Brewers

It’s been a wild week for former Minnesota Twins starter Chi Chi Gonzalez. He had his contract selected following an opt out and now is in a new organization following a DFA.

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.

It's late June and there is a tie at the top of the division. Each game between these two teams is crucial and now, we have four in a row at home. Let's get to it.

New York isn't done with Milwaukee yet. The Bronx moves out taking Judge and LeMaheiu with them. Queens moves in with Mad Max, Alonso and Lindor to boot. How will the Crew fair against the other team from the other league and other borough? 

Cy Young Corbin Burnes and workhorse Brandon Woodruff are the Milwaukee Brewers' pocket aces. Freddy Peralta has the stuff to be the third man in line, and Adrian Houser is often underrated; Eric Lauer has made a case that he should be the final arm in a "Big Three."

It's counterintuitive to imagine a bad team coming from New England, but alas, the shambolic Red Sox have fallen to last place in their brutal division. Will they even be the team as described in this post, or will their veterans be traded away before this series can begin?

Veteran outfielder Lorenzo Cain reached 10 years of service time while with the Milwaukee Brewers today, and despite that being a substantial milestone, it was met with him being designated for assignment. Outfielder Jonathan Davis had his contract selected from Triple-A Nashville.

The Brewers announced via their Twitter feed that they have acquired catcher Alex Jackson from the Miami Marlins for infielder Hayden Cantrelle and right-handed pitcher Alexis Ramirez. Jackson was assigned to AAA-Nashville, but has displayed some promising power in the minors. But he didn't cost nothing. 

With injuries plaguing so many regulars, bench players have been thrust into the bigger roles. Some have responded. Some, not so much. Check out our grades and see if you agree. 

In all likelihood, Milwaukee will not trade for big name players like Juan Soto or Shohei Ohtani. As the August 2nd trade deadline looms, let’s take a look at a couple of players that the Brewers could realistically acquire without draining the farm system.

With Father’s Day upon us, I thought I’d get a little personal. This is a story of growing up without a father, how my love of baseball began, and how my father not being around was his loss, not mine. 

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