Dustin May Declines Mutual Option With Brewers

Dustin May declined his mutual option with the Brewers, receiving a $500K buyout and entering free agency. The right-hander posted a 4.70 ERA across 145 2/3 innings in 2024 after being acquired mid-season from the Cardinals alongside reliever JoJo Romero. May struck out 23.2% of batters and averaged nearly 97 mph on his fastball, giving teams reason to pursue him despite an uneven season that included a 5.65 ERA in the regular season with Milwaukee.
