Spring training is almost here — and for the Milwaukee Brewers, that means questions. A lot of them.In this hour of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, Brewers broadcaster Jeff Levering joins the show to break down what camp will look like in Arizona, including the biggest mystery of all: who’s playing third base? 021126 JGC Hour 1With pitchers and catchers reporting soon and single-game tickets about to go on sale, the optimism of a new season is building — but the roster still has unanswered spots.⚾ The Third Base CompetitionLevering acknowledges the reality:Seven different Brewers played third base last season. Only one remains on the roster — and he logged just one inning there.This spring will determine:Whether a new face claims the jobIf the Brewers lean internalOr if flexibility becomes the default strategy againIt’s one of the most open competitions on the roster, and Levering expects it to be one of the most interesting battles of camp.🔄 Life After Freddie PeraltaThe conversation also turns to the Freddie Peralta trade, and whether Milwaukee moved him at the right time.Levering believes the Brewers likely got the best deal they could, noting the return mirrors what they previously netted for Corbin Burnes — young, controllable talent with major-league upside.The debate isn’t whether Peralta was valuable — it’s whether waiting would have produced a better return. Levering leans toward decisive action over deadline uncertainty.🧩 Replacing Versatility & DepthAnother quiet but important loss: Andrew Monasterio’s utility role.Levering explains why that final infield/bench spot matters more than fans realize:Late-inning defensive flexibilityPinch-running abilityFirst-base coverage in tight gamesDefensive substitutions under Pat Murphy’s systemSpring training will determine who fills that gap — and it’s a bigger job than it appears on paper.🌵 Camp Energy & ExpectationsLevering shares his excitement about heading to Arizona, noting:A mostly stable core rosterA few new faces to integrateHigh expectations internally despite external skepticismThe Brewers aren’t rebuilding — they’re recalibrating.And in Milwaukee, recalibrating usually means competing.⚖️ The Bottom LineThe Brewers enter spring training with:Stability in the rotationQuestions on the left side of the infieldA clubhouse built around continuity and cultureThe roster isn’t fully defined — and that’s what makes February compelling.🎧 A fresh look at Brewers baseball, roster battles, and the start of another season with Jeff Levering on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.Milwaukee Brewers, Jeff Levering, Brewers spring training, Freddie Peralta trade, Brewers third base competition, Brewers roster preview, Brewers utility player, MLB spring training, Brewers 2026 season, Wisconsin sports, ESPN Milwaukee, Jen Gabe and Chewy
