Top Brewers prospect Jesús Made appears to be headed to Class AA Biloxi

PITTSBURGH – Jesús Made is on his way to Class AA.

After spending just over a month at advanced Class A Wisconsin, the Milwaukee Brewers’ top minor-league prospect is apparently being promoted to Biloxi as the Shuckers are now a little more than a week away from beginning the Southern League Division Series.

While the team hasn’t made an official announcement, Made reposted a congratulatory message to him on his Instagram account on Sunday night, Sept. 7.

“We are grateful to God for the work established in our lives. Your family is proud of you and what you have achieved. I wish you the best from our hearts. AA is waiting for you,” the translation read.

The 18-year-old infielder didn’t play in Wisconsin’s season finale at South Bend earlier in the day.

In 27 games with the Timber Rattlers, Made batted .343 with two home runs and 12 runs batted in with an OPS of .915 and five stolen bases as the youngest player in the Midwest League. He was promoted along with fellow top infield prospect Luis Peña, and the two made their Wisconsin debuts on Aug. 5.

Made began the season at Class A Carolina, and between the two levels he’s hitting .286/6/58/.800 with 45 stolen bases over 110 games.

Biloxi – which has six regular-season games remaining at Birmingham – now features a prospect-studded position player group that includes shortstop Cooper Pratt, third baseman Brock Wilken, first basemen Luke Adams and Blake Burke and outfielder Luis Lara.

It also wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility the Brewers could also be considering promoting 2025 first-round pick Andrew Fischer from Wisconsin along with Made.

An infielder from the University of Tennessee, Fischer hit .311/1/10/.848 in 19 games with the Timber Rattlers after signing in late July.

Like Made, Fischer also didn’t play in Wisconsin’s season finale on Sunday.

Where does the Milwaukee Bucks roster stand now after signing Thanasis Antetokounmpo?

The Milwaukee Bucks have 20 players under contract, including 16 with guaranteed deals.
Thanasis Antetokounmpo recently signed a one-year guaranteed contract with the Bucks.
The Bucks must reduce their roster to 15 guaranteed contracts and 3 two-way players by October 20.

Training camp for NBA teams can begin Sept. 29 and clubs are allowed to have 21 players on the roster through 4 p.m. CT on Oct. 20. At that point, opening-day rosters must be set at a maximum of 15 guaranteed contracts and 3 two-way players.

The Milwaukee Bucks signed Thanasis Antetokounmpo on Aug. 31 to a guaranteed one-year deal, meaning they now have 16 players with guaranteed money for the 2025-26 season. It also means they have 20 players under contract.

Here is a look at the roster as it currently stands:

Guaranteed contracts

Note: Initially, Jackson Jr.’s entire salary was supposed to be guaranteed by a July deadline. The player and club agreed to push back that full guarantee date until Oct. 20 while still guaranteeing him $800,000.

Two-way contracts

Players signed to two-way contracts can shuffle between their NBA team and affiliated G-League team, in this case, the Wisconsin Herd. These players can play a maximum of 50 NBA games and are ineligible for the postseason. AJ Green and Ryan Rollins are two of the more recent two-way players to advance to guaranteed deals.

Milwaukee mom calls 911 after crash that killed one near 28th and Concordia

Milwaukee mom calls 911 after crash that killed one near 28th and Concordia

MILWAUKEE — A Milwaukee mother who called 911 after a crash near 28th and Concordia says she will never forget what she saw.

According to the Milwaukee Police Department, one person is dead after a vehicle collided with an ATV around midnight Saturday, Aug. 30, in the area of 28th Street and Concordia Avenue.

Police say a 23-year-old was driving west on Concordia when their vehicle struck an ATV carrying two riders.

Both riders of the ATV, whose ages are currently unknown, were transported to a local hospital for treatment, according to officials.

The driver of the ATV later died due to injuries sustained in the crash.

Kendra Dupree, a mother of three, said she was at home when she heard the impact.

“I was up in my room, heard a screeching noise, then a boom,” Dupree said. “It’s gonna be an image in my head forever, especially because I was right there trying to give the police a description of what was going on.”

While the cause of this crash is still under investigation, Dupree said driving near her home is often a concern.

“Right here specifically, people run this stop sign, maybe doing 40–50 at a time,” she said.

“Sometimes, over here, streetlights aren’t on. I don’t even let my kids play up front … they have to play in the backyard because of the odds of someone speeding through.”

Dupree said her message is simple: “People need to slow down.”

Police say the 23-year-old driver was taken into custody, and charges are pending review by the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office. Police did not say what charges are pending.
