The Milwaukee Brewers are coming off a magical 2026 season where they won their first ever World Series title.

They beat the Tampa Bay Rays in five games.

ESPN’s Jeff Passan wrote (on October 28): “For the first time, the Milwaukee Brewers are World Series champions. They did it for Milwaukee, they did it for Wisconsin, they did it for Ueck, they did it for themselves. This was 57 years in the making. And it was pure, beautiful, dominant baseball.”

Christian Yelich is arguably the most notable player on the Brewers.

He has been with the franchise for nine years (and will turn 35 in December).

It’s also worth noting that the Brewers will pay him $22 million during the 2027 season (h/t Spotrac).
