Brandon Woodruff is something of a legend around these parts, which is why most fans were ecstatic when he accepted his qualifying offer from the Milwaukee Brewers a few weeks ago. However, fans are also aware of Milwaukee's typically shallow pockets, and as a result, the return of Woody has led to some concern over the state of the Brewers’ payroll, adding a hint of bitterness to an otherwise sweet situation. It's certainly nothing compared to the Chicago Cubs reluctantly giving Shota Imanaga a qualifying offer and being shocked when he took it, but Woodruff's choice has put the small-market Brewers in a difficult predicament.
