Brewers Notes: Contreras, Megill, Vaughn

Following their first World Series title, the Milwaukee Brewers face pivotal offseason roster decisions regarding catcher William Contreras, closer Trevor Megill, and first baseman Andrew Vaughn. Both Contreras and Megill are entering their final season of club control before free agency following the 2027 season, presenting Milwaukee with choices between contract extensions, holding them, or exploring trades.

Milwaukee holds a $14.5 million club option on Contreras, with an extension or retaining him into 2027 considered viable due to postseason revenue. Conversely, MLB Trade Rumors suggests Megill could be a prime trade candidate given Milwaukee's bullpen depth, while Vaughn's projected $8.5 million arbitration salary makes him a candidate for a trade or non-tender.
