“Rickie is not only a well-respected member of the Brewers organization but also the baseball community,” said Brewers General Manager Matt Arnold. “This new role gives him an opportunity to grow professionally and build upon what he’s already accomplished as a player, coach, and executive. We’re confident he’ll thrive in this next step.”

Weeks’ new position will have him closely involved in scouting and player development, both domestically and abroad. He will help evaluate draft-eligible and international prospects, attending workouts, key tournaments, and signing events that shape the organization’s talent pipeline. Additionally, Weeks will work with baseball operations leadership on player acquisitions and provide input on potential on-field rule changes and competition-related developments. His experience as a player and coach gives him a unique perspective that bridges on-field performance with front office decision-making.

For the Brewers, this move represents an investment in one of their most respected baseball minds. For Weeks, it’s an invaluable opportunity to expand his skill set and gain deeper insight into the inner workings of a Major League front office. This hands-on exposure to the operational side of baseball will not only enhance his understanding of player evaluation and roster construction but also position him well for potential future leadership opportunities, perhaps even a managerial role down the line.

At just 43 years old, Weeks is still relatively young by baseball executive standards, making him an especially intriguing figure to watch as his career evolves. A former All-Star second baseman and first overall pick in the 2003 MLB Draft, Weeks spent 11 seasons with the Brewers and became one of the franchise’s cornerstone players during the 2000s and early 2010s. 

As he steps into this new role, Weeks continues to build upon a career defined by growth and leadership. His next chapter in Milwaukee’s front office could very well pave the way for even greater opportunities in baseball’s ever-evolving landscape.
