Brewers Set Opening Day Roster, Trade for Woodford

0:00It's March 25, I'm Cory with the story. This is Milwaukee Brewer's news today, driven by AI and built for fans. The Milwaukee Brewer's have set their opening day roster at 26 players, with a surprise trade shaking things up at the end. They picked up right-hander Jake Woodford from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for Minor Leager Casey Hunt, just this week. That move bumped Eastern McGeed at AAA Nashville since Woodford has no Minor League options left. Many players include Ketchers, William Contreras and Gary Sanchez along with Infielders, Jake Bowers, David Hamilton, Joey Ortiz, Louise Rangipho, Bryce Tarrang, and Andrew Vaughn. Out in the field are Jackson Churrio, South Relic, Brandon Lockridge, Garrett Mitchell, and Christian Yelich, who will mostly serve as the designated hitter, but could see time and left. On the pitching side, starters are lefty, Kyle Harrison, plus right-handers Jacob Missyirowski, Chad Patrick, Brandon Sprote, and Brandon Woodruff.

1:00The bullpen features relievers, Grant Anderson, Aaron Ashby, DL Hall, Jared Koning, Trevor McGill, Abner Urubay, Jake Woodford, and Angel Zerpa. It's notable with only one lefty starter, but more than half the relievers throwing South Paw. Fans and analysts are watching have a center-field duo of Mitchell and Lockridge performs, if Joey Ortiz rebounds at second base, and whether Luis. McGill follows sticks at third. Jake Bowers impressed this spring, and eyes are on young arms in the rotation, plus Brandon Woodruff's velocity. Early gains will test this group, especially with prospects like Robert Gasser, waiting in the wings, and more returns on the horizon, setting the stage, for potential tweaks as the season heats up.
