The Brewers are World Series champs, and Troy and I are still trying to wrap our heads around how good this team was. 103 wins, 11-2 in October, a sweep of the Dodgers, and they did it without leaning on the home run. We get into why it worked: buy-in, no egos, and a club that talks about "offense," not hitting. Walks, bunts, first-to-third, "drag them" two-strike at-bats. Then the big question: what can the Rockies actually copy, and how long would it take? We give some love to the former Rockies in Milwaukee, especially Antonio Senzatela, who went from a rough 2025 to a World Series ring. We finish with offseason housekeeping (options, free agency, the non-tender deadline) and why Colorado has to be aggressive before the Dec. 1 lockout deadline. Plus Fantasy Camp with Larry Walker as commissioner, and Broncos-Chiefs.

Ryan Spilborghs calls in from the World Series in Tampa, and Troy Renck joins from Denver. The Brewers lead the Rays 3-0 and are one win away from the first title in franchise history. Spilly lays out how historic this run is and responds to the "Brewers are cheating" talk. Then a personal story: Jack O'Dowd, son of former Rockies GM Dan O'Dowd, went from independent ball to a real shot with Colorado, and Spilly explains what Dan meant to his own career. Last, the CBA expires Dec. 1, owners are pushing for a salary cap and a lockout is likely, so this World Series could be the last baseball for a while.

Corrections: The Dodgers won 100 games in 2026, not 98. Cooper Pratt's extension is eight years, not six. Tony Clark resigned as MLBPA executive director in February; he was not fired.

Ryan Spilborghs and Troy Renck preview the Brewers vs. Rays World Series: Milwaukee's first since 1982, and two small-market teams built on OBP, speed, contact and elite scouting. What the Rockies should copy, Chourio and Caminero, why this Series isn't "saving baseball," the 2007 Rockies and luck, the lockout and TV-deal time bomb, and our picks.

Corrections: The Brewers ranked 4th in the NL in steals and 2nd in runs. The reported TV-deal trigger is 60 missed games, not 61. The 2007 Rockies' .989 was a team fielding-percentage record. Billy Eppler advised the Brewers in 2025, and Thad Levine joined in 2026.

Brewers vs. Rays: The World Series Blueprint the Rockies Should Copy

Ryan Spilborghs breaks down MLB's proposed salary cap and floor: why owners want it, why players should push back on this version, and the ideas that could actually help competitive balance (a bigger roster, expansion to 32 teams, a performance pool and front-office standards). He also covers Hal Steinbrenner's role, the Padres' record sale, attendance swings, and how the Brewers and Rays win on smaller budgets.

Corrections: MLB says 8 clubs would cut a combined $578M and 12 would add $617M (mlb.com/news/mlb-proposed-salary-cap-floor-system). The Pirates, not the Reds, travel the fewest miles in 2026 (thebiglead.com). 162-game seasons began in 1961 (AL) and 1962 (NL), not 1969 (mlb.com).
