On Tuesday, the Milwaukee Brewers have the day off.
They currently own a 2-0 series lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS.
Most recently, the Brewers won by a score of 7-4 on Monday night in Wisconsin.
ESPN’s Jeff Passan wrote: “FINAL: Brewers 7, Dodgers 4 Milwaukee takes a 2-0 lead in the NLCS. The Brewers are everything we thought they were. It’s a menacing, delightful brand of baseball. The Dodgers are in rough shape. They haven’t hit. Didn’t win a Yamamoto start. Much to fix, little time to fix it.”

Ex-Brewers 1st-Round Pick Will Become A Free Agent
With the Brewers in the middle of a deep run, it’s worth noting that one of their former players (Trent Grisham) is set to become a free agent this winter.
He has been with the New York Yankees for the last three years.
That said, Grisham (who made $22 million this year) had a very disappointing year.
There is a wide expectation that he will not be back in the Bronx.
Looking At Grisham’s Milwaukee Stint
Grisham was picked in the 1st round of the 2015 MLB Draft by the Brewers (out of high school).
He spent his rookie season in Milwaukee.
That year (2019), Grisham batted .231 with six home runs and 24 RBIs in 51 games.
The Brewers then traded him to the San Diego Padres.
MLB.com wrote (on November 27, 2019): “San Diego Padres traded Player To Be Named Later, LHP Eric Lauer and 2B Luis Urias to Milwaukee Brewers for RF Trent Grisham and RHP Zach Davies.”
Looking At Grisham’s Entire Career
Grisham has also spent time with the San Diego Padres over eight total seasons in the MLB.
In 2024, he helped the Yankees reach the World Series.
The 29-year-old will be an intriguing free agent.
