Brewers' offseason to-do list could include a sidearm lefty, and free agent JoJo Romero is floated as the fit. His low slot would contrast with Aaron Ashby's 54-degree arm angle, a look Milwaukee has prioritized since Pat Murphy took over. 🎯
A prediction has Jake Bauers, the NLCS MVP and Brewers home run leader, leaving for Arizona in free agency, with Milwaukee reportedly answering by signing Paul Goldschmidt. It's speculation, and Andrew Vaughn is already in place at first base. 🔮
Trevor Megill, the All-Star closer who finished off the World Series, is reportedly drawing trade interest, with Jeff Passan saying the Brewers will "at least listen." Abner Uribe or Aaron Ashby could take over the ninth if he goes. ⚾
Silver Slugger finalists are out: Jake Bauers (1B and utility), Brice Turang (2B), and Jackson Chourio (LF) are nominated, plus the team award. A league-best .258 average and .341 OBP make the Brewers' case. 🏆
Aaron Ashby's 2026: a 3.12 ERA and 116 K over 89 1/3 regular-season innings, then 18 scoreless postseason innings, a single-season relief record, with 20 K in nine outings as the Brewers won their first World Series. Quietly unfair. 🔒
Brice Turang and Jackson Chourio, already Gold Glovers, are Silver Slugger finalists. Win both and they'd join Cecil Cooper (1980) and Robin Yount (1982) as the only Brewers with both awards in a season. Winners come Nov. 17. 🏆
Jake Bauers is a Silver Slugger finalist at both first base and utility, a rare double shot. Only J.D. Martinez has won two in one season. After a .873 OPS, the NLCS MVP could add more hardware. 🏆
Three Brewers are Silver Slugger finalists, and the club is also nominated for Offensive Team of the Year. Winners will be revealed Nov. 17, with managers and coaches doing the voting. 🏆
Cam Castro, the Brewers' senior VP of player development and performance, is leaving to become the A's general manager, one week after helping Milwaukee win its first World Series title. The front office takes a hit, though the Brewers did get the trophy first. 🏆
Pat Murphy's postseason report card is in, and the Brewers' first World Series title (103 wins, then an 11-2 playoff run) helps his case. He earns an A for batting, with praise for trusting his players in their roles. Hard to grade a champion down. 🏆
Fresh off a World Series title, the Brewers enter the offseason with just a few needs, starting with sorting out first base next to Andrew Vaughn. A key qualifying offer decision hangs over the winter. Champions, but the to-do list isn't empty. 🏆
Brice Turang, 26, is signed through 2029 and finished top three in 2026 NL MVP voting, with no extension yet. Paying him could block top prospects Jesús Made or Luis Peña, testing the Brewers' habit of avoiding big deals. 🤔
World Series title in hand, the Brewers have cash and a thin free-agent class. Extensions for William Contreras and Brice Turang, once unlikely, could now be on the table, especially if a salary floor arrives. 💰
It’s a single-issue negotiation. MLB wants a cap, the players reject a cap. All of the details MLB has shared about its vision -- a number of which are good! -- are tied to the MLBPA accepting a cap system. Publicly, at least, the league has not put forth any vision of a non-capped league. The players, and again I’ll say this is based on what we know, appear to have no intention of accepting a payroll cap. Until one side or the other concedes on this point, there is nowhere for negotiations...
Jake Bauers got the Brewers' $23.15M qualifying offer after a breakout year at 30. The argument: a one-year return is fine, but a multi-year deal isn't, with Fischer, Burke, Adams and Vaughn as first base options. Fluke risk, minimized. 🧾
Sal Frelick vowed to drink "100,000 beers" with parade attendees, and Wisconsin took it literally. He says about 20 people handed him a beer at breakfast the next morning, around 9 AM. Champions' perks: apparently the tab is covered. 🍺
The Athletics are hiring Brewers VP of player development Cam Castro as their new general manager, per Ken Rosenthal. Castro joined Milwaukee in 2019; the World Series title is already making the front office a hot shopping aisle. 🛒
World Series champs still have homework: first base and the rotation top the 2026-27 to-do list. Jake Bauers' qualifying offer decision could settle first, with Andrew Vaughn on hand, while a rotation depth add would help behind Misiorowski, Henderson and Gasser. 🔍
Champagne barely dry, and the Athletics are already poaching. Cam Castro, the Brewers' senior VP of player development and performance, is reportedly leaving to become A's GM under new baseball ops president Taylor Smith, per Ken Rosenthal. 🏆
Brewers BBWAA awards are in: Brice Turang repeats as MVP (100 RBI, a franchise record for a second baseman), Jacob Misiorowski is the unanimous top pitcher (1.80 ERA, 252 K), Cooper Pratt top newcomer, Abner Uribe unsung hero. 🏆
