World Series Hero Jake Bauers Receives $23.15 Million Qualifying Offer

The Milwaukee Brewers extended a one-year, $23.15 million qualifying offer to first baseman Jake Bauers. Coming off a World Series championship and NLCS MVP honors, Bauers posted a career season, slashing .266/.389/.484 with 26 home runs and 86 RBI across 144 regular-season games. Though he hit just .191 in the postseason, his regular-season production led Milwaukee in homers and OBP. He has until Nov. 17 to accept or test free agency.
