Brewers

Mock draft season is going to really heat up over the next few weeks. Players' demands become clearer and teams must solidify their board with as much information as they possibly can.

This week at Brewer Fanatic, we’re running a series enumerating some of the X-factors of the 2023 Milwaukee Brewers. These are factors beyond sheer talent or previous production, which could have a huge impact on the way the long season ahead unfolds. Today, let’s discuss an under-the-radar project for Chris Hook and the team during camp: Bryse Wilson.

After a disappointing 2021 season, Keston Hiura is trying to get back to his 2019 self but it would seem that his biggest obstacle is the Brewers coaching staff and manager Craig Counsell.

Over the weekend Milwaukee made a handful of transactions that impacted the Major League roster. Starter Freddy Peralta was placed back on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation, and he was joined by Eric Lauer, who’s dealing with left elbow inflammation. Trevor Kelley was recalled from Triple-A Nashville.

Our series detailing the Brewers’ X-factors for 2023 rolls on, and there’s no bigger X-factor on the team than the useful but enigmatic Christian Yelich.

Most assume that MLB teams have concerns about trading within their division. With talented NL Central players possibly available in a deal, it would benefit the Milwaukee Brewers if those clubs were willing to listen. There are at least a couple of guys on three of the four other teams worth a long look.

Hope and potential are two of the most dangerous terms in sports. With three weeks left in the MLB season, the Milwaukee Brewers have given its fans hope for a potential postseason berth. The remaining schedules for Milwaukee and the San Diego Padres provide both credence.

The spirit and mission of our series on X-factors for the 2023 Milwaukee Brewers is to find places where there could be big impact from seemingly small things–where statistical projections don’t capture the breadth of possible outcomes. Today, we turn our attention to the gamble the team has taken on William Contreras as a defensive catcher–and the coaches who gave them the confidence to do so. 

It’s make-or-break time in Milwaukee. With the next 8 games scheduled against division winners the Brewers will look for a stretch of competitive baseball to stay in the playoff hunt. Here are the most important players for the upcoming stretch.

In a week of lousy injury news throughout the league, the Brewers caught a heavy blow Wednesday. Craig Counsell announced that Tyrone Taylor had to receive an injection in his injured elbow, and is likely to miss the first month of the season. How will the Brewers fill out their early-season roster without him?

Fresh off a refreshing split against the competent Cardinals, how can the Crew fare against their neighbors to the North and one league over?

Once the college season gets underway, it’s only a matter of time before we enter Mock Draft SZN.

The good folks over at Baseball America aren’t necessarily kicking that off yet, but they’re definitely getting the pump primed with their first Staff Draft.
