"The Brewers were the best team in baseball by regular season record last year. They've won three straight division titles and haven't finished a 162-game season with fewer than 86 wins since 2016."
"Even after a winter where the club traded away Freddy Peralta, Isaac Collins, and Caleb Durbin without making any obviously impactful additions to the roster, it's easy to imagine Milwaukee's run of success continuing in 2026."
"Jackson Chourio is certainly capable of a breakout, and Jacob Misiorowski could make Brewers fans forget Peralta in a hurry if the flamethrowing righty takes a step forward."
"Will Milwaukee's dominance continue despite dealing away Peralta and others? Will the Cubs take that extra step even after losing Kyle Tucker?"
The 2026 MLB season has commenced, with teams aiming to win their divisions. Polls indicate the Blue Jays, Tigers, Mariners, and Dodgers as favorites in their respective divisions. The Milwaukee Brewers, with a strong 2025 record of 97-65, are expected to continue their success despite offseason trades. The Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, St. Louis Cardinals, and Pittsburgh Pirates follow in the NL Central standings. Questions remain about the Brewers' ability to maintain dominance after trading key players.
