Milwaukee Brewers are not known for sticking to their stars. Only this season, they saw the breakthrough of Willy Adames signed a seven -year contract with $ 182 million with San Francisco Giants After they refused to offer him a contract that was luxurious. In addition, they exchanged a two -time star closer to Devin Williams New York Yankees, because they also do not plan to pay him the starting price at a free agency.
Of course, Milwaukee had previously mentioned another star closer, Josh Hader during the 2022 season for the same reason. At that time it was a very unpopular trade between current Brewers players and fans. But while Hader’s return was disappointing then, one of the players of Milwaukee in return was reversed for the current favorite of fans.
William Contreras was one of the best players of Milwaukee Brewers
One of the players whom the brewers got in exchange for a Hadera, was a prospect in the field of Esteura Ruiz. While his survival in Milwaukee did not last long, he will be remembered by fans as a player of brewers contained in Mega-Deal, who saw Sean Murphy from Oakland and to Atlanta Braves.
As a compact player in the hit differently, Milwaukee sent Ruiz to and when receiving, among others, the catcher William Contreras with Braves.
During trade, Contreras has already been appointed to the NL All-Star team and won the World Series in Atlanta.
He was even better in Milwaukee.
In the first year with Brewers Contreras hit .289/.367/.457 with 17 runs at home and 78 RBI. He also won 86 runs, drastically improving his defense. Contreras won the Silver Leniwnik NL and took the 11th place in MVP voting.
Last season he hit .281/.365/.466 with 23 races at home, 92 RBI and 99 runs. Contreras was won by Silver Slugger, he was elected NL in the All-Star starter and took fifth place in MVP voting.
Milwaukee Brewers fans react to the novel contract of William Contreer
Because Contreras was in the presarbitancy years in each of the last two seasons, he achieved all the above production, and at the same time received less than $ 1 million a year.
This is not the case anymore.
On Friday, it was reported that Contreras and Brewers agreed to an annual contract with the club option at 2026:
Lack of an arbitration dissertation for brewers and their two -time MVP club, William Contreras. The team signed an annual contract with the club option at 2026.

A two-time All-Star catcher will earn $ 6 million this season, and the club’s option in 2026 is worth $ 12 million (with a purchase of $ 100,000).
Needless to say, the fans were delighted when they learned that Contreras would be nearby in the foreseeable future:

I hope that this is just the beginning of a long term for Contreras in Milwaukee.
