Last winter, the Milwaukee Brewers selected southpaw Connor Thomas in the Rule-5 Draft. He formerly had been in the St. Louis Cardinals organization, but Matt Arnold and company elected to take a chance on him after posting a 2.89 ERA over 90.1 innings in Triple-A in 2024.
The Atlanta Braves have had a couple of quiet signings so far this offseason. Along with catcher Chadwick Tromp, they signed right-hander Connor Thomas to a minor league contract last week.
Although the offseason hasn't fully started across Major League Baseball, now is the time of the year when we start to see some minor moves start to pop up.
The stars were out in full force during the 2025 World Series. From Max Scherzer in Toronto to Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, and of course, Shohei Ohtani, in Los Angeles, there was no shortage of the game's best under the brightest lights.
Early in the 2025 MLB season, the Milwaukee Brewers saw their starting rotation suffer a plethora of injuries that landed just about everyone on the injured list.
The Milwaukee Brewers selected left-handed pitcher Connor Thomas from the St. Louis Cardinals in the Rule 5 Draft back in December. Thomas made his big league debut this season with Milwaukee and appeared in two games.
Do you ever wish you could go back and do a decision over again? The Milwaukee Brewers likely do after yet another tough break for one of their offseason additions, left-handed pitcher Connor Thomas.
He was selected out of the Cardinals’ organization in the Rule 5 Draft back in December, and the 26-year-old is now nearing his big-league debut in what will be his sixth season of pro ball.
Connor Thomas has quietly been one of the Brewers’ better performers this spring. Perhaps that’s a fitting beginning to his stint with a new team. Listed generously at six feet tall, Thomas is not an intimidating presence on the mound.
America's favorite pastime has more memorable performances than any sport. As such, figuring out which pitchers had the best seasons ever is no easy task.
The Brewers fervently believe that Elvin Rodriguez can help them win games, but as was true of Grant Anderson and Grant Wolfram, it's more likely that he'll do so after Memorial Day.
The St. Louis Cardinals did not accomplish anything this offseason. They promised their fans a reset, which many assumed would include trading certain players.
The Milwaukee Brewers had a very quiet offseason. Their only free agency moves were the signings of pitchers Tyler Alexander and Grant Wolfram, and they also traded Devin Williams to the New York Yankees and lost Willy Adames.
Days before shipping Devin Williams to the New York Yankees in what’s likely to be one of their most significant offseason transactions, the Brewers added a couple of left-handed pitchers to their 40-man roster during the winter meetings.
And who the Cardinals lost, including Connor Thomas My, how times have changed. Earlier in the week, I realized that I had the post following Rule 5 day.
The Milwaukee Brewers have a reputation for identifying and nurturing under-the-radar pitching talent, especially players who have struggled with other organizations.
