The Milwaukee Brewers' offseason is in full swing, with free agency looming and key decisions to be made about their roster and payroll. The team's projected payroll for 2026 is over $100 million, with this season's total estimated near $121 million. The lineup includes both locked-in contracts and arbitration-eligible players, as well as minimum salaries for pre-arbitration guys and buyouts for veterans like Brandon Woodruff and Rhys Hoskins. The infield features familiar faces like William Contreras and Christian Yelich, while Freddy Peralta is the main name carrying a bigger price tag in the rotation. The team must decide on team options for veterans like Woodruff, weighing whether to hang on to key players or free up payroll for other targets. The outfield and bench situation is also a big storyline, with Garrett Mitchell's return from injury potentially shaking things up. Fans are hoping the ownership is willing to spend more to build around the current core, as the countdown to the new season begins.
