The Milwaukee Brewers' front office has built a reputation of being one of the sharpest in baseball. While the foundation was certainly laid during the David Stearns era, many of the moves that have led to this distinction have come under the supervision of Milwaukee's current President of Baseball Operations, Matt Arnold. His string of successful transactions has not only led to the Golden Age of Brewers baseball, which includes seven postseason appearances in eight seasons dating back to Stearns' tenure, but it's also caught the attention of executives around the league.
Arnold, who took over as the head of Milwaukee's front office back in October of 2022, when Stearns stepped down in anticipation of his acceptance of the New York Mets' President of Baseball Operations position, has been on the winning side of trades like the William Contreras blockbuster, which went down less than two months after he assumed his new position, and the Andrew Vaughn-Aaron Civale swap which was a large reason for the Brewers' success in 2025.
