Things are starting to look a little promising for Luis Urias and his return to the big leagues. Earlier this week, it was announced that Urias would finally be starting his rehab assignment after spending a lengthy amount of time on the IL with a hamstring strain. The third baseman has only played in one game so far and that’s due to the fact that he injured his hamstring on Opening Day against the Chicago Cubs. Originally it was supposed to be just a simple 10-day trip, but that quickly turned to a 60-day IL trip. In 2022, Urias also…

This article is part of a series looking at expectations for the Brewers position units in the 2023 season. We are just days away from Opening Day 2023 for the Milwaukee Brewers. As we make our way into the last handful of Spring Training games, it’s time to take a look at what to expect for the Brewers’ starting rotation. There are still some roster spots that are up in the air, but in terms of the starting rotation, it seems to be pretty much solidified in who will be the Brewers’ starting arms.

When Luke Voit joined the Milwaukee Brewers on a minor league contract, he was given an opt-out clause. Joel Sherman of the New York Post reported that if Voit isn’t on the Brewers’ 40-man roster by Thursday March 16, he could opt out of his minor league deal and find another team to call home. If he ends up sealing a spot on the roster, he’ll have a base salary of $2M. On Monday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel asked Voit about the opt-out and if he had any expectations on staying with the team. “My job is…

Well, we were waiting for Corbin Burnes to respond about the arbitration loss; But we definitely were not expecting him to respond the way he did. There was going to be upset from Burnes, but the things he said were pearl-clutching. Every fear that going to an arbitration hearing against Corbin Burnes could harm his relationship with the Brewers was founded. “There’s no denying that the relationship is definitely hurt from what [transpired],” Burnes said. pic.twitter.com/Xv8DFyiKde — Adam McCalvy (@AdamMcCalvy) February 16, 2023 “You find your true value to the organization. You think you work hard for seven years in…

“21, can you do something for me?” Milwaukee’s own Jrue Holiday has been on a tear this season for the Bucks.

The Brewers have been slowly but surely rebuilding the roster for the 2023 season. Several faces that fans are used to seeing won’t be wearing Brewers pinstripes, and the bullpen is looking pretty empty. Sure, the team has some time before the 2023 season really begins, but I feel like they’re moving too slow. The Brewers need to really focus on one thing this offseason: Left-handed pitching. WANTED: Left-Handed Pitchers The only man on the 40-man roster that’s a lefty is Hoby Milner. Milner offered a lot of reliability in 2022, but him being the only left-handed pitcher leaves the…

It wasn’t the start to the new year that many wanted from the Milwaukee Bucks. However, they were without Jrue Holiday (non-COVID illness), Khris Middleton (knee soreness), and Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee soreness) as they took on the Washington Wizards at Fiserv Forum on Sunday night. Milwaukee fell to the Wizards 118-95, allowing Washington to win their fifth straight; The Bucks have lost their last five of six. I say we move past this game, pretend it never happened, but let’s look at some takeaways from Sunday’s game. Lack of Defense Hurt the Bucks Even though they were shorthanded against the…

It’s been a rather quiet offseason for the Milwaukee Brewers. Most of the top free agents that would’ve been good fits in the 414 have been signed to other teams; Why are the Brewers sitting back? Milwaukee hasn’t been entirely quiet this whole time, however. They have made several trades in the last two months, acquiring players such as Jesse Winker, Owen Miller, Abraham Toro, Janson Junk, Elvis Peguero, and Adam Seminaris. They’ve also made some minor league moves in the likes of Eddy Alvarez and Tobias Myers. The most notable move that the Brewers have made that’s really worth…
