In a day that was filled with the Milwaukee Bucks making moves, the Milwaukee Brewers had some news out there as well. Some might find that crazy since the baseball offseason is slower than me running a 10K. But yes, it’s true. We have some small Brewers rumors as well as some legit news about the future of the team. Milwaukee is planting the seeds for their offseason. When will the plant grow? Time will tell.

RUMOR 1: From Robert Murray, the Brewers are looking to upgrade their offense. Murray, who formerly worked for The Athletic Wisconsin, and was honestly the best beat reporter in the state at that time, is so well connected. Per Murray, Milwaukee knows that they need to better offensively. My take on 2020 Brewers was rather simple. They needed more versions of Avisail Garcia and fewer versions of Eric Sogard. Brewers did get the PR piece out there about the financial situation is tough for the Crew yet again, so, this might be hard to pull off.

RUMOR 2: Also from Murray, the Brewers are going to listen to Josh Hader trade proposals. I’m not shocked at this at all. Devin Williams made this easier for them. This always seemed like the logical move. And a part of me thinks Rumor 1 and Rumor 2 are very connected. The way that Milwaukee can make their offense better is by getting a haul for Hader. Take a team like the New York Mets who might be interested, Jeff McNeil, J.D. Davis, Brandon Nimmo could all help Milwaukee immediately.

NEWS: Brewers are not going to let Mets talk to Stearns. This is a no-brainer. Stearns is a New York guy who grew up cheering for the Mets. It is a lateral move, therefore, Milwaukee can deny him that opportunity. Since Milwaukee promoted Stearns this offseason already, they could not interview for the GM position. Brewers took care of Stearns in the past and I’m certain they’re going to keep that up.

Doubt the Brewers will have any Bucks-like moves, but you never know.
