Constructing Pat Murphy's reliever trust tree heading into Brewers' 2026 postseason run

The Milwaukee Brewers won a franchise-record 103 games in 2026 under manager Pat Murphy's aggressive "win tonight" approach, which resulted in heavy bullpen usage throughout the season. Trevor Megill led the team with 30 saves, while Aaron Ashby, Abner Uribe, and Chad Patrick combined for 16 additional saves. Beyond this core group, the Brewers have several other reliable relievers including DL Hall (1.91 ERA), trade deadline acquisition JoJo Romero (3.38 ERA in 11 appearances), and rookie Shane Drohan (1.47 ERA in relief appearances), with Antonio Senzatela and Kyle Harrison available for specific matchups as the team enters the NLDS against San Diego.
