Quick Summary

Jake Bauers, who was named NLCS MVP for the Brewers and had a career resurgence at age 31, expressed his desire to continue with the team. However, there is uncertainty about whether he has priced himself out of their budget range as a free agent. With career earnings estimated at around $4.6 million on Baseball-Reference, Bauers could potentially secure a contract similar to Ryan O’Hearn’s two-year, $29 million deal with the Pirates.
