The Milwaukee Brewers saw a significant amount of talent leave their organization during the 2025 minor league Rule 5 Draft. Those departures included Hedbert Pérez, Nate Peterson, Garrett Spain, Zavier Warren, Caden Vire, and Hansel Rincón. Among that group, Pérez and Spain projected as everyday outfielders who could have opened the 2026 season in Triple-A, along with potentially Warren, who has logged considerable time in the outfield over each of the past two seasons.
In the wake of those losses, Matt Arnold moved quickly to restock the system, adding Akil Baddoo and Greg Jones.
