The Milwaukee Brewers are just one win away from their first World Series championship, and an MLB insider is comparing their incredible run to the New York Yankees dynasty teams. MLB Network insider Joel Sherman dropped a bombshell on Monday, saying this 2026 Brewers squad has the same winning mentality that fueled the Yankees when they snagged four World Series titles in five seasons from 1996 to 2000. And honestly, it’s getting tough to argue with him.
That “Absolute Trust” Mentality Is For Real
Sherman highlighted the “absolute trust” that Milwaukee’s players have in each other. Seriously, he broke down how every single hitter in that lineup believes the next guy up is gonna deliver when the moment calls for it. That kind of collective mindset has straight-up transformed the Brewers into one of the most dangerous teams in baseball, pushing them right to the edge of a historic championship. Sherman even popped into the Brewers’ clubhouse after Game 2, asking players, “Why is this working?” Their answer? All about the confidence they have in their teammates. They trust the hitter behind them to get the job done, which takes a ton of pressure off each individual at the plate. That’s the Yankees dynasty vibe, all about talent, depth, and team-first baseball that just builds sustained postseason success.
History in the Making After Game 3 Onslaught
We saw that mentality in action in spectacular fashion during Game 3 of the World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays. Milwaukee absolutely exploded for eight runs in the fifth inning, powering their way to a commanding 10-1 victory. That win gave the Brewers a dominant 3-0 series lead, moving them to within a single win of their first World Series championship in franchise history. This team has already made history by being the first to sweep its Championship Series and then win the first three games of the World Series. Plus, if they clinch this thing, it would extend their postseason winning streak to nine games, setting a new MLB record. Nobody in MLB history has ever recovered from a 3-0 deficit to win the championship, so the Rays have a mountain to climb.
Game 4 is set for Tuesday, and the Brewers hold an advantage no team has ever squandered in the World Series. With confidence flowing throughout the lineup and history staring them down, Milwaukee is on the verge of completing a remarkable postseason run. A victory would not only deliver that first World Series title but also cement their place among baseball’s most memorable teams.
