The Milwaukee Brewers are a few wins away<\/a> from their first World Series title in franchise history. And the scary thing is, Milwaukee is a mostly young team. Winning it all this year could launch Pat Murphy’s ball club into a decade-long stretch of dynastic proportions. <\/p>\n

Are the Los Angeles Dodgers in danger of seeing their own “dynasty” be usurped in historical importance by these Brewers? It’s a question to take seriously, especially if Milwaukee takes care of the Tampa Bay Rays in the coming days.<\/p>\n

The Brewers are built to overtake the Dodgers as the true dynasty of this era<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t see a way how the Brewers don\u2019t win the World Series. Oh yea\u2026 and they arguably have the best farm system in baseball. A dynasty in Milwaukee has started. Wow<\/p>\n

Milwaukee’s roster is built for an extended championship window. Its most generational talents, Jackson Chourio and Jacob Misiorowski, are 22 and 24 years old, respectively. Rising star Cooper Pratt is 22. More established “veteran” stars on the roster, like William Contreras (28) and Brice Turang (26), are by no means old. Even captain Christian Yelich (34), the oldest guy on Milwaukee’s playoff roster, could probably play another three or four years as a designated hitter.<\/p>\n

This is not a veteran-heavy, win-now collection of aging stars. Nor is the Brewers’ success in recent years reliant on any specific player(s). It’s a development- and culture-driven success for Milwaukee that stands in stark contrast (and might undermine) the buy-everyone-you-want<\/a> philosophy of Andrew Friedman’s Dodgers (a philosophy that’s delivered two World Series trophies, we should acknowledge).<\/p>\n

But the Brewers sweeping the mighty Dodgers<\/a> in this year’s NLCS might’ve been a changing of the guard with drastic psychological consequences. It was a “getting over the hump” moment for Milwaukee in which they proved to themselves — and the world — that their gritty, blue-collar identity has perhaps become more powerful than the Dodgers’ once-terrifying presentation as the unstoppable superteam of all superteams.<\/p>\n

Basically, the Brewers showed that the Dodgers bleed like everyone else. Now, their young core is on the precipice, and the game’s No. 1overall prospect, Jesus Made<\/a>, is still waiting in the wings.<\/p>\n

What’s interesting is what comes next. Will the Dodgers use 2026 as a motivating factor to relaunch the latter phase of their not-dead dynasty? Will this all just look like a blip in the road, historically speaking, with the Brewers acting as the momentary aberration from a Dodgers-dominant decade and era? Is this still going to be seen as the era of the all-powerful Dodgers, with the Brewers acting as a small footnote?<\/p>\n

Or are the Brewers about to grab the era by the horns and make their legacy the more memorable and relevant one, pushing the Dodgers to the side as a pseudo-dynasty that never quite fully blossomed, and whose aging superstars expired to make way for the truly transcendent franchise of the times, a Brewers juggernaut that changes the way we think about baseball and team-building<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Those are two wildly different outcomes, and who knows? Perhaps neither will come to pass. But it’s also believable and realistic that either one could take shape over the next few years. <\/p>\n
