It had earlier been reported that the Brewers were planning to keep Peralta after picking up his $8 million option for 2026. As Rosenthal notes, the Brewers are not dead set on trading Peralta, but if they get a strong enough offer, “they believe the veteran presence of Woodruff and their numerous other rotation options still could leave them in position to contend in the NL Central.” Peralta, who is 29 years old, would bring back a considerable return based on his low salary. If he were to be traded, the Brewers’ rotation would be led by Brandon Woodruff, Jacob Misiorowski, and Quinn Priester, with two of Robert Gasser, Chad Patrick, Logan Henderson, and Tobias Myers rounding it out. Perhaps the Brewers would bring back another starter in a trade, like trading Peralta to the Red Sox for Brayan Bello and others.

Bukauskas returns to Milwaukee’s bullpen mix after missing the entire 2025 season while recovering from lat surgery. The 29-year-old right-hander owns a serviceable 5.04 ERA across 30 1/3 innings over 33 major-league appearances since 2021. He should be fully healthy entering spring training and will compete for a spot in the Brewers’ season-opening relief corps.

Bauers was a candidate to be non-tendered after slashing just .235/.353/.399 with seven homers and 28 RBI in 218 plate appearances during the 2025 season, but the Brewers will bring him back for another year. No word yet on the financial details, but he should get a raise over the $1.35 million that he took home in 2025.

Bauers was a candidate to be non-tendered after slashing just .235/.353/.399 with seven homers and 28 RBI in 218 plate appearances during the 2025 season, but the Brewers will bring him back for another year. He’ll get a nice raise over the $1.35 million that he took home in 2025. Look for Bauers to once again function in a reserve role for the Brewers where he’ll be deployed almost exclusively against right-handed pitching.

A healthy Woodruff seems like a bargain at this rate, especially if his velocity improves some in his second year back from shoulder surgery. Regardless, just the one-year obligation makes this a clear winner. The Brewers are currently looking at a rotation of Freddy Peralta, Woodruff, Quinn Priester and Jacob Misiorowski, with Chad Patrick, Logan Henderson, Robert Gasser, Tobias Myers and maybe Andy Ashby in the mix for the fifth spot.

Garcia was once among the top prospects in the Milwaukee system, but has struggled over the past few seasons. He likely will be a depth piece at the higher levels in 2026.

Murphy received 27 of 30 first-place votes, with Terry Francona and Rob Thomson collecting the remaining three to finish second and third, respectively. The Brewers’ skipper earns the honor for the second straight year after guiding Milwaukee to an impressive 97-win campaign. He’s gone 190-134 (.586) during his two seasons at the helm. He’s just the third manager to take home the honor in back-to-back seasons since 1983, joining Bobby Cox and Kevin Cash.

There have been plenty of trade rumors swirling around Peralta, but the 29-year-old is signed for just $8 million next year, which is a major bargain. There is a chance the Brewers could look to trade him in the middle of the season if they are unable to contend, but, for now, it appears unlikely that Peralta will be on the move.

Contreras won’t be heading to free agency since he remains arbitration-eligible for two additional seasons before reaching the open market in 2028. The 27-year-old backstop played through a fractured left middle finger for most of this past season, which clearly impacted his production at the dish, as he finished with an underwhelming .260/.355/.399 slash line with 17 homers and six steals in 150 games. He recently underwent surgery to address the finger on his glove hand and should be cleared to resume baseball activities at some point in December. He’ll be a top five catcher off the board in all fantasy drafts next spring.

The Brewers also declined their half of Danny Jansen’s mutual option for 2026 making him a free agent. No surprises here. Peralta has been the subject of trade rumors since Milwaukee was bounced from the playoffs in the NLCS by the eventual World Series champion Dodgers. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see Woodruff return on a new deal, but he should have plenty of interest on the open market.

Adamczewski is still developing from an over-the-fence pop standpoint but he’s gone deep four times in just 11 games this fall. He’s looked like a massive late-round steal for Milwaukee over the past two years after being taken in the 15th round of the 2023 MLB Draft. The 20-year-old struggled in a late-season cameo at High-A Wisconsin after slashing .359/.459/.569 with five homers and four steals in 46 games for Low-A Carolina. He projects as a versatile utility player at the highest level.

Frelick missed some time in early August due to soreness in his knee and it’s an issue that bothered him on-and-off throughout the remainder of the season. Fortunately, recent imaging came back unremarkable. The 25-year-old outfielder is expected to have a normal offseason without any restrictions.

