured list. On the flip side of that, promising young infielder Brice Turang has been optioned down to Triple-A Nashville. SS Willy Adames reinstated from the 7-day concussion list.
