The Milwaukee Brewers came into the season as a team that appeared to be in the middle of the pack. They didn’t seem like a lottery team, but they also didn’t seem to be a real threat to the World Series. Milwaukee had lost Willy Adames in free agency while trading Devin Williams to the New York Yankees. These moves signaled to the fan base that the Brewers were seemingly in a retooling year, which could see the Chicago Cubs take the division.
But the Brewers were anything but a middle of the pack team. In fact, they were the best team in baseball during the regular season, as they walked into the postseason with the best record in the sport.
The Brewers would eventually lose to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the postseason, but it was still quite a successful year. The fanbase should certainly be excited for the future.
This offseason is going to be crucial for the Brewers. But before they could make any moves, they lost one of their pitchers to free agency.
