Shortly after a stellar 2017 season, the Milwaukee Brewers signed Chase Anderson to a modest contract extension that included a guaranteed two years for 2018 and 2019 and then two club option years for 2020 and 2021, potentially buying out one year of free agency.
Two underwhelming seasons later and the Brewers are facing their first option decision on Anderson.
What Is Anderson’s Club Option?
The option for the 2020 season carries an $8.5 million salary, with just a $500k buyout. He played on a $6.5 million salary in 2019, which means he’d get a two million dollar raise.
