One of the Brewers' newest additions could make an immediate impact

The Milwaukee Brewers decided it was time to move on from Freddy Peralta this winter. They ended up trading him alongside Tobias Myers to the New York Mets in exchange for Brandon Sproat and Jett Williams. 

Williams is a high-OBP speedster who has the ability to play all over the diamond. Sproat, on the otherhand, is a hard-throwing righty who the fanbase should get familiar with. 

He made his MLB debut with the Mets late into the 2025 season and showed promise. He started four games, posting a 0-2 record with a 4.79 ERA on 20.2 innings of work.

One of the Brewers' newest additions could make an immediate impact

While some prospect arms have come up and dominated when they got a cup of coffee, that just should not be expected. It is quite a different game between the minors and the big leagues. 

Getting those few starts helped Sproat understand the pace of the game and what to expect at this level. With a full spring to work with after getting that experience, the crew over at MLB.com believes he could be in the starting rotation on Opening Day. 

"Another new face in a new place, Sproat should be right in Milwaukee's rotation mix coming off his move from the Mets in the Freddy Peralta/Tobias Myers trade. The 6-foot-3 right-hander made four uneven starts with New York at the tail-end of 2025, finishing with a 4.79 ERA and 17 strikeouts in 20 2/3 innings, but he can throw heat with a pair of fastballs and earns better reviews for his offspeed mix."

Sproat could be at play to be one of the back-end starters in the rotation. However, the club has other options as well. Logan Henderson could be a back-end starter, and so could Chad Patrick or Robert Gasser. 

Milwaukee has a ton to think about before Opening Day rolls along.
