Four days after celebrating the franchise’s first World Series title, the Brewers picked up another pair of honors Sunday night. Brice Turang and Jackson Chourio were named 2026 National League Gold Glove Award winners, giving Milwaukee a clean sweep after those two were the club’s only finalists announced on Oct. 14.
Turang’s win at second base adds another line to a trophy case that keeps getting fuller. It’s his second career Gold Glove, and he remains the only Brewer to win the award at second base since the team entered the league in 1969. He also joined a small group of Milwaukee players with multiple Gold Gloves, alongside Cecil Cooper, who won in 1979-80 at first base, and George Scott, who took home five straight from 1972-76, also at first base.
The numbers back up the hardware. Turang, 26, turned in another standout defensive season for Milwaukee, finishing second in the majors and first among infielders with 23 defensive runs saved. His 19 outs above average tied for fourth-most overall and trailed only JJ Wetherholt’s 25 among second basemen.
Chourio earned his first Gold Glove in left field, becoming the fifth Brewers outfielder to win one. He now joins Sal Frelick, Lorenzo Cain, Carlos Gómez and Sixto Lezcano on that list.
The award caps a season in which Chourio, still just 22, showed clear progress with the glove to match his development at the plate. After a 2025 season in which he posted -4 DRS and +3 OAA while spending most of his time in center, he went through a clean 2026 campaign without an error. He led all National League left fielders with 13 defensive runs saved and shared the league lead in fielding run value at +8 with Cody Bellinger.

Brewers Stars Just Gave Fans Another Championship Moment To Love
Less than a week after Milwaukees first World Series championship, Christian Yelich, Brice Turang and manager Pat Murphy found themselves in an entirely different spotlight, one that had nothing to do with a parade route or a clubhouse celebration. The trio made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live, a pop-culture detour that fit the mood of a franchise still riding the high of finally reaching the sports mountaintop.
The moment played as a lighthearted victory lap, with the championship trophy in tow and a comedic setup built around former cast member Bobby Moynihans Drunk Uncle character. For Brewers fans, it was another reminder that this title run has already produced more than the usual postgame memories, and the team is still collecting the kind of scenes that tend to stick long after the champagne dries up.

Angels May Be Eyeing A Risky Rotation Gamble
Milwaukees championship season has already shifted into roster-watch mode, with four Brewers from that title team now on the free-agent market. Brandon Woodruff, Jake Bauers, JoJo Romero and Dustin May are all available, and the clubs focus will soon turn from celebrating a franchise-best 103-win year to figuring out what parts of the core can be kept together for another run.
May is the most interesting name in that group because he arrived late, worked meaningful innings in the stretch run and postseason, and still drew enough attention to land on CBS Sports list of top free agents. Even so, the expectation is that his next stop will be elsewhere, with clubs such as the Angels, Athletics and Nationals mentioned as possible fits while Milwaukee is left to watch how the market develops around a pitcher whose results were uneven but whose pedigree still carries weight.

Brewers Championship Run Just Delivered A Surreal National Spotlight Moment
The Brewers championship celebration took a surreal turn over the weekend when the club found itself in the middle of a national TV moment few teams ever get. Fresh off their first-ever World Series title, Milwaukee landed on Saturday Night Live, a sign of just how far the ripple effects of that run have reached beyond the ballpark and into the broader sports spotlight.
Former cast member Bobby Moynihan brought back his Drunk Uncle character for the episode, with Christian Yelich, Brice Turang and manager Pat Murphy part of the scene. It was the kind of crossover that only happens when a team has become must-see entertainment, and the Brewers even got a chance to meet Tom Hanks during the show, adding another odd little chapter to a season that already feels hard to top.
