Brewers

Since the Milwaukee Brewers acquired Luis Urías in a trade with the San Diego Padres in November 2019, the young infielder has become an integral part of the Milwaukee clubhouse. But is his performance on the field what the Brewers need? 

Last month, former Brewer third baseman Sal Bando died at the age of 78 in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. Bando was an important figure in Brewers history. He was the club’s first major free agent signing and the team’s general manager for most of the 1990s. 

The Brewers have had some legendary closers in their 54-year franchise history. Let's look at the five best.

The Milwaukee Brewers traded first baseman Tyler White to the Atlanta Braves for cash considerations. They also had both catcher Omar Narvaez and pitcher Trevor Rosenthal start rehab assignments with Triple-A Nashville.

Closers may get the bulk of the credit out of any bullpen, but someone needs to pitch those innings between the starter and closer. Let's look at the best relievers the Brewers have fielded in the middle innings.

The MLB trade deadline is still eight weeks away, but the Milwaukee Brewers should be looking to add right now. After another tough loss Tuesday due to a lack of offense, and a shutout on Wednesday, it's clear Milwaukee needs a reliable bat. Baltimore Orioles first baseman Trey Mancini can provide the elixir.

Chris Carter is a name that many may not remember. The former Major League Baseball player played for several teams throughout his career but always managed to make an impact wherever he played.

Christian Yelich has continued his struggles this season. Fans are frustrated and Yelich is frustrated, the question is, where do we go from here? 

As has been the case for most of the 2022 Major League Baseball season, the Milwaukee Brewers pitching staff remains in flux. Prior to yesterday’s action the club recalled Trevor Kelley and optioned Jason Alexander to Triple-A Nashville.

On any list of the most devastating individual pitches in MLB, the primary weapon of Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams would have to be near the top. It’s a bat misser, but he can throw it for a strike and catch a batter staring on occasion. It neutralizes power as well as any offering in baseball. The Airbender is many things–it just isn’t a changeup. Williams throws a screwball, and that’s a fact that matters.

The Milwaukee Brewers were in action today against the Los Angeles Dodgers. While they didn’t put anyone new on the active roster, a pair of 40-man moves were made anyways. J.C. Mejia, who was on the 26-man roster, was optioned to Triple-A Nashville. Catcher Jakson Reetz was designated for assignment.

February 4 is 54 days away from Opening Day on March 30. Jake Cousins wears #54 when he's pitching out of the Brewers' bullpen.

Let's review Cousins' recent performance and see how things look for 2023.
