Milwaukee Brewers: An MLB analyst boldly asserts that the team’s offensive lineup is “better now than it was at any point last year.”

Over the past week, the Milwaukee Brewers have been very active. They began their transaction frenzy by severing ties with Corbin Burnes. They subsequently signed Gary Sanchez and Jakob Jun to $7 million contracts, reinvesting Burnes’ $15 million salary back into this year’s squad. As part of the Burnes trade package, big leaguers DL Hall and Joey Ortiz were also acquired from the Baltimore Orioles

Taking positions one through nine without accounting for a designated hitter, these players are anticipated to be important members of the Brewers attack in 2024.

Gary Sanchez and William Contreras as catchers
Jake Bauers and Rhys Hoskins are at first base; Brice Turang and Oliver Dunn are at second base.
Playoffs: Willy Adames
Andruw Monasterio, Tyler Black, Vinny Capra, Oliver Dunn, Owen Miller, and Tyler Black are at third base. Christian Yelich, Garrett Mitchell, Sal Frelick, Joey Wiemer, Jackson Chourio, and Blake Perkins are in the outfield.

New additions from a season ago include power hitters Gary Sanchez, Rhys Hoskins, and Jake Bauers.  Additional newcomers are Oliver Dunn, Vinny Capra, top prospect Jackson Chourio, and presumably Tyler Black at some point.

Is the Brewers current lineup entering 2024 better than their best 2023 lineup?

Milwaukee’s current lineup is arguably better than it was at any point last year, according to MLB Analyst Dan O’Dowd. He made a point of mentioning on MLB Network how Rhys Hoskins and Gary Sanchez enhance this offense.

“Now that Hoskins and [Gary Sánchez] are in that lineup… They have, in my opinion, a far stronger lineup currently than they had at any point during the previous campaign.

What was the best 2023 Milwaukee Brewers lineup? 

The best Brewers lineup in 2023 would have been constructed at some point post trade deadline. Last year Carlos Santana and Mark Canha joined the team and were huge down the stretch for Milwaukee. In no particular order a lineup consisting of William Contreras, Carlos Santana, Andruw Monasterio, Willy Adames, Josh Donaldson, Christian Yelich, Sal Frelick, Mark Canha, and Garrett Mitchell would have been their best.
