    Dom Cotroneo on The Homer Hour
    Mar 3 2026
    Brewers insider Dom Cotroneo joined The Homer Hour to break down what’s happening in Spring Training and why the Brewers’ long-term plan continues to work. The conversation centered around Milwaukee’s patient, development-driven model and why investing in pitching depth and player development makes more sense than overspending on veteran arms. Dom explained how the Brewers are handling Jacob Misiorowski’s workload, why 150 innings could be the target, and how the organization is building toward October rather than chasing April headlines. He also highlighted other arms to watch this season and made the case that Milwaukee’s roster heading into camp may actually be stronger than the one that won 97 games last year. The big takeaway: the Brewers’ sustainable blueprint isn’t about splash — it’s about smart, steady, long-term success.

  • Jeff Levering Breaks Down Brewers Spring Training, Third Base Battle & Freddie Trade Reaction

    Jeff Levering Breaks Down Brewers Spring Training, Third Base Battle & Freddie Trade Reaction
    Feb 11 2026
    Spring training is almost here — and for the Milwaukee Brewers, that means questions. A lot of them. In this hour of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, Brewers broadcaster Jeff Levering joins the show to break down what camp will look like in Arizona, including the biggest mystery of all: who’s playing third base? 021126 JGC Hour 1 With pitchers and catchers reporting soon and single-game tickets about to go on sale, the optimism of a new season is building — but the roster still has unanswered spots. ⚾ The Third Base Competition Levering acknowledges the reality: Seven different Brewers played third base last season. Only one remains on the roster — and he logged just one inning there. This spring will determine: Whether a new face claims the job If the Brewers lean internal Or if flexibility becomes the default strategy again It’s one of the most open competitions on the roster, and Levering expects it to be one of the most interesting battles of camp. 🔄 Life After Freddie Peralta The conversation also turns to the Freddie Peralta trade, and whether Milwaukee moved him at the right time. Levering believes the Brewers likely got the best deal they could, noting the return mirrors what they previously netted for Corbin Burnes — young, controllable talent with major-league upside. The debate isn’t whether Peralta was valuable — it’s whether waiting would have produced a better return. Levering leans toward decisive action over deadline uncertainty. 🧩 Replacing Versatility & Depth Another quiet but important loss: Andrew Monasterio’s utility role. Levering explains why that final infield/bench spot matters more than fans realize: Late-inning defensive flexibility Pinch-running ability First-base coverage in tight games Defensive substitutions under Pat Murphy’s system Spring training will determine who fills that gap — and it’s a bigger job than it appears on paper. 🌵 Camp Energy & Expectations Levering shares his excitement about heading to Arizona, noting: A mostly stable core roster A few new faces to integrate High expectations internally despite external skepticism The Brewers aren’t rebuilding — they’re recalibrating. And in Milwaukee, recalibrating usually means competing. ⚖️ The Bottom Line The Brewers enter spring training with: Stability in the rotation Questions on the left side of the infield A clubhouse built around continuity and culture The roster isn’t fully defined — and that’s what makes February compelling. 🎧 A fresh look at Brewers baseball, roster battles, and the start of another season with Jeff Levering on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.
