Will Luis Urias make the Brewers Opening Day roster?
The Milwaukee Brewers are at a crossroads of sorts at shortstop. Should they stay the course with Orlando Arcia or give top prospect Luis Urias a shot? There’s a non-zero chance that shortstop Luis Urias is the best acquisition of the Milwaukee Brewers off season.

Should the Brewers Get Involved In Nolan Arenado Trade Talks?
The Nolan Arenado trade conversation just took an interesting turn on Monday night. For most of the offseason, it’s been speculated that the Colorado Rockies would trade superstar third baseman Nolan Arenado just one year after signing him to an eight-year contract extension. While there was never a direct link to the Milwaukee Brewers, the […] Should the Brewers Get Involved In Nolan Arenado Trade Talks? - Reviewing the Brew - Reviewing the Brew - A Milwaukee Brewers Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

Brewers among teams interested in Pedro Strop, per report
Photo by Quinn Harris/ Could a longtime foe soon join the Brewers’ bullpen? We’re less than a month away from pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring Training in Phoenix, but that doesn’t mean David Stearns is done looking for improvements. With most of his attention spent trying to plug multiple holes across the diamond, it’s worth noting he hasn’t done much to address another potential question mark heading into the 2020 season — the bullpen. That may be changing, at least according to one report. Ben Nicholson-Smith from Sportsnet (and formerly MLB Trade Rumors) says the...

Vegas betting lines peg Brewers for 85 wins in 2020
Photo by George Rose/ Are you feeling lucky? We seem to be getting somewhat of a baseline of expectations for the 2020 Milwaukee Brewers, at least at the national level. After ZiPS projections pegged the Brewers for somewhere between 85 and 89 wins in the upcoming season, updated betting lines among Vegas sports books seem to be falling in the same general area. William Hill Betting is currently setting the line at 85 wins for the 2020 Brewers. That’s squarely in the middle of the league, ranking 15th in baseball and 7th in the National League, behind Los Angeles (98.5), Atlanta (92),...

Brewers: Is 2020 the year that Bobby Wahl steps up?
The Milwaukee Brewers were expecting reliever Bobby Wahl to grow into an important role with the bullpen in 2019. That didn’t happen. Is 2020 the year that Wahl puts it together?

Brewers: This off-season has been a disappointment
With free agency nearing its conclusion, it’s safe to say this off-season has been a major letdown for the Milwaukee Brewers. Believe or not, Spring training is just a few short weeks away.

Milwaukee Brewers 2020 Payroll Projection: Update 3

After making their first postseason in seven years and riding a late-season hot streak that propelled them to the NLCS, the Milwaukee Brewers opened up the pocketbooks like never before heading into the 2019 season. Splashy one-year signings of Yasmani Grandal and Mike Moustakas headlined the offseason dealings of David Stearns, and the club opened the year with a franchise-record payroll approaching $123 mil.

Could Cody Allen rebuild his value with the Brewers?
The Milwaukee Brewers still need a veteran right-hander to add depth to their bullpen. Should they look to add former closer Cody Allen?

Milwaukee Brewers trade target: Robbie Ray
Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports A potential ace or a pipe dream? The Milwaukee Brewers have been quite busy this offseason. They've lost players like Yasmani Grandal, Mike Moustakas, Eric Thames, Travis Shaw, Jimmy Nelson, and many more. They have in turn acquired a plethora of players like Luis Urias, Avisail Garcia, Omar Narvaez, Justin Smoak, and Jedd Gyorko (among others) to fill the multitude of empty roster spots. With all of the transactions completed to date, projection systems indicate a solid season from the Brew Crew. Depth seems to be the emphasis point for David Stearns as...
