MLB Analyst Defends Pete Crow-Armstrong MVP Omission as Brewers Sign Bryse Wilson

MLB Network analyst Greg Amsinger defended his decision to leave Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow‑Armstrong off his top‑10 most valuable player list, noting the player’s early‑season slump and later surge after moving to the lead‑off spot. Amsinger argued that a half‑season MVP ranking should reflect performance over the entire season, stating, “PCA, you’re my favorite player… but you were one of the worst players on your team for 58 games.”

In a separate move, the Milwaukee Brewers signed right‑hander Bryse Wilson, who last pitched for the Cubs before becoming a free agent. Wilson, a former Brewer who posted a 3.42 ERA in 2023, is expected to add depth to Milwaukee’s bullpen, addressing recent concerns after injuries to other pitchers.
