The hot stove league has been dormant for most of the off-season. The stove was cold, you might say. This is no longer the case thanks to David Stearns and the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brew Crew acquired outfielder Christian Yelich from the Miami Marlins in exchange for four prospects, including top-prospect Lewis Brinson. Less than […]

Milwaukee Brewers should let it ride
Nobody expected the Milwaukee Brewers to be in first place this late in the season. This was supposed to be a rebuilding year and the Crew were destined to be sellers by Independence Day.

Milwaukee Brewers: 5 Players to Watch in 2017
