Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers filled two of their biggest needs: a catcher and a hitter by acquiring William Contreras. Here is a look at some other areas of the rosters that should be addressed and what free agents are out there that could help. 

On Wednesday afternoon, the Milwaukee Brewers acquired infielder Owen Miller from the Cleveland Guardians for cash or a player to be named later. To make room on the 40-man roster, catcher Mario Feliciano was Designated for Assignment. 

The Boston Red Sox are suddenly struggling in the talent-packed American League. With the trade deadline looming, their fall from legitimate playoff contention could open the door to a handful of more trade options for the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Milwaukee Brewers have already had a busy offseason, and more moves are coming. While they could roll into Opening Day with the current position players, the outfield has questions and is far from settled. Fortunately, there's plenty of time to improve and solidify this part of the roster.

In 1979, the Milwaukee Brewers offense was poised to be special. One player hit .321 with 28 HR and 101 RBI - while walking more times than he struck out. And that person was…Yount? Molitor? Cooper? Wrong, wrong, and wrong. It was 25-year-old outfielder Sixto Lezcano. However, instead of the breakout season launching Lezcano as one of the game's best players, it proved to be his high-water mark, disappointing many who thought he was destined for stardom.

The Milwaukee Brewers found themselves with an odd final game of a series on a Monday and made a trio of roster moves before getting underway. The club recalled Ethan Small from Triple-A Nashville and designated reliever Connor Sadzeck for assignment. They also flipped outfielder Abraham Almonte to the Red Sox for cash considerations.

The Milwaukee Brewers recently acquired Wisconsin native Owen Miller. In a newly released interview with David Laurila at FanGraphs, we may have gotten a glimpse into what the club sees in Miller as he joins the club. 

By locking up the promising young lefty for five years with two additional option years, the Milwaukee Brewers control Ashby through his age 31 season. There’s no downside to the contract from the club’s perspective.

After adding Jesse Winker, and William Contreras (and let's not forget Owen Miller!), we'll look at the Brewers' position players and some of the projected numbers and see where the offense stands.

If the Brewers want their offense to be more consistent, there is an obvious trade deadline need beyond that of a better centerfielder.

The Brewers rotation has been the team's strength the last few seasons and looks to be so again in 2023. We'll break down what the rotation will look like in the coming season.

The Brewers came back from the break looking to hold on to first in the NL Central with a four game series against the Colorado Rockies. With a 1 1/2 game lead over the Cardinals and the trade deadline looming, the Crew had to make this home stand count.
