The Milwaukee Brewers began fielding teams in the Dominican Summer League in 1989, though several teams were operated as co-ops in partnership with other Major League Baseball clubs. The DSL Brewers have played continuously since 2010 following previous stretches from 1991 to 1993 and 1997 to 2003. Milwaukee currently operates two DSL teams: the DSL Brewers and DSL Brewers/Blue Jays, a co-op with the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Brewers won their lone DSL championship in 2001.

History

The Milwaukee Brewers entered the Dominican Summer League (DSL) in 1989 as part of a co-op team shared with the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles.[1] In 1990, they ran a co-op with the Toronto Blue Jays.[2] The Brewers had their first solo DSL team for three seasons from 1991 to 1993.[3] They reverted to the co-op approach after this stretch, partnering with the Houston Astros in 1994 and 1995 and with the Chicago White Sox in 1996.[3]

From 1997 to 2003, the Brewers once again operated their own team.[3] The 2000 club reached the championship finals but lost to the DSL Dodgers, 3–2.[4] The 2001 DSL Brewers, managed by Mike Guerrero, won the DSL championship versus the DSL Phillies, 3–2.[4]

Milwaukee left the DSL after the 2003 campaign and did not return until 2009 in partnership with Baltimore.[3] They fielded their own squad from 2010 to 2016.[3] The 2011 DSL Brewers qualified for the playoffs with a wild card berth but were eliminated in the first round by the DSL Orioles, 2–1.[5]

Since 2012, the DSL Brewers have operated out of the Tower Complex in Ramón Santana.[6] Built in 2006, the facility is owned and operated by former Milwaukee closer Salomón Torres and was previously home to the Texas Rangers' Dominican operations.[6]

In 2017, the Brewers began to field two Dominican squads. In addition to their own team, they partnered with the Cleveland Indians from 2017 to 2019.[3] They planned their second team to be a co-op with Toronto in 2020, but the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7][8]
