Brewers Notes: Contreras, Megill, Vaughn

The Brewers won their first World Series in franchise history behind a disciplined offense, strong defense, and a dominant bullpen led by the likely NL Cy Young Award winner. Now facing the offseason, the team must decide whether to extend catcher William Contreras, who won World Series MVP, or trade him away as they've done with previous stars like Josh Hader and Corbin Burnes. The Brewers hold a $14.5MM club option on Contreras through 2027 and previously offered him a three-year, $35MM deal that he rejected, though the postseason revenue may give them more payroll flexibility to pursue a longer-term extension. The team also must decide on closer Trevor Megill and first baseman Andrew Vaughn, with Megill being a likely trade candidate given the organization's depth in bullpen arms.
