The Milwaukee Brewers added an intriguing arm in Ángel Zerpa to their bullpen on Saturday night, after executing a trade with the Kansas City Royals. Zerpa has the tools to be a very strong reliever at the back-end of Pat Murphy's bullpen.

The Milwaukee Brewers have agreed to send Isaac Collins and Nick Mears to the Kansas City Royals for left-handed reliever Angel Zerpa. The deal adds an intriguing arm to Milwaukee's bullpen while also clearing their outfield logjam.

The Milwaukee Brewers lost a considerable amount of upper level minor league outfield depth during the Rule 5 Draft last week. Matt Arnold and company have already replaced it by adding Akil Baddoo and Greg Jones to the organization.

On Friday night, amid a frenzy of free agent signings, the Texas Rangers signed former Milwaukee Brewers Danny Jansen and Tyler Alexander. Jansen was a potential target for the Brewers this offseason, who still need to add a third catcher to the mix.

The Milwaukee Brewers' surplus of outfielders is sure to cause a roster headache, but it could also give the team some valuable trade ammunition. The recent signing of Akil Baddoo could be the move that pushes them to trade one of their other outfielders.

The Milwaukee Brewers 2025 home Opening Day starter, Elvin Rodríguez, is headed back overseas to try and salvage his career. After pitching in Japan's NPB in 2023 and 2024, Rodríguez will join the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) in 2026.

At first glance, the Milwaukee Brewers' signing of former Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo might be somewhat surprising. However, there is plenty to like about Baddoo, and if it works out in Milwaukee, he could be a Brewer for the foreseeable future.

The Milwaukee Brewers' outfield logjam received another participant in the form of Akil Baddoo. How can the team sort through their roster glut before the 2026 season?

The Chicago Cubs added several former Milwaukee Brewers to their pitching staff in 2025. They are continuing that annoying trend by signing former Brewer Hoby Milner to a one-year deal for the 2026 season.

The Milwaukee Brewers have reportedly agreed to a one-year, major-league contract with outfielder Akil Baddoo. Given the team's current outfield depth already on their 40-man roster, it's a somewhat surprising move from the Brewers' front office.

The Milwaukee Brewers remain steadfast in their stance that they have to be blown away by a trade offer to move Freddy Peralta this offseason. The Baltimore Orioles have emerged as a near-perfect trade partner who might be willing to make a such an offer.

The Milwaukee Brewers weren't the most popular team in the United States in 2025, though their hometown fans made sure to show love to one particular player on the roster.

The popular and trusted projection model ZiPS isn’t sold on Andrew Vaughn repeating his Milwaukee Brewers breakout in 2026. Rather, ZiPS expects Vaughn to be closer to the player he was with the Chicago White Sox before he was traded to Milwaukee.

After the fiasco that occurred at last year's Rule 5 Draft, losing Shane Smith to the Chicago White Sox, the Milwaukee Brewers were quiet during the major league portion of the 2025 Rule 5 Draft. The minor league portion saw Milwaukee lose six prospects.

Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy appeared on MLB Network on Tuesday night and when asked about Jacob Misiorowski's role in 2026, referred to him as a "pitch-a-lot" guy. Miz is expected to serve mostly as a starting pitcher in 2026.

According to The Athletic, Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Nick Mears is drawing trade interest. Mears' reasonable salary and high chase rate are reasons for the growing interest in his services especially given the price of free agent relievers.

The Milwaukee Brewers have never been viewed favorably by various projection systems, though FanGraphs' ZiPS expects one of their rookie breakouts to continue his hot streak into 2026.
