Following their defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS, the Milwaukee Brewers are gearing up for an eventful offseason in an effort to improve on their 2025 finish.
Some of that work will include fundamental changes to the roster, like a trade of a certain ace pitcher. Other components involve internal reshuffling, like a promotion for now-President of Baseball Operations Matt Arnold.
However, there is another aspect to an offseason that is a little less exciting: maintenance. Players tend to get beat up over the course of a 162-game season (or, in the Brewers' case this year, 171 games), and they need time over the winter to recuperate and fix any ailments and injuries their bodies accrued over the summer.
