MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers’ regular season dominance showed up again on Wednesday night, only this time the hardware came from MLB Awards presented by MGM Rewards.
Milwaukee landed a league-high four players on the All-MLB Team, with Jacob Misiorowski, Brice Turang and Jackson Chourio making the First Team and William Contreras earning Second Team recognition. No other club had more. The Rays, who will face the Brewers in the World Series, were next with three honorees.
The All-MLB honors, created in 2019, are based strictly on regular-season performance. Postseason results do not factor in. Fans helped choose the First and Second Teams at MLB.com, voting among nominees at each position, including three outfield spots, a designated hitter, five starting pitchers and two relievers.
Misiorowski’s selection came on the same night he captured the NL Cy Young Award in unanimous fashion, adding another major line to a season that already looked historic. The 6-foot-7, 24-year-old finished as the MLB leader in ERA at 1.80, strikeouts with 252, WHIP at 0.80 and opponents’ average at .157 across 174 2/3 innings.
He also joined Justin Verlander (2019) and Pedro Martínez (2000) as the only pitchers in history with 250-plus strikeouts and a WHIP as low as 0.80. His opponents’ average topped Martínez’s .167 in 2000 as the lowest on record for a full season.
The other starting pitchers on the All-MLB First Team were the Yankees’ Cam Schlittler, Braves’ Chris Sale, Blue Jays’ Dylan Cease and Phillies’ Cristopher Sánchez.
Chourio earned his spot in the outfield alongside the Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Padres’ Fernando Tatis Jr. after putting together another 20-homer, 20-steal season. He became the first player with three 20-20 seasons before turning 23, and his numbers kept climbing across the board. Chourio set career highs in all three slash line categories, plus home runs with 25, stolen bases with 23, adjusted OPS at 129 and weighted runs created plus at 130.
Turang turned in a breakout year of his own. He topped 20 home runs for the first time and led the Brewers with 100 RBIs. He also picked up his second career Gold Glove Award and became Milwaukee’s first middle infielder to finish in the top three of his league’s MVP voting since Robin Yount won the award as the Brewers’ shortstop in 1982.
Contreras was honored at catcher after posting a .270/.341/.417 line with 18 homers and 94 RBIs. He also became the first catcher in Brewers history to log 1,000 innings behind the plate in three straight seasons, a run that began in 2024 when he was an All-MLB First Team selection.
This is the first time the Brewers have placed more than two players on All-MLB teams, and the first time since 2021, when Corbin Burnes and Josh Hader were honored, that they had multiple First Team selections.

Brewers Just Drew A Telling Line Around Two Key Players
The Brewers are drawing a clear distinction between two important pieces of their roster planning. William Contreras is expected to stay put, and Milwaukee has signaled it wants to work toward a contract extension with the catcher, a notable show of commitment for one of the teams most valuable everyday players. With his club option already exercised for 2027, the organization appears intent on keeping that part of the core intact rather than letting the situation drift.
Trevor Megill, meanwhile, is in a very different lane. Milwaukee is open to trade offers for the closer, even though his contract timeline is similar in the broad sense, with free agency looming after next season. The contrast says plenty about how the Brewers are weighing value, age, role and long-term control as they sort through the next phase of roster management, and it leaves one of their more important bullpen decisions hanging in the balance.

Brice Turang Just Earned Recognition Brewers Fans Will Love
Brice Turangs breakout season kept getting better this week, when the Baseball Writers Association of America announced he finished third in National League MVP voting. The Brewers second baseman collected 190 points after setting career highs in several statistical categories during the 2026 season, a strong sign of how far his game has come and how much his all-around play mattered in Milwaukees lineup.
Pat Murphy has already made it clear how valuable Turang was to the club, pointing to the steadiness and impact he brought every day. For a Brewers team that leans so heavily on consistency and defense up the middle, Turangs rise into the MVP conversation is the kind of recognition that resonates well beyond an individual award ballot.

Brewers Face A Tough Aaron Ashby Choice After Their Title Run
Aaron Ashbys postseason role gave the Brewers a real boost during their championship run, and it may have changed the conversation around his future. The left-hander was one of Milwaukees most reliable bullpen arms in October, working nine scoreless appearances as the club powered past the Tampa Bay Rays to win its first World Series title.
Now the question is whether the Brewers keep him in that relief lane or give him a chance to start next season. Former MLB GM Jim Bowden and Brewers GM Matt Arnold have both hinted at the possibility of a move into the rotation, but no decision has been made yet, leaving Milwaukee with one of its more interesting offseason calls.
