Brewers, Brandon Woodruff Avoid Arbitration
2 years agoThe Milwaukee Brewers and starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $10.8 million deal on Friday, according to a source. Woodruff continues to be one of the better pitchers in baseball after going 13-4 with a 3.05 ERA (3.08 FIP), 1.07 WHIP and 30.7 percent strikeout rate in 27 starts over 153 1/3 innings pitched last season. Injuries are a concern for the 29-year-old right-hander -- he's never topped 179 1/3 innings in his six major-league seasons -- but aside from those concerns, he's been very solid for fantasy managers. Woodruff has never had an ERA above 5.00 in any of his seasons and has only been over a 4.00 ERA once, in his rookie season in 2017.
