AUDIO via Matt Pauley's Brewers Extra Innings Podcast Sun. 8/6: "As the Brewers play the first week of August, they have closed the gap on the Cubs in the NL Central. Might we see them make substantial moves at the waiver-trade deadline at the end of the month? Matt is joined by Kyle Lobner to discuss that and many other things. Brew Crew Ball's Brad Ford joins the conversation to talk about some of the top prospects in the entire organization."

The entirety of the podcast is worth your time -- in terms of this particular forum, Kyle wraps up by talking Timber Rattlers for a bit, and Brad's discussion is all prospect-driven.

From the list of July 2nd signings per MLB --

 

Davison Gonzalez, LHS, Venezuela, $10,000

 

***

Apparently Milwaukee is comfortable in getting the time clock started on LHP Davison Gonzalez, as the soon-to-be 20-year-old (August 10th) has been assigned to the DSL Brewers squad. Most, if not all, the rest of his class will begin play in 2018.

 

Gonzalez made his debut after the DSL'ers fell behind in extra innings, as Brad helped detail above:

AUDIO via the Rattler Radio Soundcloud: "The Timber Rattlers won 7-2 on Monday night over the Cedar Rapids Kernels. Chris Mehring & Kyle Lobner have plenty to discuss and have comments from Thomas Jankins, Keston Hiura, Trever Morrison, Drake Owenby, and pitching coach Steve Cline."

Interesting stat lines as Rattlers outhit 9-6 but win by five. Wisconsin draws six walks, Trever Morrison is HBP twice, and the men combine for three sacrifice flies.
