Coming into the 2025 season, the consensus around baseball was that the Milwaukee Brewers were due for a quiet reset. Losing cornerstone shortstop Willy Adames and All-Star closer Devin Williams was supposed to signal a step back — maybe even a retooling. But someone clearly forgot to tell the Brewers.
Instead of sputtering, Milwaukee has doubled down on what they do best. Winning with savvy roster-building, airtight development, and a relentless team identity. The Brewers haven’t just stayed afloat — they’ve stayed competitive in a division that was expected to pass them by this season. Powered by breakout performances, surprising stability, and some classic small-market ingenuity, Milwaukee has once again proven they don’t need a big payroll to make big noise.
