The Milwaukee chapter of the BBWAA announced its end-of-season awards, naming Brice Turang as Most Valuable Player and Jacob Misiorowski as Most Valuable Pitcher. Turang earned his second consecutive team MVP award, while Misiorowski was recognized after leading the majors in ERA and strikeouts. Other team awards went to Cooper Pratt as Most Valuable Newcomer, Abner Uribe as Unsung Hero, and Christian Yelich, who received the Good Guy Award.

In front office developments, the Athletics hired Brewers senior vice president of player development Cam Castro as their new general manager. Meanwhile, Brewers assistant general manager Matt Kleine reportedly turned down a general manager opportunity with the Houston Astros, though he may remain a candidate for the open position with the Los Angeles Angels.
