Ex-Brewers Take on Current Sox in Milwaukee

On March 26th, the Chicago White Sox roster is packed with former Milwaukee Brewer's connections

heading into their opening series against Milwaukee.

Shane Smith, a one-time Brewer's minor leager, will start on the mound for the Sox on Thursday, March 26th, at 1.10pm Central Time.

He was the White Sox first overall Rule 5 draft pick and earned an all-star nod last season with a solid 3.81 ERA.

That Brewer's pipeline keeps flowing, even after several X Brewers from last year moved on.

Eric Feday returns to the Sox rotation after a brief stint with Milwaukee last year, where he posted a 3.38 ERA in relief.

Back-up catcher Reese McGuire just signed a one-year deal with Chicago on March 22nd, following short stops with the Brewers, Cubs, and others.

Outfielder Tristan Peters, a seventh-round Brewer's pick in 2021, rounds out the group after stints with San Francisco and Tampa Bay.

Fans are buzzing about these ties, especially with bench coach Walker McKinvin in the second year from the Brewer staff.

It adds a fun layer to the American League's Central rivalry, as these players bring familiarity from shared minor lead time.

Smith even teamed up with Brewer's starter Jacob Missy Arowsky at multiple levels before breaking out.

The three games said highlights more intriguing matchups.

On Saturday, March 28th at 6.10 pm, Sox Ridey Sean Burke faces Brewer's veteran Chad Patrick.

Sunday's 1.10 pm finale pits lefty Anthony Kay against Brandon Sprote, testing Milwaukee against a new Sox arm on a two-year, $5 million.

Deal.

These X Brewers threads make for compelling viewing as both teams kick off the season in Milwaukee, blending old teammates with fresh competition.
