The Milwaukee Brewers are gearing up for the upcoming season after a successful 2023 where they secured 93 wins. Despite this, the team faces challenges in reinforcing their roster during the offseason. With the return of Brandon Woodruff slated for 2025, the Brewers are still reeling from the loss of key players Devin Williams and Willy Adames. A recent trade brought Nestor Cortes and Caleb Durbin into the fold, providing some optimism.
To enhance their starting rotation, the Brewers are looking for a cost-effective option due to last year's injury struggles. Eric Cole from FanSided suggests that former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Kyle Gibson could be a viable candidate. While Gibson's performance may raise eyebrows, particularly his mid-4 ERA and tendency to allow baserunners, his reliability for covering innings could be just what Milwaukee needs.
