What you need to know about the Milwaukee Brewers' offseason, free agents, contracts, potential roster moves and more

The Milwaukee Brewers have won their 11th postseason title in 13 appearances, ending their 11-year World Series drought. As they head into the 2027 offseason, many questions remain regarding the future of several key players.

Christian Yelich, the outfielder who has been with the team since 2015, is locked in through the 2028 season with a mutual option for 2029. He made $26 million in 2027, but his impact this season was less than stellar, recording just 0.1 Wins Above Replacement. In the postseason, though, Yelich had a much better performance, hitting .268 with a .729 OPS and contributing defensively.

Jackson Chourio, another outfielder, has been a bright spot for the team. Signed through 2031 with team options for 2032 and 2033, Chourio made $8 million in 2027. He had his best season this year, posting a .291 average, 25 homers, a .837 OPS, and 23 stolen bases. Chourio also turned a positive defensive edge, contributing seven outs above average and 13 defensive runs saved.

Aaron Ashby, the left-handed pitcher, was a standout in the bullpen this year, winning 13 games with a 3.12 ERA. He was a force down the stretch, posting a 3.12 ERA in 75 appearances. Ashby is set to remain with the team through 2028, with a team option for 2029.

Cooper Pratt, the shortstop, is another player with a long-term contract. Signed through 2033 with team options for 2034 and 2035, Pratt made $3.5 million in 2027. He had a breakout season in 2026, hitting .291 with 25 homers and 23 stolen bases. Pratt's impact increased as the playoffs progressed, hitting six straight hits between Games 4 and 5 in the World Series, including a homer, and going .421 with seven RBI in the Fall Classic.

Luis Lara, the outfielder, is also under contract through 2032 with team options for the following three seasons. He made $2 million in 2027, but his role in the postseason decreased as the Brewers advanced. Pratt's emergence and Chourio's strong performance likely pave the way for Lara to step aside in the outfield.

The Brewers have a total of 16 arbitration-eligible players, with five of them having pending options for the 2027 season. These players include William Contreras, Antonio Senzatela, Gary Sánchez, Dustin May, and others. The remaining players are either non-tendered and become free agents, or their contracts will go to salary arbitration unless the team and player come to an agreement before the November 2 deadline.
