Brewers

With apologies to Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell, there's no way what's been happening since the All-Star break is a result of the team saying, 'Let's be a little bit better.' The Brewers are a lot better, and they're a lot better because they've made significant changes with their plate approach. 

The Brewers are off to a hot start in the second half, and no one is more responsible than Yelich himself.

While the Brewers face some very harsh realities regarding market size and payroll, they are not impossible to overcome. This team has already demonstrated that it has been able to adapt and overcome these challenges over the past five years. Can they continue to do so?

Rumors have circulated that Hader could be dealt but most expected it to occur in the offseason, not during a division race.

As we say goodbye to the holiday season and flip the calendar to 2023, Spring Training will be here before we know it. The Milwaukee Brewers appear to have a postseason-level club, but several important questions remain before the first exhibition pitch is thrown in Arizona on February 25. The answers to these four essential questions could determine the club's path today and in the future.

Two NL Central teams at opposite ends of their division do battle. With both having undergone their own respective trade deadline-induced makeovers, how will each's novel chemistry fare against one another?

After dealing Josh Hader to the San Diego Padres for Taylor Rogers earlier today, the Milwaukee Brewers continued to make moves prior to the trade deadline. Infielder Mark Mathias and prospect Antoine Kelly have been sent to the Texas Rangers in exchange for reliever Matt Bush.

Signing Wade Miley to a one-year contract isn't going to turn many heads for the Milwaukee Brewers. However, the club's acquisition of another starting pitcher opens up several strategic options for the team to explore. Do the Brewers already have something in mind, or will they sit back and let the answer come to them?

Fernando Vina was not a big man - 5’9” and 170 pounds - and thus lacked power. He had a good glove and thus profiled as a light-hitting utility infielder - except for one thing - his mediocre arm limited him to second base. For a guy like Vina - that is often a professional death sentence. Luckily for Vina, he got a chance to play every day in the majors with Milwaukee - and in time, he developed into a quality contact hitter - which enabled him to carve out a successful 12-year career.

We asked a few or our writers for their initial reactions and to breakdown the trade that send Josh Hader away from the Brewers during a NL Central division race. Here were their reactions.

Fans of baseball see the massive amount of money spent, though fans of the Milwaukee Brewers look on from afar. While it is still a couple of months out, with Opening Day on March 30th this year, there could be a reason to be concerned.

The Milwaukee Brewers made Matt Arnold their top decision-maker after David Stearns stepped down into an advisory role. Arnold is set to have his contract with the club expire at the end of the season. How could that effect the Brewers' 2023 season and beyond?
