There are some things that will need to be worked out with it, but you’re not gonna find much more violent swing from a 17 year old than what Ricki Moneys did to this baseball during live ABs at the Brewers Dominican complex.

What's next for the Brewers after the Caleb Durbin trade with Boston? Breaking down the Brewers' unexpected trade of three infielders to the Boston Red Sox right before spring training.

Let’s make sense of this trade for the Brewers β€” as well as what’s next (Isaac Paredes?)

No official update from the team yet, but some very positive news from Frank Cairone’s own Instagram: A video of him lightly throwing one month after being hospitalized in a serious car crash.

Ngl, I’d reverse course in a second and be all in on Grok if it could find me good video of DSL guys. Until then, AI sucks

Lots of really good stuff in here. I always really appreciate Longenhagen and Co's write-ups.

My favorite, of course, is the Jaron DeBerry write-up.

How The Brewers Exploited A Draft Inefficiency To Help Build One Of MLB's Top Systems Ben Badler dives into recent Brewers draft strategy to highlight a unique approach that has helped Milwaukee gain an edge on the competition.

Some good stuff on Baseball America today (along with their updated T10 prospects)

I'd really prefer other organizations *not* copy the strategy though, so that the pool of players available for this strategy remains as large as possible for the Brewers lol

Definitely leans that way yeah. League average OPS is .771 this year, was .809 last season (for reference, MLB was .719 this past season and the AAA International League was .750)

Yeah, funny enough the debate last year was about Raleigh and if he had given even ballpark to similar value to what Raleigh did this year, then maybe it would’ve been picked up lol

Jeferson Quero’s 4th homer of the Venezuelan Winter League left the bat at 106.9 MPH

They’ve really only pissed off one player and from what I’ve heard, I would not count that guy as a clubhouse leader, at all.

I don’t think this is going to be an issue. William knew he was getting more in 2025 (the most non-Posey catcher money in Arb 1) so the Brewers had this flexibility in 2026.
