They opted to trade a few young bats as well as their ace, Freddy Peralta, in order to land a haul of young prospects. This decision made the Brewers slightly worse, but it opened up their World Series window for much longer than it was before.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6j\">But there are still some question marks with the team. The biggest question marks with the team revolve around their young, but improving, pitching staff. They have a lot of talent in their organization, but only a few pitchers are truly ready to help carry a big league rotation.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6m\">MLB.com&#8217;s Sam Dykstra, Jim Callis, and Jonathan Mayo recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/cardinals\/news\/potential-impact-callup-for-each-club-2026\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">put together a list with one potential impact callup<\/a> for each team in MLB. For the Brewers, they highlighted pitching prospect Logan Henderson, who&#8217;s been up with Milwaukee on a few different occasions, but sits in Triple-A right now<\/p>\n<p>Logan Henderson should have a big impact on the Brewers this year<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01knskgnx5d4q7wnpw64.jpg\" alt=\"Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Logan Henderson\" title=\"Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Logan Henderson\" width=\"3600\" height=\"2025\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"6z\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Logan Henderson (43) throws in the bullpen during spring training workouts Sunday, February 15, 2026, at American Family Fields of Phoenix in Phoenix, Arizona. | Dave Kallmann \/ Milwaukee Journal Sentinel \/ USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"73\">&#8220;We\u2019re cheating a little here since Henderson joined the Brewers last Saturday as the 27th man on the roster for a doubleheader and made an abbreviated two-inning start before being sent back to Triple-A Nashville,&#8221; they wrote. &#8220;That said, you can bet the 24-year-old righty will still get at least a few more cracks in Milwaukee\u2019s rotation, especially as he gets built more up following elbow soreness this spring. Henderson\u2019s four-seamer plays above-average with a flat approach angle, and his changeup looks like a plus pitch with major armside movement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"76\">Henderson has bounced around between the big leagues and Triple-A over the last two seasons. He was excellent in five starts last year, posting a 1.78 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and an 11.7 K\/9.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"79\">This season, Henderson made one start with the Brewers. He tossed two innings and surrendered three hits, two runs, and a walk, while striking out three hitters.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7c\">But the potential is there. Henderson looks to be a staple in the future of the Brewers&#8217; pitching staff behind players like Quinn Priester and Jacob Misiorowski. Milwaukee would likely love for Henderson to make a name for himself in the big leagues this season. Promoting him back to Milwaukee would be the best decision this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Milwaukee Brewers opted for a bit of a hybrid rebuild this offseason, though it wasn&#8217;t a rebuild&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":671882,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2401],"tags":[5,136,843,59,4280,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-671881","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-milwaukee-brewers","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-brewers","10":"tag-milwaukee","11":"tag-milwaukee-brewers","12":"tag-milwaukeebrewers","13":"tag-mlb"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116376543670259779","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=671881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/671882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=671881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=671881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=671881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
