Brewers

One game. Like Moonlight Graham and a handful of other guys, Chris Sáenz had his one day in The Show - then was gone. But unlike Graham (and most of those other guys), Sáenz had a day to remember.

One baseball game is in the books, with 161 more to play. But does what happened today matter?

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.
 

On Wednesday, we learned that the Milwaukee Brewers had won their arbitration case against ace starting pitcher Corbin Burnes. He'll make $10.01 million this year, instead of the $10.75 million he requested. On Thursday in Arizona, Burnes told us what it all really cost.

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. 

On Wednesday afternoon, the Brewers made a selection in the MLB portion of the Rule 5 draft taking right-handed pitcher Gus Varland from the Dodgers organization. 

On Tuesday, Baseball Prospectus began the rollout of their annual PECOTA preseason projections, and the system is much more kind to the 2023 Milwaukee Brewers than are the ZiPS projections at FanGraphs. Let's dig into the specifics of the PECOTA standings and what they tell us about the Crew.

On Thursday, MLB announced the 2022 Silver Slugger Award finalists. Three Milwaukee Brewers find themselves as finalists. They are infielders Willy Adames and Kolten Wong as well as outfielder Hunter Renfroe. 

On Thursday the Milwaukee Brewers added some infield depth and got some good news on one of their top starting pitchers. Dealing with the Baltimore Orioles, infielder Patrick Dorrian was added to the organization. Brandon Woodruff also continues a rehab assignment, ticketed for a start with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers.

On Sunday, the eyes of the baseball world will be upon San Diego and the Winter Meetings. Let’s take a look at what the Milwaukee Brewers need to accomplish this offseason. Obviously not all of it will be completed over the next week, but it is an opportunity to get all parties in one location, able to have discussions. 

On Saturday evening, the Milwaukee Brewers announced that they have traded right-handed reliever Justin Topa to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for minor-league righty Joseph Hernandez. 

On October 4th, 2008, Brewer right-hander Dave Bush took the mound for the biggest game of his major league career. He tossed 5.1 innings, allowing only one run, while striking out three and walking no one, leading the Brewers to their first postseason victory in more than 25 years.
