Is this Brewers Team the best team in baseball in recent memories?

Really hard to say, but this Brewers team might be the best team in baseball in recent memories.
They are fundamentally strong, kept the ball in plays, score runs, pitched well, have solid bullpens, developed players, spend money correctly, well coached, clutch, calm, learned from mistakes, very fun to watch, and more importantly, they win games. Dominantly.
They did everythings the right way and now they are 1 game away from sweeping both Championship and World Series, which is somethin that never been done in 50 years. Crazy feat.
They even traded their ace last free agency and it doesnt seem to be matter at all. Their new ace gonna win this season unnanimously, and I believe they are so far away from done.

People forget they also have the #1 prospect in baseball who hasn’t even been on the roster yet.

What if I also told you that their ACE last (13-3 record, 3.32 era) Quinn Priester did not play a single game this year and will be back next year?

And Woodruff basically had his career end yet got to pitch the last inning of a World Series game. Tears me up man!

Again, nothing is guaranteed. Look at my quad god, Spencer Strider. I know the injury was obviously different and they aren’t mechanically similar, but you never know how they’ll come back

Number 1 ranked farm system currently as well
7. u/extendedsolo · 2026-10-27 12:02 UTC
Their farm is stacked but the future is never guaranteed

I was going to get snarky about your comment above, but you have a valid point.

Pat Riley called it the disease of more. The team may be better but the mindset may get a little lacking, players may feel more entitled etc. Team chemistry WILL change once they are the champions and defending their title so can Murphy manage that? I think a large part of their success has been that they don't have a guy that is bigger than the team at this point. Contreras will be looking to get paid after next year too

It’s true, but it’s funny everyone praying for their downfall acting like this team is fake. No, they’ve been here and will continue this under pat murphey

Well fuck

I don’t agree with Yankees fans often, but this is it!

And he's just the headliner for what is an absolutely stacked farm.

Also, according to the pitching lab, Miz has only “scratched the surface” of what they think he is capable of.
15. u/WiscoJohn80 · 2026-10-27 12:21 UTC
I mean, they had the most wins in baseball this year too, so it's not like they just got hot now.

They remind me of a slightly more star-studded version of the 2015 Royals, to be honest. Lotta contact hitting and stealing bases, no weak spots in the lineup, great defense, outstanding bullpen, impossible to put away.
Difference is that we never had a Miz.

I don’t mean to sound disrespectful, but why couldn’t KC maintain that level of success after back to back pennants? I didn’t watch baseball back then, so I’m curious.
18. u/TUN_Binary · 2026-10-27 05:17 UTC
A lot of reasons, but frankly our success in general was sort of a fluke lol.
That was a great team, but we had zero hall of famers. We basically got around 15 guys to peak at the exact same time, which is extremely hard to do. There are so many guys on that team who had career years in 2014 and/or 2015 and then fell off afterwards.
After that, our front office was just not very good. They let a bunch of guys leave for free instead of trading them for assets, and they did a really poor job drafting and developing.

You basically described last year's Jays, 15 guys to peak at the same time, even Max Scherzer turning back the clock. I thought the 2015 Jays were going to manhandle the Royals, not the other way around!
20. u/TUN_Binary · 2026-10-27 06:02 UTC
Yeah the other bit of luck we got was that there weren’t any dynasties at the time. We hit our stride right as there was a power vacuum in the MLB.
