Everyone is rightfully talking about the Brewers bullpen after a crazy trade deadline.. But there's a pitcher in the bullpen who deserves more recognition for his fantastic season. How the hell did that happen?

It was Trade Deadline Day across MLB, but minor league ball clubs most definitely still played. We witnessed LHP Antoine Kelly and OF Tristan Peters head to other organizations and, for that, we send our well wishes and congratulations to both young men. Both players entertained us considerably this season and we send our gratitude. I, for one, am immensely grateful for the time I witnessed their growth.

With vastly different lineups across all clubs, it was a 'getting to know you' evening for me. Biloxi's outfield was suddenly at Triple-A. Wisconsin's line-up was suddenly even thinner. Carolina took their youth movement and simply added to it. And 2022 draft picks were scattered amongst the Brewers ACL ball clubs. Let's see how the teams fared!

The MLB trade deadline is often exciting and chaotic, but it's entirely disappointing for some teams. With one of the top rotations in baseball and a deep bullpen, the Milwaukee Brewers approached the deadline needing offensive consistency. They failed the fans by adding zero bats to the roster, a ridiculous and almost unacceptable result.

What a whirlwind of a few days it’s been for the Milwaukee Brewers. After dealing star closer Josh Hader to the San Diego Padres for Taylor Rogers, they then acquired Matt Bush, and have rounded out a new pen trio with the Giants Trevor Rosenthal.

Across 12 years in Major League Baseball, Jonathan Lucroy played 1,210 games. 1,098 of those came behind the dish, and across seven seasons, 805 of them came in a Milwaukee Brewers uniform. He’s now called it a career and will be enshrined into Milwaukee’s Wall of Honor this weekend.

Normally our Tuesday morning reports are rather light given that the four full-season affiliates enjoy their Monday's off. But today's report includes multiple transaction updates, an injury report from none other than Hendry Mendez himself, a big "mea culpa" from yours truly, and much more.

An important part of the Josh Hader trade - and long may Josh Hader live joyously in the hearts of Brewers fans - were two highly-touted but possibly (probably likely) off-your-radar Padres prospects in OF Esteury Ruiz and LHP Robert Gasser. Ruiz will begin his Brewers career in Nashville (AAA) while Gasser will take the mound for Biloxi (AA). So, who are these prospects anyhow and what might we expect? And do you have any cool clips of them playing? Yes. Yes, I do. I am here to give you a brief overview and some general thoughts. So, let's get to it!

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.

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.

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?

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

Biloxi needed 11 innings, but rewarded the home fans with a walk-off grand slam. The Mudcats lost a top prospect in a scary wall collision but kept their composure to win in 10 innings. Wisconsin was beaten handily, while Nashville is ruing its missed chances in a 2-1 loss.

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.

The suddenly no-longer struggling Wisconsin club grabbed the sole win among the full-season teams Saturday, with plenty of feel-good moments within their game. There were some interesting parallels between affiliates on this day, both positive and negative, noted in the commentary below.

The Major League Baseball trade deadline is almost upon us. Let’s hop in the DeLorean and revisit one of the most controversial trades in Brewers history as told through the eyes of eight-year-old me.

The full-season affiliates took three of four contests Friday night, with the Timber Rattlers victory especially sweet coming off a rough ten-game slide. Freddy Peralta and Jake Cousins continued successful (so far, knock wood) rehab stints. Prepare for the Sal Frelick era in Milwaukee, hopefully commencing as early as May or June of 2023 (the cynic would say once he clears the "Super-Two" arbitration calendar bar). Regardless, it was a pleasant evening, let's kick things off.

In 1970, baseball was back in Milwaukee (much to the chagrin of Seattle fans). Sadly, it wasn't very good baseball. This was an expansion club after all. So, while wins were few and far between, Brewer fans did get to enjoy the performance of Tommy Harper, the organization's first all-star.
