Brewers laying groundwork for new spring training home

Milwaukee BrewersMore Milwaukee Brewers news: apparently the team is moving once again toward finding a new spring training home in the greater Phoenix area.

Peoria officials confirm they’ve had very preliminary talks with the Brewers about a new complex in that western-Phoenix suburb. Peoria is already home to a two-team complex shared by the Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres. We have all the details on our sister site, Spring Training Online, but here’s the takeaway: while Milwaukee may be casting around, it will be a huge challenge to finance any few facility: the state program used to fund other spring complexes is running out of money, and any finances will need to come from a city, not from the state.
