A conversation with minor-league managing legend Rick Sweet (and a couple players, too) (08.13.2026)

About this episode

The Milwaukee Brewers had a terrible three days in San Diego, so let's navigate away from Milwaukee for a moment to visit with the Nashville Sounds, the Class AAA affiliate of the Brewers and the last stop before American Family Field for teems of prospects. Rick Sweet, who's been Triple-A manager for the Brewers for 12 years, just won his 2,500th game and is within striking distance of the all-time record for career minor-league managerial wins. Host JR Radcliffe asked Sweet about his legacy, his process, his background and the strange reality of never getting an MLB managerial interview despite decades of success. Then, JR also chats with players Luke Adams and Brock Wilken, two top-30 prospects both playing corner infield for the Sounds (and now joined by new teammate Blake Burke).
