2022 Milwaukee Brewers season

The 2022 Milwaukee Brewers season was the 53rd season for the Brewers in Milwaukee, the 25th in the National League, and 54th overall.

On December 2, 2021, Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred announced a lockout of players, following expiration of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the league and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA). On March 10, 2022, MLB and the MLBPA agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, thus ending the lockout. Opening Day was played on April 7. Although MLB previously announced that several series would be cancelled due to the lockout, the agreement provides for a 162-game season, with originally canceled games to be made up via doubleheaders.

Despite having a three-game lead in the National League Central, when the team traded Josh Hader to the San Diego Padres, the team faltered, losing 31 of their final 60 games and being eliminated from playoff contention for the first time since 2017 on October 3.Crew misses postseason for 1st time since 2017, MLB.com, October 4, 2022

Offseason Lockout

The expiration of the league's collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the Major League Baseball Players Association occurred on December 1, 2021 with no new agreement in place. As a result, the team owners voted unanimously to lockout the players stopping all free agency and trades.

The parties came to an agreement on a new CBA on March 10, 2022.

Rule changes Pursuant to the new CBA, several new rules were instituted for the 2022 season. The National League will adopt the designated hitter full-time, a draft lottery will be implemented, the postseason will expand from ten teams to twelve, and advertising patches will appear on player uniforms and helmets for the first time.
