He had a great season as Josh Hader’s set-up man in 2021 and got even better when he moved into the closer role midway through the

  Brewers infielder Brice Turang | Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images From Turang and Ortiz to young prospects, will it be enough to win the division in 2025? The Brewers might not have achieved their goals in 2024, but they still stand to fight for another division crown next year.
  If shortstop Willy Adames leaves in free agency, that could leave the infield with some question marks. How will the players be deployed? And will there be enough offensive firepower to carry the team?
