#### 2015

The offseason for the Brewers was relatively quiet, with only a couple of trades made where the Brewers parted with two starting pitchers. [Marco Estrada](/wiki/Marco_Estrada_%28baseball%29 "Marco Estrada (baseball)") was traded to the [Toronto Blue Jays](/wiki/Toronto_Blue_Jays "Toronto Blue Jays") for first baseman [Adam Lind](/wiki/Adam_Lind "Adam Lind"), and [Yovani Gallardo](/wiki/Yovani_Gallardo "Yovani Gallardo"), after 8 seasons with the Brewers and becoming the franchise's all\-time strikeout leader, was traded to the [Texas Rangers](/wiki/Texas_Rangers_%28baseball%29 "Texas Rangers (baseball)"). During the offseason, [Ryan Braun](/wiki/Ryan_Braun "Ryan Braun"), who had his worst season ever during 2014 (.266 avg., 19 HR, and 81 RBI's), had surgery on his right thumb, which had bothered him all during the season and was thought to be the reason behind his dismal numbers. On the field, the Brewers' season went south almost immediately, going 5–17 in the month of April. On May 4, manager Ron Roenicke was fired and Craig Counsell was named interim manager, staying manager for the Brewers through the rest of the season, as the team finished 68–94\.
