Overview
- MLB.com's Mark Feinsand reported Contreras as the Brewers’ lone unresolved arbitration case after the filing deadline.
- Contreras filed at $9.9 million for 2026 while the team submitted $8.55 million, and he responded with a one-word “Wow” on X.
- The dispute follows Milwaukee declining his $12 million option in November and paying a $100,000 buyout.
- If no agreement is reached, a three-person arbitration panel will pick either the club’s figure or the player’s, with hearings typically held in February.
- The Brewers reached deals with five other arbitration-eligible players, indicating the issue is limited to Contreras’ case.
