Despite the poor outing in the National League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, there was a lot to like about the 2025 season for the Milwaukee Brewers. Milwaukee finished the regular season with the best record in baseball, and they saw a lot of growth from all around the roster.
As this team gears up for the offseason, they have a plethora of pitching help, and the roster is fairly set. But the roster can always use an upgrade, and one area could be at the shortstop position,
Milwaukee isn’t the type of team that will likely break the bank for a free agent, or even to make a massive trade to absorb a star with a big contract. However, this team is very good at making smaller moves and maximizing everything out of them.
The Brewers’ front office has been one of the better ones across baseball for some time now, and this team is always somewhat competitive. But this offseason could be crucial as the team looks to capture a World Series title next season.
Milwaukee has the infrastructure to get it done, and they proved it this past season. But in order to get over the hump in the National League, the Nrewers will need to add more talent across the board, even if it’s smaller moves on the edges of the roster.
The Brewers can’t take this core group for granted, and the front office must act this winter to maximize the winning window. But how they choose to do this is a mystery, especially considering how the team operates from year to year.
This is just a prediction, NOT a report!

Ha-Seong Kim Signs on With Milwaukee Brewers
With the Brewers likely looking for smaller upgrades for the roster, veteran infielder Ha-Seong Kim could be a very solid option. Kim split time between the Tampa Bay Rays and Atlanta Braves this past season.
His time with the Rays wasn’t great, but he was also coming back from injury. Once he got to the Vraves, Kim looked like his old self over a 19-game sample size.
In Atlanta, Kim slashed .309/.372/.456 with three home runs, a double, showing that he could still be productive. Overall for the season, Kim hit a combined .234/.304/.345 in 191 plate appearances.
Kim was seen as one of the better utility players in the league just a couple of seasons ago, and he could fill a role with the Brewers. If he is healthy, Kim could be a massive steal for a team like Milwaukee, and he could give them a needed upgrade in the infield.
There is interest from the Braves to keep Kim around for next season, but the Brewers could be a more interesting landing spot. Milwaukee made the postseason last year and could have won the World Series, while Atlanta missed the playoffs entirely.
If Kim wants to play for a contender, Milwaukee could be one of the better places for him. This could be a solid pairing, and the Brewers front office may want to look into bringing him into the mix for next year.
