They are located inSanto Domingo Este,Santo Domingo,Dominican Republic. They play their home games at the Milwaukee Brewers Dominican Republic Academy, which opened in 2024. They previously played at the Tower Complex from 2012 to 2023.
The Milwaukee Brewers began fielding teams in the Dominican Summer League in 1989, though several teams were operated as co-ops in partnership with otherMajor 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: theDSL Brewers Blue andDSL Brewers Gold. From 2021 to 2024, they were known theDSL Brewers 1 andDSL Brewers 2, respectively.
The Brewers won their loneDSL championship in 2001.
TheMilwaukee Brewers entered theDominican Summer League (DSL) in 1989 as part of a co-op team shared with theBoston Red Sox andBaltimore Orioles.[1] In 1990, they ran a co-op with theToronto 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 theHouston Astros in 1994 and 1995 and theChicago 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 theDSL Dodgers, 3–2.[4] The 2001 DSL Brewers, managed byMike Guerrero, won theDSL championship versus theDSL 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 awild card berth but were eliminated in the first round by theDSL Orioles, 2–1.[5]
The DSL Brewers began operating out of the Tower Complex inRamón Santana in 2012.[6] Built in 2006, the facility was owned and operated by former MilwaukeecloserSalomón Torres and was previously home to theTexas Rangers' Dominican operations.[6]
From 2017 to 2019, the Brewers partnered with theCleveland Indians to field a second team in addition to their own.[3] They planned to have a co-op team with Toronto in 2020, but the season was cancelled due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.[7][8] Since 2021, Milwaukee has operated two DSL teams.[3]
Following the 2023 season, the Brewers opened the new Dominican Republic Academy on a 30-acre (12 ha) site inSanto Domingo Este. Owned by the Brewers, the facility includes three full fields, an infield, a four-tunnel indoor batting facility, and classrooms among other amenities.[9] In 2025, the names DSL Brewers 1 and DSL Brewers 2 were changed to DSL Brewers Blue and DSL Brewers Gold, respectively, for the team's colors.[10]
