Some MLB teams are quieter than others during free agency, but the Milwaukee Brewers have been completely silent this offseason.
After the Miami Marlins signed infielder Jean Segura to a two-year, $17 million contract on Wednesday, the Brewers were left as the only MLB team that had not signed a single free-agent player to a major league contract this offseason.
as tracked in @jonbecker_'s FA Matrix (https://t.co/VFJh0ycLAl), this leaves MIL as the only team yet to sign an MLB free agent this winter
$17M for Segura also vaults MIA to 24th in FA spending, ahead of:
CIN ($11.9M)
ARI ($9.75M)
COL ($8.5M)
ATL ($1.4M)
SEA ($1.2M)
MIL ($0M) https://t.co/yOwkdhwMBq— Céspedes Family BBQ (@CespedesBBQ) December 29, 2022
The Brewers went 86-76 last season and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2017. They are currently projected to be 25th in baseball in 2023 with a payroll of just $42 million. If you think your team has been hesitant to spend to improve this offseason, try being a Brewers fan.
For what it’s worth, the Brewers have not been totally inactive this winter. They have made a couple of noteworthy trades, but it is rare to see a team without a single free-agent signing as the New Year quickly approaches.
