Welcome, officially, to the offseason. The Rays extended the 2026 MLB season one day with a valiant effort in Game 4 of the World Series, but the Brewers would not be denied. They steadily wore down Tampa Bay in Game 5, and Jacob Misiorowski turned in his finest start of this postseason as Milwaukee secured its first title. It’s well-deserved, the Brewers showing themselves to be the class of the league every step of the way throughout the entire year. Congratulations to Milwaukee!

The offseason is upon us, but we’ll continue trucking along as we head into the great unknown that is this looming labor fight. On the site this morning, Madison recaps Game 5 in St. Petersburg, Andrés writes in praise of Ryan Yarbrough’s solid 2026 campaign. and later Peter profiles Jesse Barfield for our Yankees Birthday series.
