Player Information @Brewers

[Milwaukee Brewers @Brewers]

The most electric 2B in the sport ‼️

Congrats to @BRiCEcTuRANG on his first career Gold Glove

[Evan Laskowski @EvanLasko]

Walk differential doesn't have as strong of a correlation, but it is still evident that are able to have more walks at the plate than their opponent tend to win more.

[Evan Laskowski @EvanLasko]

Teams that limit their strikeouts at the plate and have an ability to strike opponents out tend to win a lot of games in the regular season and the top percentage in this have had post season success as well.

[Evan Laskowski @EvanLasko]

Of the 50 highest differentials over the last 25 seasons, 35 have made the postseason and 10 of them have made it to the World Series.

Position players that are entering the last year of their contract in 2024 (barring an extension):

Juan Soto
Willy Adames
Pete Alonso
Jose Altuve
Alex Bregman

[Evan Laskowski @EvanLasko]

MVP caliber position players who are in a contract year might be more valuable than expected. On average, players who are in a contract year and have previously received MVP votes, improve their WAR by an average 1.20.

[Evan Laskowski @EvanLasko]

Pitchers that are entering the last year of their contract in 2024 (barring an extension):

Corbin Burnes
Shane Bieber
Tyler Glasnow
Walker Buehler
Nathan Eovaldi
Gerrit Cole (can opt-out)

[Evan Laskowski @EvanLasko]

Cy Young caliber pitchers who are in a contract year haven't shown to increase their performance much, on average. Since 2010 pitchers to receive Cy Young votes prior to their contract season have only increased their WAR by 0.32.

[Evan Laskowski @EvanLasko]

Since 2015 (excluding 2020) these have been the World Series winners with their payroll rank:

2015 - Royals (16)
2016 - Cubs (14)
2017 - Astros (18)
2018 - Red Sox (1)
2019 - Nationals (7)
2021 - Braves (10)
2022 - Astros (8)
2023 - Rangers (4)

[Evan Laskowski @EvanLasko]

In the regular season there has been a trend, recently, that shows the more money spent on the players, the more wins come. However, the teams that spend the most don't necessarily win the World Series every year. Only 2 teams have won a WS with a top 5 payroll since 2015.

The San Francisco Giants are calling up outfielder Wade Meckler, sources tell ESPN. He started the year in High-A and this will be his fourth stop. He was an eighth-round pick in 2022 and is just the fourth player to make the big leagues, with the three others Los Angeles Angels.

BREAKING: A deal is in place between the minor league players in the MLBPA and Major League Baseball on the historic first collective-bargaining agreement for minor leaguers, union officials tell ESPN. Deal is five years and includes at least 2x pay at all levels of the minors.

Brewers lose a lot with Hader this season but adding a reliever of Rogers caliber and starter insurance with Lamet might help the team in the long term