Contreras fractured the finger in May and then played through it the rest of the way. A picture the catcher posted in September revealed that the finger still looked anything but normal, so surgery to allow him to play at 100 percent next year might be an option.

Arnold keeping the GM title suggests the Brewers won’t be bringing in a new No. 2. Arnold took over as the Brewers’ GM five years ago and moved into the lead role after POBO David Stearns stepped down three years ago. Giving him the POBO title makes it easier for the Brewers to say no to an interview if another team comes sniffing around, and he pretty obviously deserves it anyway.

Good news for a 2026 sleeper. The Brewers stand to lose Brandon Woodruff and Jose Quintana in free agency and could shop Freddy Peralta, so they’re rotation might look quite different next year. Henderson won’t necessarily have a spot initially, but he’ll be pretty interesting when his opportunity comes.

Durbin is expected to be ready for spring training. The 25-year-old showed a steady bat and improved his defense as 2025 went along, so there’s little doubt that he’ll stick as the Brewers’ third baseman to begin 2026.

The 20-year-old Adamczewski is just 6-for-33 for the Saguaros, but five of those hits have gone for extra bases and he’s walked seven times. A 15th-round pick in 2023, Adamczewski was limited to 71 games this year, with the bulk of them coming in Low-A ball, but he hit .320/.420/.490. Unfortunately, it looks like he’s not going to make it as a second baseman, and he’s been playing left field in the AFL. Still, the bat is pretty interesting.

Peralta, 27, has a 5.12 ERA and a 37/24 K/BB in 45 2/3 innings of relief work for the White Sox and Angels the last three seasons. That he throws just above sidearm makes him pretty tough on lefties, but his lack of velocity is a problem against righties. If he sticks on the 40-man, he’ll compete for a bullpen spot in spring training.

Miller was hoping to avoid surgery, but it wasn’t meant to be. This will most likely cost the 35-year-old all of 2026. Miller, who had a 2.74 ERA in 46 innings for the Diamondbacks and Brewers this year, will become a free agent after the World Series.

Peralta’s $8 million club option for 2026 will undoubtedly be exercised, but he’s set to hit free agency next offseason and stands as one of Milwaukee’s most valuable trade chips. The Brewers boast considerable rotation depth heading into next year following the emergence of top prospect Jacob Misiorowski and rookies Quinn Priester and Chad Patrick. The 29-year-old ace has topped 30 starts in three straight seasons since 2023 and would represent a major rotation upgrade for any contender.

Chourio picked up a pair of the Brewers’ five hits on the game a day after leaving with cramps in his hamstring. The 21-year-old was excellent for the Brew Crew in the postseason, but the season is over for the ever-so-talented outfielder and the 97-win Milwaukee club. Chourio has fantasy superstar potential, and should be an early-round target in all eligible formats in 2026.

Things started rough for Quintana, as he gave up a 446-foot homer to Shohei Ohtani to begin his outing. He would allow two more runs in the inning, and while he settled down in the second — and final — frame, the damage was done. Quintana was signed to a one-year deal before the season, and likely will be looking at an incentive-laden contract in 2026 with either the Brewers or a new club.

Chourio was removed from Thursday’s lineup with cramping, but the 21-year-old is good to go for the must-win game against Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers. The full lineup for Milwaukee: Bryce Turang 2B, Chourio LF, Christian Yelich DH, William Contreras C, Jake Bauers 1B, Sal Frelick RF, Caleb Durbin 3B, Blake Perkins CF and Joey Ortiz SS.

With their backs up against the wall and looking to stave off elimination, it’ll be the 36-year-old southpaw getting the ball for the Brewers. Quintana pitched three scoreless innings out of the bullpen in the NLDS against the Cubs, but hasn’t appeared in a game since October 8. It’ll certainly be an all-hands-on-deck situation for the Brewers in this one, so expect Quintana to be given a quick hook if there are any signs of trouble.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy told reporters afterwards that Chourio was having continual cramps after fouling off a two-strike offering from Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen in the seventh inning, which led to his exit from the contest. Murphy added that the 21-year-old superstar will continue receiving treatment and there’s optimism he’ll be ready for Friday’s win-or-go-home Game 4 showdown in Los Angeles.

Durbin was one of the few bright spots for Milwaukee in this one as they were shut down by a Dodgers starter for the third consecutive contest to open the best-of-seven series. The 25-year-old infielder smacked a one-out triple against Tyler Glasnow and scored Milwaukee’s lone run in the second inning. He’s batting .280 (7-for-25) with two RBI and two steals in eight games this postseason.
