Milwaukee Brewers celebrate World Series win and manage roster changes

Following their 2026 World Series championship victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, the Milwaukee Brewers are managing significant roster transitions and individual accolades.

On the field, Brice Turang was named the team’s Most Valuable Player for the second consecutive season, setting a franchise record with 100 RBIs. Pitcher Jacob Misiorowski was named Most Valuable Pitcher and is a finalist for the National League Cy Young Award after leading the majors in ERA, WHIP, and strikeouts. Other team awards included Top Newcomer for Cooper Pratt and Unsung Hero for Abner Uribe.

Off the field, the Brewers have made several contract decisions. The team tendered a $23 million qualifying offer to first baseman/outfielder Jake Bauers, though analysts suggest he may decline to seek a multi-year deal on the open market. Additionally, the club declined a $14 million option for pitcher Antonio Senzatela and a mutual option for catcher Gary Sanchez.

In NBA news, the Milwaukee Bucks exercised team options on Kel’el Ware and Kasparas Jakucionis, securing them through the 2027-28 season.
