Happy 88th birthday to Mr. Baseball, @Brewers legend, the of all s, Bob...

Negotiations continue for a new CBA. Meanwhile, a former Brewer falls off the Hall of Fame ballot.
Here’s a quick roundup of the news from yesterday.
The league and MLBPA met for the second straight day yesterday as negotiations for a new CBA continue. Jesse Rogers and Jeff Passan of ESPN report that the league offered a bonus pool for pre-arbitration players and a bump of the minimum salary for first-year players to $615,000. The players want higher...
Yardley, 31, is a submariner with a massive ground-ball rate. He had some success in fairly brief stints with the Padres and Brewers in 2019-20 before being roughed up with Milwaukee this past season.

Coming Thursday, comments will look different.
Hey everyone. I’m Tanya, and I oversee all of our baseball communities for SB Nation.
This Thursday will be a big day for our community: we’re moving our comments to a new platform, developed especially for SB Nation. All of our MLB communities will be moving to the new platform, and I’m excited about the change.

The two sides met yesterday on the lockout, and there was positive and negative news.
On Monday, MLB owners and the MLBPA met face-to-face for the first time in a few months for negotiations on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. The results were a bit mixed. Jeff Passan of ESPN.com details some of the negotiations from Monday. The MLBPA did drop a few of their demands, dropping the demands for earlier free agency and reducing the amount of revenue sharing...

The lockout approaching two months, but still little progress made.
As the MLB lockout approaches the two month mark, there isn’t much to update from when it began. The two sides have barely met, though they did meet on January 13 online. The start of spring training is scheduled to be in a few weeks, but it’s looking less and less likely that will start on time. However, there is still time. ESPN reports that a face-to-face...

Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff, and Luis Urias lead the projections.

Both have been working in the minor leagues in recent seasons.
Last week, the Brewers took a hit to their coaching staff when Steve Karsay stepped down from the coaching staff, wanting to spend more time with his family. That left a hole in their team to fill before the upcoming season. The Brewers decided to fill that spot internally, as well as promote another coach from within their organization. They promoted...

The All-Star catcher’s second-half stats are misleading and ought not to be a major cause for concern moving forward.
If you were to look at Omar Narvaez’s splits for the 2021 season, the disparity between his first half and second half numbers would likely be the first thing to catch your attention.
Narvaez was excellent in the first half of the season, reaching base at a .396 clip while adding eight home runs. His 133 wRC+ was second among...
In Karsay’s three seasons with the Brewers, Milwaukee relievers have led all bullpens in strikeout rate (27.9%) and ranked second in SIERA (3.78).
USA TODAY NETWORK
Steve Karsay has served as bullpen coach for the past three seasons.
Follow the 2021 season, the Milwaukee Brewers were expecting to retain all of their coaches except for their hitting coaches. The team already hired Ozzie Timmons and Connor Dawson to be co-hitting coaches to replace the spots held by Andy Haines and Jacob Cruz. However, it looks like they may have another spot to fill. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting that bullpen coach Steve Karsay is...

Intriguing adjustments made over the past couple of seasons make the lefty reliever worth keeping an eye on.
If you forgot that Hoby Milner is still on the Brewers 40-man roster, you are forgiven. After all, it’s pretty easy to forget about a soon-to-be 31-year-old reliever who regularly rode the shuttle between Triple-A and the big leagues and pitched primarily in a mop-up role. In 21 2?3 innings with the Brewers, he put up just a 5.40 ERA.
Milner is...

The Brewers add a first baseman on a minor league deal.
While the major league remains in lockout, the minor league season preparations continue. Their schedule is set to continue as planned since they are not a part of the lockout. This also remains an opportunity for the Brewers to add some players on minor league deals as they usually do, and take a look at them as possible additions to the major league team. One of those players is Tyler White, who...

Devin Williams missed the postseason after breaking his hand, and The Athletic gets more information on the injury.
After the Milwaukee Brewers clinched the NL Central near the end of September, there was a lot of celebration over the Brewers taking the division title again for the second time in four years. Unfortunately, that celebrating was tempered pretty quickly, when news came out a few days later that reliever Devin Williams broke his hand...
Williams had surgery on his pitching hand, which he had broken when punching a wall.
The Brewers’ star rotation trio of Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff and Freddy Peralta has drawn plenty of well-deserved attention.
In terms of free agents, there are only five remaining catchers who played more than 35 games in 2021.

Not only is Burnes talented enough to gamble on himself, but committing more money to a player they already control may not be in Milwaukee’s best interests.
Brewers President of Baseball Operations David Stearns has often described his strategy for the club as a three-fold approach: acquire, develop, and retain talent.
Under Stearns, the organization has excelled on the acquisition and development fronts. Since 2017, they have finished above .500 in...
