Brewers Avoid Arbitration With William Contreras
The Milwaukee Brewers announced on Thursday that they avoided salary arbitration with catcher William Contreras by signing him to an undisclosed one-year deal with a club option for the 2027 season. Contreras' downtick in production last year most likely had to do with the fact that he played through a fracture in his left middle finger. The 28-year-old backstop slashed .260/.355/.399 with a .754 OPS, 17 home runs, 76 RBI, 89 runs scored, and six stolen bases in 150 games (659 plate appearances). Contreras had surgery on his finger in the offseason, but he's expected to be a full-go for Opening Day this year, and fantasy managers should still consider him a top-five catcher. The two-time All-Star will see plenty of volume and has high-end power at the shallow catching position.
