David Stearns has stepped down as president of baseball operations and will be replaced by Matt Arnold, who has worked alongside Stearns since he joined the Brewers as the team’s general manager in 2015.
Stearns has a year left on his contract so he will stay in an advisory role to ownership and baseball operations, but Arnold will take over as the team’s top executive.
Prior to this season, the Brewers made four consecutive postseason appearances from 2018 to 2021, including an NLCS appearance in 2018. Each appearance ended with the team the Brewers fell to in the postseason making it to the World Series – the Dodgers in 2018, the Nationals in 2019, the Dodgers in 2020, and the Braves in 2021.
