The Milwaukee Brewers have made headlines recently with manager Pat Murphy winning the NL Manager of the Year award, a first for the franchise. This achievement comes on the heels of a season that saw the Brewers defy expectations, finishing with a remarkable 93-69 record. However, as we look ahead to the 2025 season, the pressure is mounting for Murphy and the team to not only replicate their success but to also break free from their playoff struggles.

What do you think are the key factors that will determine the Brewers' success in the upcoming season? With Willy Adames likely departing, how should Murphy adjust the lineup to maintain competitiveness? The Brewers have a wealth of young talent, but can they step up to fill the void left by a fan-favorite like Adames?

Moreover, the Brewers have struggled with playoff seeding in recent years. Is it time for them to prioritize securing a top seed in the National League to avoid the wild-card round? What strategies should they employ to ensure they don’t just make the playoffs, but actually advance past the first round?

And let’s not forget about the potential free-agent signings. Should the Brewers make a bold move for established players like Paul Goldschmidt or young talents like Ha-Seong Kim and Gleyber Torres? How crucial do you think these additions would be for the team’s playoff aspirations?

Let’s dive into these questions and more. What are your bold predictions for the Brewers in 2025? Can they finally break the cycle of playoff disappointment? Share your thoughts and let’s get the conversation rolling!
