We’re back with another daily question on this unseasonably warm Sunday!
We asked a few weeks ago which prospect you’re most looking forward to seeing this spring, and on Friday, Dave covered a few dark horse roster candidates, which got me thinking: Which non-roster invite has the best chance of making the Brewers?

There are a whole lot of non-roster options this spring — 18 to be exact — but as Dave said on Friday, there’s always a surprise or two. I won’t cover all 18, and I won’t look at any of the three Dave mentioned, but I will at least bring up a few.
While there are several prospects and players you probably haven’t heard of in that group of 18, one a lot of people will remember is pitcher Peter Strzelecki. Strzelecki, who was added on a minor league deal with a spring invite earlier this week, pitched for the Crew in 2022 and 2023 before being sent to the Diamondbacks at the trade deadline. He made just one appearance with Arizona that year before making 10 appearances with Cleveland in 2024. He spent 2025 at Triple-A Indianapolis and Durham, the affiliates of Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay, respectively, though with little success (9.41 ERA over 22 innings). We’ll see if he can turn it around in his return to the Crew.
Catcher Reese McGuire is another name to watch, though with this week’s addition of Gary Sánchez, his spot on the major league roster has become less clear. New addition Jett Williams is one of those prospects to watch, and he could compete for an infield/outfield depth spot, while outfielder Greg Jones has a slim path to the majors, as Milwaukee has several names ahead of him on the depth chart.
Who do you think has the best shot at making the team out of spring training?
