Surprisingly to some, they have gone with a powerhouse outfielder, Garrett Mitchell. This man is a force to be reckoned with. Based on votes, he is ranked sixth by MLB Pipeline. He really is the kind of athlete that a team would dream to have, especially the Brewers. A player out of UCLA, Mitchell has 80-grade speed, which is well above-average. In addition, he’s got…

In all honesty, I don’t know how much longer I can take without this entire ‘no baseball’ thing that’s going on. Due to the pandemic, the sports world was in shambles. There’s been negotiations left and right, and somehow, the MLB just can’t seem to figure anything out. The NBA came to an agreement and will continue their season on July 31st in Orlando, Florida. Their agreement included having 22 teams finish out the season. This consists of eight games with the season concluding no later than October 12th. Their players board approved it pretty quickly; whereas when it comes…

The world of sports is definitely taking a hit as well, and it’s really up in the air on when any of the sports are going to make a safe comeback. As someone who works for the Milwaukee Brewers, I can say that this whole pandemic has sucked. Brewers on Deck was the last event that Milwaukee really had that dealt with Brewers baseball.

At this point, it seems like we aren’t going to really get much of a 2020 season. That means that Milwaukee Brewers very own Ryan Braun’s last contracted year could be a short one. Could this make him want to play another year due to the pandemic? Or will he finally hang up the cleats? Should the Milwaukee Brewers honor Ryan Braun by retiring his number? Why Braun? Ryan Braun has been a face of the Brewers franchise since he basically stepped foot into the organization back in 2005. He skyrocketed through the minor leagues, and earned himself Rookie of…

I’m sure the first names that come to your mind when thinking of who’s the greatest Milwaukee Brewer of all time are either Christian Yelich or Ryan Braun.
