The Milwaukee Brewers exercised club options for $8.5 million on pitcher Chase Anderson and $7.5 million on first baseman Eric Thames on Monday.  They traded Anderson to the Toronto Blue Jays for minor league 1B/OF Chad Spanberger.  They payed a $1 million buyout to Thames.

The Brewers also exercised an option on catcher Manny Pina for $1.85 million for 2020.

The moves clear around $15 million off the books for the coming season.

Anderson went 8-4 with a 4.21 ERA over 139 innings last season.  He spent four seasons with the Brewers, going 38-27 with a 3.83 ERA in 118 games (112 starts).

Brewers drop series opener against Toronto

May 24, 2017 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Brewers dropped back-to-back games for the first time since May 5-6, falling to the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 in their series opener on Tuesday night at Miller Park.

The Blue Jays scored a pair of runs in the second inning and twice more in the fifth off of Brewers starter Jimmy Nelson.

The two run second inning could have been worse for the Brewers.  Toronto loaded the bases with nobody out but Nelson wiggled out of the jam without any major damage.

In the fifth inning, Jose Bautista reached on a single with two outs, then Kendrys Morales clubbed a long home run to center field to give Toronto a 4-0 lead. [Read more…]

Chase Anderson tossed seven innings of 3-hit, shutout ball as the Milwaukee Brewers pulled out a 2-0 win and two-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.

Anderson walked two and struck out seven and has now pitched 13 innings in two starts, allowing only six  hits and one run with four walks and 11 strikeouts.  He improved to 1-0 on the season with a 0.69 ERA.

The Brewers got a second inning run-scoring double from Keon Broxton and a sixth inning solo home run from Jonathan Villar to account for their two runs.

World Baseball Classic hero Marcus Stroman took the loss for the Blue Jays.  He went the full nine innings, allowing seven hits.  He fell to 1-1 on the season and still owns the only victory for the Blue Jays, who fell to 1-7. [Read more…]

Brewers play spoiler in Toronto’s opener

April 12, 2017 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Brewers got off to a good start and beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 before 48,456 fans in Toronto’s home opener at the Rogers Centre.  It was the sixth consecutive home opening loss for the Blue Jays, who are tied with Philadelphia for the longest active streak.

The Brewers and Blue Jays hadn’t played in Toronto since July 2, 2014, with Wily Peralta and J.A. Happ starting for their respective teams.  That turned out to be the same matchup last night.

The Brewers scored two runs in the first inning on Keon Broxton’s first home run of the season.  Travis Shaw tripled to center and Domingo Santana added an RBI single.

Troy Tulowitzki had a pair of run-scoring doubles for the Blue Jays, but Wily Peralta held Toronto in check for six innings to earn his second win of the season.

Domingo Santana also clubbed his second home run of the season in the fifth inning to give the Brewers their fourth run, the eventual game winner.

Neftali Feliz pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning to record his second save of the season.

Chase Anderson pitches the series finale for the Brewers tonight.
