The Brewers and the Rays. The best teams in the National League and the American League all season, respectively. A rare meeting between the No. 1 seeds from each league in the World Series. And one of them will take home the first Commissioner’s Trophy in their franchise’s history. Both

It’s here. You’ve made it. The World Series begins Friday night. It is as compelling a matchup as you could want, featuring the teams with the best records in each league battling it out. And, of course, when this series is over, one team is going to have something it

MILWAUKEE – The history guaranteed to be made in this unusual World Series starts here. It starts with the host Milwaukee Brewers giving the ball to their fireballing ace, Jacob Misiorowski, a 24-year-old getting a start that, for the Cream City, is 44 years in the making. It starts with

MILWAUKEE -- Ted Perry started crying. So did the cameraman behind him. And nearly a week later, when Jacob Misiorowski was asked about the moment they captured, the Brewers' ace struggled to find the words. It was supposed to be a “routine” postgame interview. Instead, it became something none of

MILWAUKEE -- The Rays had a couple different options to consider as they lined up their rotation for the World Series. They’re not quite as well-rested as the Brewers, but finishing the American League Championship Series in six games gave them some flexibility. They decided to take advantage of it,

Welcome to a most fantastically interesting World Series, in which focusing on the size of the markets involved completely misses the forest for the trees. It’s a No. 1-vs.-No. 1 matchup, just the sixth time in the past 30 years that’s happened. It’s a pair of fanbases who have never

MILWAUKEE – Look up during the World Series and you’ll see the roofs at American Family Field and Tropicana Field. There’s a chance this could be the first World Series played entirely indoors. And there’s a chance that a ball striking one of those roofs -- or the supporting structures,

MILWAUKEE -- Give Jacob Misiorowski a baseball, and he can make a ballpark gasp. Give him a pack of Pokémon cards, and, well, he might just gasp at its contents. The Brewers’ 24-year-old ace gets the ball Friday against the Rays in Game 1 of the World Series. You know

The 2026 World Series, which begins Friday night in Milwaukee, doesn’t figure to be a 2024-style slugfest. That confrontation between the Dodgers and Yankees was stacked with literal behemoths and featured two of the top three homer-hitting teams from that season. Sure enough, they combined to wallop 16 big flies

MILWAUKEE -- The trade was completed with executives from one team boarding a Southwest Airlines flight and the top executive from another in a hospital bed. So maybe we should have known it would produce an unusual result.

The Brewers are a sometimes confounding offense to describe, getting stuck with the “small ball” label because they are more than willing to go to the opposite field, run and bunt well and don’t hit very many homers. But, when they crushed the two-time defending champion Dodgers in the NLCS,

MILWAUKEE -- Long before Chandler Simpson was realizing his dream of swiping big league bases, he’d already learned how to steal a show.

The Brewers and Rays are coming out guns a-blazing for the World Series. It's fire vs. fire in Game 1 -- the fastest bat in the Majors against the fastest arm. We're talking about Jacob Misiorowski vs. Junior Caminero. The Brewers' overpowering ace vs. the Rays' superstar slugger.

MILWAUKEE -- Is the Brewers’ longest-tenured player in or out for the World Series? Not even Brandon Woodruff knew the answer as the team prepared to work out on the eve of Friday’s Game 1. Neither did president of baseball operations Matt Arnold.

MILWAUKEE -- For a time, as the first wave of analytical thinking swept through baseball, there were just certain things that “smart,” forward-thinking managers didn’t do. They didn’t lock players into certain parts of the lineup. They didn’t have a designated closer. They didn’t give away outs by trying to

MILWAUKEE – The Brewers have waited 44 years to bring a World Series home. Apparently, that has built up quite an appetite. Sure, you’ll still find peanuts and Cracker Jack when the Fall Classic opens Friday evening at American Family Field. But perhaps the occasion calls for something more decadent

MILWAUKEE – If you have the constitution for it, running a team in one of baseball’s smaller markets can be a really good time. Sometimes there’s a Nintendo.

The best team from each league, according to regular-season records, are in the World Series. But if you’re picking which will win based how many former Top 100 prospects are on each roster, it’s not even going to be close. Using each team’s League Championship Series rosters as a guide,

The Brewers and Rays will face off in the 2026 World Series, which begins on Friday in Milwaukee, and there’s no shortage of connections between the two clubs. Look no further than the Championship Series MVPs for each team. Jake Bauers took home those honors for the Brewers in the

CLEVELAND -- Stephen Vogt acknowledged the difficulty of being away from his family, which is based in Olympia, Wash., for extended stretches over the course of the baseball season. But he also made one thing clear on Thursday. He can’t wait to run it back with the Guardians next season.

MILWAUKEE -- After the Rays arrived at The Pfister Hotel on Wednesday, a large group of players got together and headed out to Carnevor, billed as “Milwaukee’s Premier Steakhouse.” It was a familiar scene for the Rays. They began this team dinner tradition before Opening Day, and it’s carried all

We have asked how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. We have asked how many Jose Altuves tall Aaron Judge is. Now, we ask how many Chandler Simpson bunt singles you can fit into a Junior Caminero home run trot. In the Rays’

The winners of the 2026 Fielding Bible Awards, honoring the best defender in Major League Baseball at every position, were announced on Thursday. The Fielding Bible Awards pick one player at each of the nine positions as the top fielder in MLB at that position, as well as one "multi-position"
