- Manager Pat Murphy became the oldest skipper to win his first World Series, while Series MVP William Contreras led with 10 successful challenges and Jackson Chourio recorded 11 hits.
- Pitcher Dustin May and his wife, Amelia, announced Thursday they are expecting a baby. "We'll be telling Baby May about the 2026 World Series for forever," Amelia wrote on Instagram.
