The genius of the Milwaukee Brewers' President of Baseball Operations, Matt Arnold, not only shines through in the countless trades that he's won since taking over as the head of the front office in November of 2022, but it's also apparent in the minor, often overlooked moves that he makes to keep the Brewers competitive despite their modest payroll.
One such move, that snuck under the radar last offseason, is now coming into focus as the Brewers approach the deadline to exercise or decline the club and mutual options included in several of their players' contracts; the exact deadline is yet to be determined, as it will occur five days after the completion of the World Series, and that date is not set in stone.
