Story summary

Brewers owner Mark Attanasio took a jab at the Dodgers during an appearance on The Post's "The Show" podcast, suggesting that his team’s success was built through careful strategy rather than big spending. Despite reportedly being in the mix to acquire Tarik Skubal—a two-time American League Cy Young Award winner—the Brewers managed to sweep the Dodgers in the 2026 World Series after winning Game 4. Attanasio implied that if they had lost Game 4, they might have faced Skubal again in a potential Game 7, highlighting the Dodgers' aggressive trade strategy. The 2026 World Series saw small-market teams like the Brewers and Rays reach the finals against larger spending teams such as the Dodgers. The Dodgers, with the highest payroll among MLB's final four teams, were eliminated by Milwaukee in just four games.
