Brewers Exercise $15.5 Million Club Option on Catcher William Contreras

The Milwaukee Brewers officially exercised their $15.5 million club option for the 2027 season on catcher William Contreras. Fresh off winning World Series MVP honors during Milwaukee's championship run, the star backstop is slated to anchor the middle of the Brewers' lineup again next year. Contreras is currently set to reach free agency after 2027, with the club expected to resist winter trade inquiries.
