Brewers' Matt Arnold Is 2025 MLB Executive of the Year, First to Win Twice

Peers across all 30 clubs recognized his cost‑efficient roster building that powered Milwaukee's 97‑win season.

Overview

  • MLB announced the award during the GM Meetings in Las Vegas, making Arnold the first two‑time winner since the honor began in 2018.
  • The Executive of the Year is decided by a pre‑postseason vote of executives from all 30 teams.
  • Arnold was promoted on Oct. 23 to president of baseball operations while retaining the general manager title.
  • Under his leadership, the Brewers posted an MLB‑best 97 regular‑season wins, secured a third straight division crown and reached the NLCS.
  • Low‑cost acquisitions fueled the run: the Devin Williams trade netted Caleb Durbin (third in NL Rookie of the Year), April pickup Quinn Priester went 13‑3 with a 3.32 ERA, and the June deal of Aaron Civale for Andrew Vaughn added a .868 OPS bat.
