Gary Sánchez trade

The Milwaukee Brewers have declined Gary Sánchez's $11 million mutual option for 2025, making him a free agent. Sánchez, who turns 32 next month, will receive a $4 million buyout along with a $3 million salary for the upcoming season. In his 2023 season, he played 89 games, hitting .220 with 11 home runs and 37 RBIs. The Brewers also traded utilityman Owen Miller to the Colorado Rockies for cash; Miller had limited success this year, batting .185 in 14 games. The Brewers are expected to rely on William Contreras as their primary catcher moving forward. Meanwhile, the team is assessing other roster decisions, including options for pitchers Colin Rea and Freddy Peralta.
