Brewers Lock Down Bauers for $2.7M
22 Nov
Summary
- Jake Bauers agreed to a one-year contract for $2.7 million.
- The Brewers avoided arbitration with the first baseman/outfielder.
- The team is still in arbitration talks with six other players.

The Milwaukee Brewers have reached an agreement with first baseman and outfielder Jake Bauers, securing his services for one year through a contract valued at $2.7 million. This deal effectively resolves their arbitration case with the player.
The team met the contractual deadline by tendering contracts to their eligible arbitration-bound players. Bauers' contract marks a significant step in solidifying the roster for the upcoming season. Non-tendering a player would have made them a free agent, a path the Brewers chose not to take with Bauers.
While Bauers' situation is settled, the Brewers are still engaged in arbitration discussions with six other players who have several seasons of Major League service but do not yet qualify for free agency. The outcomes of these ongoing negotiations will further shape the team's final roster.
