Baseball is done for 2026. Will it return next March?

The 2026 Major League Baseball (MLB) season ended in a manner that, looking at how the playoffs progressed, was, as I detailed in my last piece, predictable.

Brewers fans had waited since 1970 for a championship, and as one might imagine, the celebrations in Milwaukee were raucous and overwhelming. The Brewers won the series in five games, a “gentleman’s sweep,” after blowing a 3-2 lead taken in the 12th inning of a hard-fought fourth game of the series. Besides a 10-1 blowout in game three, most of the games in the series were close and hard-fought. Brewers ace and likely National League Cy Young winner Jacob Misiorowski fittingly started both the first game of the series and the decisive game five.
