Nyjer Morgan isn’t hedging on the Brewers.
The former MLB outfielder and longtime Milwaukee fan favorite said he believes the Brewers are headed for their first World Series title, and he made the prediction with plenty of confidence while appearing on ESPN Milwaukee’s "Kyle & Brust."
"I believe that, honestly, we're going to go all the way. Bring up Made.
We're going to be raising up that trophy at the end of the year," the 46-year-old said. "And definitely I will be there, showing up for the (World Series) parade.
Just make sure you have a spot for me."
Morgan also pushed for Milwaukee to promote top prospect Jesus Made before the postseason, doubling down on a team that currently owns baseball’s best record at 79-49 as the 2026 regular season moves into its final month.
That confidence came on the heels of Milwaukee’s 22-0 rout of the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night, a result that only added to the buzz around a club that opens a crucial three-game series against the Atlanta Braves on Friday.
The Brewers are being viewed by many as a legitimate threat to knock off the two-time defending-champion Los Angeles Dodgers, but plenty of people still aren’t sold on Milwaukee as an NL pennant team. Morgan clearly is.
The San Francisco native has never exactly lived a quiet baseball life. He began his career with more than two seasons in Pittsburgh before a June 2009 trade sent him to the Washington Nationals.
In Washington, he made headlines during the 2010 season on a play at the wall against Baltimore Orioles star Adam Jones, when the ball bounced off his glove and he initially thought it had gone over the fence. Morgan slammed his glove to the ground and stopped on the play, and Jones wound up with an inside-the-park home run.
Later that season, Morgan was suspended eight games for his role in a benches-clearing brawl between the Nationals and Florida Marlins.
He arrived in Milwaukee in March 2011 and turned in one of the best seasons of his career. Morgan posted a career-high 3.0 Wins Above Replacement, hit four home runs, doubled 20 times and put together a .304/.357/.421 slash line.
During his two seasons with the Brewers, he embraced the nickname "Tony Plush" and became a favorite around the team.
His signature moment in Milwaukee came in Game 5 of the 2011 NLDS against the Arizona Diamondbacks, when he delivered a series-clinching walk-off single in extra innings.

Brewers Teen Prospect Is Making Double-A Look Very Different
The Brewers Double-A affiliate keeps giving the organization another reason to pay attention to Biloxi, and the latest comes from one of its youngest regulars. After a recent move up from High-A Wisconsin, Pea delivered again with a solo home run and a two-hit night in Biloxis 4-2 win over Rocket City, adding to a stretch that has made the jump look remarkably smooth for a player still getting his footing at the level.
What makes Pea stand out is not just the production, but the context around it. He reached Double-A after earlier health setbacks this season, yet he has continued to hit well in a lineup already loaded with multiple top Brewers prospects, giving Biloxi a different kind of punch near the middle of the order. For Milwaukee, the encouraging part is obvious: a teenager adjusting quickly, holding his own, and looking anything but overmatched against older competition. [Read more 🡒]
Brewers Broadcast Crew Keeps Earning National Respect And Fans Will Debate It
Awful Announcings annual ranking of local MLB TV broadcast teams offered another reminder that the Brewers booth has built a national following beyond Milwaukee. Based on votes from more than 9,300 respondents, the crew finished ninth for the second straight year with a score of 2.60, a spot that keeps it in the upper tier of baseball broadcasts and gives fans plenty to argue about whenever these rankings come out.
The top of the list went to San Diego, whose booth earned a 3.07, but the Brewers placement still speaks to the staying power of a group that has become a regular presence in these conversations. There were also other teams with Wisconsin connections mentioned in the rankings, a small extra note for local fans who like to track how the states baseball voices stack up against the rest of the sport.

These 3 Brewers Relievers Could Decide How Dangerous Milwaukee Looks In October
The Brewers have spent much of the season looking like the most complete team in baseball, and a big reason has been the bullpen. With a division title within reach and October already looming, Aaron Ashby, Abner Uribe and JoJo Romero have become central to how Milwaukee wants to shorten games and protect leads when the margin for error gets smaller.
Uribe is currently on the injured list, though his return is expected soon, which matters for a relief group that has already handled a heavy load. Romero, meanwhile, is working back from an appendectomy and is aiming to pitch again before the postseason, leaving the Brewers with one more late-season health situation worth tracking as they try to carry their regular-season dominance into October.
