The Milwaukee Brewers have been successful in baseball for nearly a decade, with a focus on steady improvement.
Craig Counsell took over as manager in 2015, and the team showed gradual progress in the following years.
They won the NL Central in 2018, achieving a 96-67 record and making it to the National League Championship Series.
This marked the beginning of a successful period, with five playoff appearances in six seasons, including 2023.
What's remarkable is that the Brewers achieved this success with limited financial resources and a small budget.
Due to their achievements, the Brewers' manager and executives have gained recognition in the baseball world.
Craig Counsell was hired as the manager for the Chicago Cubs.
The New York Mets, who were also interested in Counsell, have now hired one of the Brewers' top executives.
The Mets are focusing on strengthening their scouting team to identify top talent, and the new hire, Brizuela, will contribute to this effort.
With his international connections and minor league experience, Brizuela's addition to the Mets' staff aims to elevate their farm system to an elite level in the future.
