One of the highest profile free agents in baseball this year is/was Prince Fielder. It was believed that he was looking for a deal in the neighborhood of eight years, $200 million. And obviously, he wasn’t worth that because no one would give it to him. Hell, that’s why he was on the market for [...]
Have you heard all the rumors regarding Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder and where he might sign? No? We haven’t either. It’s been pretty damn quiet for the chubby guy this offseason, and when it’s this quiet surrounding someone that’s this good, it probably means that your demands are too damn high. Just ask [...]
You’ve probably heard by now that the reigning 2011 National League MVP may have had some help this year. Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun had an outstanding year, but it would seem that he cheated. It came out a couple days ago that he tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs and is facing a 50-game suspension. [...]
One of the bigger names out there on the market (sort of) is Milwaukee Brewers overweight first baseman Prince Fielder. He’s one of the best sluggers in all of baseball, so one would think that the Brewers will do everything they can to keep him. However, he’s supposedly looking for something in the neighborhood of [...]
The St. Louis Cardinals picked a bad time to lose 99% of their lineup. They are currently tied for first place in the NL Central with the Milwaukee Brewers and have now lost one of the best hitters in baseball. That’s right, Albert Pujols is going bye-bye with a fractured forearm. The team is saying [...]
Actually, we don’t think they had anything to do with it. But, how great would that be if WikiLeaks was the first media outlet to break the news of Rickie Weeks’ new contract? What if Julian Assange was Weeks’ agent? Anyway, you may have heard by now that the Milwaukee Brewers have signed 2B Rickie [...]
Multiple sources tell Tony Jackson of ESPNLosAngeles.com that the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers could be working on a blockbuster deal. Specifically, the deal would theoretically send Prince Fielder to the Dodgers in exchange for James Loney and Jonathan Broxton. The Brewers have to believe that they can’t sign Fielder to a long-term deal. [...]
Let’s be honest. No one cares about a Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers game right now. Neither team is in it and no one cares. But apparently, someone slipped a fake press release into the press pack, and we’re pretty sure that Cubs GM Jim Hendry didn’t find it amusing. Check out the image, it’s [...]
The one thing that could quell all the trade talks involving Milwaukee Brewers 1B Prince Fielder is a contract extension. Eligible for free agency after the 2011 season, Fielder and the team are not discussing a new contract right now according to GM Doug Melvin. “There’s nothing going on at this time,” said Melvin. The [...]
The Milwaukee Brewers have finally decided to put their foot down when it comes to pitchers that stink. According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, they have cut ties with 35-year old RHP Jeff Suppan. Suppan was pulled from the starting rotation after just two starts this year and was relegated mostly to mop-up duties. Suppan was [...]
According to SI’s Jon Heyman, the Milwaukee Brewers will attempt to lock up Prince Fielder with a long-term deal this offseason. Talks aren’t expected to get going until January, and while they really need to address their pitching, this is probably still a very smart move. Fielder hit 46 HR’s with 141 RBI’s and a [...]
The Milwaukee Brewers have sent shortstop J.J. Hardy to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for speedy centerfielder Carlos Gomez. Hardy hit .229 with 11 HR’s in 2009, and many experts think that stinks. It’s not a shock that he was traded although many speculated that the Brewers would get pitching in return. Gomez came to [...]
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Corey Hart is done for the season (the WHOLE season??) with possible compression fractures in his hand. He injured the hand on Tuesday when diving back to first base. “It sucks,” Hart said, making excuses. “I started off so bad when I came out (of spring training). Every time I start to [...]
A major-league source tells Foxsports.com’s Ken Rosenthal that the Milwaukee Brewers have placed a handful of players on waivers, including closer Trevor Hoffman, outfielder Mike Cameron, infielder Craig Counsell, catcher Jason Kendall, right-hander Braden Looper and second baseman Felipe Lopez. Given our last post, could the Phillies be interested in Trevor Hoffman? He has no-trade [...]
Milwaukee Brewers manager Ken Macha was on 1050 ESPN Radio New York this afternoon with Michael Kay when he was asked if Willie Randolph wanted revenge as the Brew Crew got set to play the New York Mets tonight. Macha said he didn’t know if it was revenge so much as “justice.” He also added [...]
