The decisions regarding two of the Milwaukee Brewers outfielders are final.  To no surprise, Jackie Bradley Jr has picked up his player option while Avisail Garcia has declined his mutual option. JBJ will pick up his $9.5M player option and remain a Brewer for 2022. He is a Gold Glove finalist but had an uncharacteristically rough year at the plate. — Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) November 3, 2021 Avisail Garcia has opted out of his Brewers deal. Had very good year, not a surprise. Free agent OF market growing stronger almost by the hour. — Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) November 4, 2021…

It took Brewers President of Baseball Operations David Stearns less than 24 hours following the conclusion of the World Series to make his first off-season acquisition.  29 year old, right handed relief pitcher, Trevor Gott is who Stearns elected to sign to a one year major league deal. The Brewers have signed right-hander Trevor Gott to a one-year major-league contract, a source tells @TheAthletic. Spent all of last season with Giants at Triple A. — Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) November 3, 2021 Who Is Trevor Gott And Why Sign Him? Gott spent all of 2021 in the San Francisco Giants organization…

With the World Series concluding, teams and fans now will shift their attention to the off-season.  One of the first orders of business is free agents.  Eligible players become free agents a day after the final major league baseball game is played.  On the Brewers roster, Eduardo Escobar is one player who is set to become a free agent. Prior to joining the Brewers at the trade deadline, Escobar was the Arizona Diamondbacks lone all-star.  As an 11 year pro, 2021 surprisingly marked Escobar’s first ever all-star appearance.  It was well deserved for with the Diamondbacks he hit 22 home…

Following the conclusion of the minor league baseball season, many players go on to play in fall or winter leagues.  In the Brewers case, they have nine prospects playing in the Arizona Fall League (AFL) for the Salt River Rafters.  Currently, they are at the halfway point of their fall season and we are going to look at how the Brewers prospects are performing. It is worth mentioning that the AFL is experimenting with changes to the game.  For one, they are using robot umpires.  There still is an ump behind home plate, but he is not the one calling…

Unfortunately, the Milwaukee Brewers are not one of the two teams remaining that will be playing through Halloween this year. After getting spooked by the Atlanta Braves in the NLDS, the Brewers were sent to the graveyard (off-season) with the remainder of the MLB teams left searching for answers.  While it may seem that you will be a skeleton by the time Brewers baseball returns, there are lots of jack-o-lanterns (players) to analyze in the interim. In this article, we will be examining four players who surprised us in 2021 and evaluate them trick or treat style.  Trick will represent…

In a recent video, Jon Heyman predicted landing spots for upcoming free agents.  Of his predictions, he chose the Milwaukee Brewers to sign outfielder Nick Castellanos. Here’s some early free agent predictions from Jon Heyman. pic.twitter.com/sBwk3Rdxkt — Michael Mayer (@mikemayer22) October 22, 2021 MLB free agency does not begin until the day after the world series concludes.  In Nick Castellanos case, we are not sure if he will even be a free agent yet.  Castellanos signed a four year, $64MM deal in 2020 with the Cincinnati Reds.  However, the deal included an opt out after the 2021 season.

Despite an early exit from the 2021 MLB play-offs, the Milwaukee Brewers had a successful season in which they compiled 95 wins and were division champions.  With racking up so many wins, they likely will have players and coaches within the organization who will be candidates to win awards this off-season. November 1st marks when the three finalist at Manager of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Cy Young, and Most Valuable Player are announced.  Winners for these award will be announced November 8th-11th with one winner being announced each day.  November 2nd is when Gold Glover winners at each…

With the Milwaukee Brewers play-off run cut extremely short, the focus now shifts to the off-season.  Most recently, MLB Trade Rumors announced its 2022 salary projections for arbitration eligible players.  This year, 14 Brewers in total are eligible for arbitration. Arbitration is a process that helps determine a players salary for the upcoming season.  This only occurs if the team and player cannot agree to a deal ahead of time.  Typically, an arbitration hearing occurs in February. In this article, we are going to look at five Brewers players who are due for pay increases via arbitration.  1) Josh Hader…

Brewers play-off baseball is right around the corner.  It is an exciting time of the year and 2021 marks the fourth consecutive season that the Crew has been able to play meaningful baseball in October.  This year, they drew the Atlanta Braves in the NLDS in what should be an exciting matchup. At 95 wins, the Brewers won the NL Central Division Title.  On the other hand, the Braves wrapped up the NL East Title with 88 wins.  During the regular season, the Brewers pitching staff was historically good whereas the Braves relied more so on a high powered offense.…

Friday, October 8th marks the start of the NLDS, which is a best of five series.  The matchup between the Milwaukee Brewers and Atlanta Braves will mark their first ever clash in the play-offs.  Both teams have their strengths and weaknesses, so here are a few keys in order for the Brewers to beat the Braves. 1) Provide Corbin Burnes and Brandon Woodruff With Run Support  All season Burnes and Woodruff excelled at limiting runs.  Burnes ended up winning the Brewers first ever ERA title and Woodruff finished fourth.  However, it is no secret that both pitchers did not always…
