The Brewers are in a good position to reach the postseason again next year but don’t expect the team to spend big bucks on a free agent this off-season.
Milwaukee has made the playoffs for four straight seasons but the money is going to be tight this time.
The Brewers have an estimated $112-million in contracts on the books for 2022 before adding any new players.
That would be the second-highest payroll since owner Mark Attanasio bought the team 16 years ago.
Milwaukee is carrying some big contracts on the books right now and it might not be easy to trade players like Christian Yelich and Jackie Bradley Junior after subpar performances in 2021.
