This Friday, November 21, is MLB’s tender deadline, the date when teams must decide whether to offer contracts to players under club control for the 2026 season. Players who are "non-tendered,“ typically those with climbing arbitration salaries, immediately become free agents.
For the Milwaukee Brewers, seven players are eligible for arbitration this winter, ranging from William Contreras, projected to earn $11.1 million, to Garrett Mitchell at $1.0 million. The group also includes Jake Bauers, Andrew Vaughn, Nick Mears, Trevor Megill, and Brice Turang.
Of this group, back-up first baseman Bauers was non-tendered by the Brewers just a year ago.
