Spend some money #Brewers@Brewers @Haudricourt Not at all impressed with Arnold. Spend some money #BrewersFans believe that Stearns may be searching for a new job once his contract with the team is up. His contract is set to expire following the 2023 season. Fans believe Milwaukee's inability to spend money was a reason as to why Stearns stepped down.Some fans aren't impressed with Arnold taking over for Stearns. If Stearns wasn't able to convince ownership to spend money, then how would Arnold? Fans are starting to prepare for the worst.The Milwaukee Brewers had a disappointing season this yearMiami Marlins v Milwaukee BrewersThe Milwaukee Brewers couldn't catch the St. Louis Cardinals to win the NL Central. They finished the season with an 86-76 record, seven games behind St. Louis.They had a chance to secure one of the NL Wild Card spots before the season ended. However, they struggled at the end of the season while the Philadelphia Phillies got hot. They missed out to the Phillies on the final Wild Card spot by one game.They missed their opportunity to get into the postseason this year and the fans are eager for them to be contenders next season. Their star players like Christian Yelich aren't getting any younger. They'll need to acquire some talent if they want to shake up the league next season.Given how weak of a division the NL Central has been lately, Milwaukee needs to assert their dominance.
