Winemaker and catcher William Contelaes According to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Daily, the arbitration was avoided. He and brewing have signed a one -year transaction with the club options of 2026. Each time you get Mark Feinsand, Backstop will earn $ 6mm of 6 mm this year, and it has a $ 100,000 acquisition at $ 12mm options, so he guarantees $ 6.1. Millimeter. If the club option is eventually rejected, he will still be controlled by the club.
January 15 is the deadline for teams and application data that meets the application of arbitration qualifications. Most players agree to reach an agreement with their own clubs before the deadline, but Contreras is 17. He submitted at a price of 6.5 mm and the club was $ 5.6mm. The agreement made him slightly beyond the midpoint of these two numbers. MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz predicts that the price of Backstop is 7.6mm.
After the submission deadline, the team and players can continue to negotiate freely. However, most clubs adopt the “file and trial” policy, which means that they refuse to negotiate a year of transactions after the deadline. It is very common to have trading after the deadline, but the club may be involved before the hearing. This is a technical, because the option means that the transaction cannot be used as the comparability of future ARB cases. In this case, this has passed.
This is the first of the three arbitration opportunities of Contreras, and he has been in the club’s control in 2027. The subsequent salary increase will be based on the basic salary of 2025, which is an important case for players and clubs. As mentioned earlier, this option is mainly technical. Even if the club eventually refused, he would still be controlled by the winemaker through arbitration.
Prior to the 2023 campaign, Contreras was from Atlanta winemakers Sean Murphy To Atlanta. In the two seasons of Milwaukee, he reduced the 128 WRC+.285/.366/.462. Compared to his big time in Atlanta, his defensive indicators have also been greatly improved. In the eyes of Fangraphs, his alternative rate in these two campaigns exceeded 11.2 victory.
