Brewers Promote Matt Arnold After NLCS Loss

The Milwaukee Brewers promoted general manager Matt Arnold to president of baseball operations while he retains his GM duties, coming after the team was swept by the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS. Arnold joined the Brewers in 2015 and has effectively run baseball operations since David Stearns moved into an advisory role and later left the club for the Mets. Under his tenure the Brewers have reached the postseason seven times in eight seasons, won five NL Central titles and posted a franchise-record 97 wins in 2025. He was voted 2024 MLB Executive of the Year; owner Mark Attanasio praised Arnold and Arnold said he is “humbled and honored” to continue building the organization. Arnold acknowledged offseason questions about right-hander Freddy Peralta — who is one year from free agency after a 17–6, 2.70 ERA, 204‑strikeout, 5.5 WAR All‑Star season — and said Peralta’s status isn’t “at the front of my mind,” even as the club faces rotation uncertainty with Jose Quintana and Brandon Woodruff nearing free agency.
