Small market Major League Baseball teams like the Milwaukee Brewers aren’t dreaming about paying free agents like pitcher Trevor Bauer millions of dollars right now.
This is the part of the off-season where the Brewers have to decide what to do with 11 players who are eligible for arbitration.
Those players would have made about $21 million for a full season and could cost $34 million next summer.
The only one sure to get an offer – if he isn’t traded – is closer Josh Hader. He stands to get somewhere around $7 million.
With the emergence of Devin Williams and Hader’s growing paycheck, it isn’t impossible the lefty might be packaged for the solid hitter or two Milwaukee really needs.
