When the Milwaukee Brewers traded Caleb Durbin to the Boston Red Sox earlier this week, it left a huge hole in the infield. This was, of course, because Milwaukee also sent Andruw Monasterio and Anthony Seigler to Boston in the deal. The three players made up the Brewers’ entire third base depth chart on the Major League level. And while infielder David Hamilton was one of the players Milwaukee got back from the Red Sox, the fact remained that the Brewers had very few Major League ready players who could play the hot corner on a regular basis. And so,…

The Milwaukee Brewers, like all other Major League Baseball teams, are going to have to make some tough decisions as Spring Training goes on. Only 26 players can make the Opening Day roster, and given Milwaukee’s incredible pitching depth, there will be some Major League capable players that are left off. They will either be assigned to the minor leagues, if they have options remaining, or will be place on waivers/released. Over the course of the offseason, the Brewers made a concentrated effort on adding left-handed pitchers. With Spring Training having started this week, their depth in this facet of…

Milwaukee Brewers fans have been fortunate to see their team win the National League Central Division in each of the past three seasons. Additionally, the Brewers have made it to the postseason in seven of the last eight seasons. Indeed, this is truly the Golden Era of baseball in Milwaukee in terms of fielding a competent and competitive team year in and year out. There are, however, costs to fans who have followed this Brewers team for so long, and especially in the last eight years. Of all the players currently on the roster, only Christian Yelich and Brandon Woodruff…

The Milwaukee Brewers don’t operate like the Los Angeles Dodgers. They just don’t have the financial might such as that of the reigning World Series champions. It partly explains why Milwaukee traded rising star and infielder Caleb Durbin recently to the Boston Red Sox, along with infielders Andruw Monasterio and Anthony Seigler, and a draft pick. In return, Milwaukee got left-handed pitcher Kyle Harrison, infielder David Hamilton, and a left-handed pitching prospect Shane Drohan. Durbin was a finalist for the 2025 National League Rookie of the Year Award, but he’ll now continue his development in the big leagues with the Red Sox.…

The Wisconsin Badgers collected yet another wild win against a top-10 opponent on the road on Tuesday, when they took down the No. 8 Illinois Fighting Illini at State Farm Center in Champaign, Illinois, via a 92-90 score. Nick Boyd and John Blackwell joined forces to carry the Badgers past the Fighting Illini despite Wisconsin being down by as many as 12 points in the second half. The resilience of Wisconsin was on full display in that contest. Meanwhile, what sophomore forward Austin Rapp did in the wild comeback can’t be overlooked. After scoring 19 points in a previous win…

The Wisconsin Badgers are unranked, but they have been one of the most talked about teams of late, especially following their incredible come-from-behind 92-90 win on the road over the No. 10 Illini Fighting Illini on Tuesday. Trailing the Fighting Illini by 12 points in the second half, Wisconsin basketball worked its way back into the contest to force overtime, where the Badgers got the job done to complete the comeback. Nick Boyd and John Blackwell teamed up to carry most of the load in that contest for Wisconsin, as they scored 25 and 24 points, respectively. They also combined…

The Milwaukee Bucks’ front office must be feeling good of late, as the team’s recent acquisitions have been performing well. While the sample size is still small, what Cam Thomas and Ousmane Dieng have shown since their respective trades to Milwaukee can’t be ignored. A day after Thomas went off for 34 points in a win against the Orlando Magic on the road, it was Dieng, who took over for Milwaukee in a game against his former team, the Oklahoma City Thunder. Playing at the reigning NBA champions’ home, the 22-year-old Dieng led the Bucks in scoring with 19 points…

The Milwaukee Bucks continue to reap the dividends of their recent acquisition of Ousmane Dieng. Dieng had quite a night on Thursday against his former team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, as he led the Bucks with 19 points on 7/12 shooting from the field with three 3-pointers, 11 rebounds and six assists. He also had four blocks in 36 minutes of action, as Milwaukee stunned the reigning NBA champions Thunder at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. Not many saw such an upset win by Milwaukee coming. Although the Thunder were without reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Bucks…

The Wisconsin Badgers sent another strong warning to the rest of the nation on Tuesday, when they stunned the No. 8 Illinois Fighting Illini in a 92-90 overtime win at State Farm Center in Champaign, Illinois. Down by 12 points in the second half, Wisconsin basketball chipped away at the deficit little by little before completing the incredible come-from-behind win in enemy territory. It was also another victory for Wisconsin at the expense of a top-10 squad on the road, giving the program something it had not accomplished before during the Greg Gard era.

The Milwaukee Bucks are dealing with a tough assignment Thursday night on the road, as they are playing the reigning NBA champions Oklahoma City Thunder at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. However, the Bucks are also playing without the guidance of head coach Doc Rivers on the sidelines. Before the game, Milwaukee announced that Rivers is away to attend a funeral. “Doc Rivers is attending a funeral and will not be in Oklahoma City for tonight’s game. Darvin Ham will serve as head coach vs. the Thunder,” the team’s announcement on social media read. Fans show support for Bucks’ Rivers …
