The Brewers have made franchise history, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 4–1 to win their first World Series title. We’ll look back at Milwaukee’s championship run, William Contreras’ MVP performance, and the dramatic Game 4 that kept Tampa Bay alive before the Brewers closed out the series in Game 5.

Then it’s all about the A’s offseason. We preview what the team needs after a 64–98 season and look at the changes already underway: new president of baseball operations Taylor Smith, the decisions on Jeff McNeil and Jeffrey Springs’ club options, Luis Severino’s player option, and the roster moves that sent six players to Triple-A.

We’ll also discuss the A’s first trade of the offseason, acquiring outfielder Nate Eaton from Boston for pitching prospect Jareth Rayo, and what the move could mean for the roster. With the A’s preparing for their planned final season at Sutter Health Park before a move to Las Vegas in 2028, we’ll get into the team’s biggest needs—including pitching—and the possibility of a winter lockout as the current MLB labor agreement expires.

The White Sox swept the Astros, winning their first playoff game in five years and advancing to face the Guardians in the ALDS. We cover their 6–3 and 7–3 wins, Hagan Smith’s strong start, Chase Meidroth’s big series, and how Chicago went from less than a 1% chance to make the playoffs to winning a series.

The Yankees swept the Red Sox and will play the Rays in the ALDS. We recap Cam Schlittler’s 10-strikeout outing, Ben Rice’s grand slam, and New York’s 9–0 and 9–2 wins.

The Padres swept the Cubs to advance to the NLDS against the Brewers. Michael King took a no-hitter into the seventh in Game 1, and San Diego finished the series with a 4–1 win. We also get into Ethan Salas becoming the youngest catcher to appear in a postseason game and the Cubs’ quiet offense.
