Major League Baseball’s awards season keeps handing the Brewers more hardware, and Milwaukee showed up again in Las Vegas.
The latest round of honors brought a fresh batch of recognition for a club that won 103 games and then went on to win the World Series. William Contreras picked up the “Flow Mayor Award” - the award MLB handed out with a diamond-studded toothpick and the one previously known as the “Entertainer of the Year” - for the player who showed the most style and self-expression during the season.
The Brewers also had a strong night in the All-MLB team announcements. Brice Turang was named the First Team All-MLB second baseman, Jackson Chourio earned First Team honors in left field, and Jacob Misiorowski was included among the five starters on the First Team All-MLB rotation. Contreras landed on the Second Team as the All-MLB catcher.
That gives Milwaukee four players across the two All-MLB squads, with Turang, Chourio and Misiorowski all 26 or younger during the 2026 season and under contract for at least the next three seasons. For a team that just finished with a title, it’s another sign that the core is not going anywhere.
The Brewers also had three relievers get votes in the BBWAA’s first version of its own Reliever of the Year Award. Trevor Megill, who had been a finalist going in, finished third in the National League voting.
Aaron Ashby came in ninth, and Abner Uribe finished 12th. Mason Miller of the San Diego Padres won the NL award, while Louie Varland of the Toronto Blue Jays took the American League honor.
That result reflects how much Milwaukee leaned on the back end of its bullpen all season. Ashby, Megill and Uribe led the team in appearances in that order and combined for 199 outings. Even with that workload, the trio stayed sharp in October and played a major role in the Brewers’ championship run.
The one award that slipped away from Milwaukee was Executive of the Year. Matt Arnold, who had won it in both 2024 and 2025, saw his streak end as Erik Neander of the Tampa Bay Rays took the honor. Arnold had been the favorite type of candidate again after helping assemble a roster that won 103 games and a World Series, but the voting went another direction.
Arnold’s recent résumé is still loaded. The source of the Brewers’ rise included his handling of the departures of Corbin Burnes and Devin Williams, the in-season additions of Quinn Priester and Andrew Vaughn, and the Jackson Chourio extension. In 2026, his moves for Kyle Harrison and Shane Drohan helped fuel the regular season, while extensions for Cooper Pratt and Luis Lara already look like smart bets.
Awards season isn’t done yet. Turang remains a finalist for the NL MVP award, which is expected to go to Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Chicago Cubs. Next Tuesday, November 17, the Silver Slugger winners will be announced on FanSided’s “The Baseball Insiders” podcast and YouTube show, with Turang, Chourio and Jake Bauers all finalists.

Trevor Megill Came Closer Than Brewers Fans Realize To New MLB Honor
Trevor Megill was in the mix for a new piece of leaguewide recognition that only just arrived on the awards calendar, as the Baseball Writers Association of America handed out its first Reliever of the Year honors for both leagues. Mason Miller of the Padres took the National League award, while Louis Varland of the Blue Jays won in the American League, with BBWAA members voting on regular-season performance to determine the top relief arms.
For Brewers fans, the notable part is how close Megill was to joining that conversation. The Milwaukee closer finished behind Miller in the NL race, a reminder that his season put him squarely among the leagues elite late-inning options even if the new hardware ended up elsewhere. [Read more 🡒]
Brewers Rotation Success Just Changed A Big Winter Decision
Milwaukees 2026 rotation was supposed to be one of the most inexperienced in baseball, yet it ended up driving a World Series-winning season. A group built around rookies and young arms held up far better than expected, finishing second in the National League with a 3.61 ERA and third in MLB with 907 strikeouts, and most of those pitchers are under contract for the foreseeable future.
That kind of performance changes the way a winter is supposed to look. Instead of treating the rotation as a glaring need, the Brewers can lean into continuity and shop more selectively, with a mid-tier swingman type fitting the profile better than a splashy overhaul. There is still at least one familiar name who could re-enter the conversation, but any reunion would have to make sense for both sides given the uncertainty that comes with his health. [Read more 🡒]
Jacob Misiorowski Had A Grateful Message After His Latest Brewers Milestone
Jacob Misiorowskis rise reached another level after a dominant 2026 season that put him at the center of the Brewers success. The right-hander, who finished with a 1.80 ERA and 252 strikeouts, added a World Series ring and a second All-Star selection to a year that already felt like a breakthrough, and he recently appeared on MLB Network to reflect on how far he has come.
Misiorowski used the moment to thank the people around him, pointing to the support of his family and agent as a big part of the journey. He also shared a few personal highlights from life since the season ended, a reminder that the Brewers newest star is still taking in everything that has happened even as his profile keeps climbing.
