Overview

  • The award was announced Thursday during the GM Meetings in Las Vegas and is voted on by executives from all 30 clubs before the postseason.
  • Milwaukee posted a franchise-record 97 regular-season wins in 2025, secured a third straight division title, and finished with MLB’s best record for the first time since 1982.
  • His offseason deals included sending Corbin Burnes to Baltimore for Joey Ortiz and DL Hall and moving Devin Williams to the Yankees for Caleb Durbin and Nestor Cortes, with Durbin later finishing third in NL Rookie of the Year voting.
  • In-season additions Quinn Priester (from Boston) and Andrew Vaughn (acquired for Aaron Civale) delivered key production after midyear moves to stabilize the roster.
  • Weeks before the honor, Milwaukee elevated Arnold to president of baseball operations while he retained the GM title, underscoring the club’s commitment to his leadership.
