The Milwaukee Brewers treated their fans to perhaps the most memorable season in a generation in 2018. After narrowly missing out on a playoff berth in 2017, GM David Stearns and company made some aggressive additions during the offseason, adding star-caliber players Lorenzo Cain and Christian Yelich to the mix as well as making wise bets on Jhoulys Chacin and Wade Miley to supplement the talented core of players that were already in place. The result was a team-record five players named to the All-Star game, tying the franchise-best mark for victories in season with 96 (albeit in 163 tries), a sudden-death triumph against the Cubs at Wrigley Field to claim the second club’s second-ever NL Central title and the top record in the National League, a sweep of the Rockies in the NLDS and a thrilling seven-game NLCS with the Dodgers that ultimately ended in heartbreak.
