Brandon Woodruff is back! The longest-tenured Milwaukee Brewer has officially accepted the team's $22.025 million qualifying offer and will remain with the organization where he has spent the last 11 years, nine of which have been with the big-league club. It's an unprecedented moment in Brewers history as no other player has accepted the qualifying offer since it was implemented in 2012. Additionally, Woodruff's 2026 salary will be the highest single-season salary of any pitcher in Brewers history.
It's the second time that it looked like the Brewers might lose Woodruff to free agency, but managed to work out an agreement that made sense for both sides.
