Milwaukee Brewers fans were anxiously awaiting the news of William Contreras' arbitration situation. Most everyone expected the Brewers and Contreras to eventually go to an arbitration hearing, which generally occurs sometime within the first two weeks of February. Seeing as it's currently February 12, Brewers fans were wondering what the hold-up on the situation was.
Thankfully, the hold-up was not because the third-party arbitrators were deliberating over whether to grant Contreras the salary that he and his camp put forward back in early January ($9.9 million) or the one that the Brewers proposed ($8.55 million).
