Brewers general manager David Stearns has said he expects a tighter budget for next year.
Milwaukee had a $97 million payroll this season, though they only paid about 37 percent of that due to the shortened schedule.
Assuming fans return to Miller Park, how much will the team spend on salaries in 2021?
Milwaukee is getting an extra $2 million for the stadium naming rights and it is scheduled to sign a new television contract before the season.
With $40 million tied up in the contracts for Christian Yelich, Lorenzo Cain, and Avisail Garcia, the team can’t remain competitive if the payroll slips much below $90-million.
