Milwaukee Brewers 2025 Season Highlights

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin — The Milwaukee Brewers are one of the top teams in baseball this year, but their championship window may be closing. With ace pitcher Brandon Woodruff facing free agency after this season, and fellow starter Freddy Peralta potentially headed for a trade, the future of the team hangs in the balance.

Woodruff, who has a 2.81 ERA since 2020, is projected to attract strong interest from teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers, as reported by Bleacher Report’s Kerry Miller. Woodruff’s performance when healthy is undeniable, but injury concerns arise as he enters October on the injured list again. “He’s great when healthy, but how often will he be?” Miller wrote.

The Dodgers, facing several pitching injuries, might see Woodruff as a solid addition. If the projection of a contract worth around $20 million per year is accurate, the Brewers will need to make a significant effort to retain him.

As the Brewers gear up for the postseason, they have also made bold adjustments, including moving rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski to the bullpen. Misiorowski made a strong postseason debut against the Chicago Cubs on October 6, showcasing his power with several fastballs clocked at over 100 miles per hour and striking out four batters in three shutout innings.

<p"People don’t move like that dude. He’s like an alien," said one teammate about Misiorowski, reflecting the excitement surrounding his potential impact in the playoffs. Misiorowski's performance could prove crucial for the Brewers' World Series ambitions.

Meanwhile, 21-year-old outfielder Jackson Chourio has emerged as one of baseball’s brightest young stars. He continued to impress in Game 2 of the NLDS against the Cubs, hitting a crucial home run that extended the Brewers’ series lead. Chourio is currently 5-for-7 in the postseason, underscoring his importance to the team’s success.

“He’s a superstar,” another teammate noted, comparing Chourio’s talent to that of established players like Ronald Acuña Jr. His skill set involving speed, power, and defensive capability makes him an essential piece of the Brewers’ lineup as they aim for a championship.

With key players facing uncertainty and the postseason underway, the Brewers have the talent and momentum to make a serious run for the World Series title.
