Brewers Back-of-the-napkin Payroll for 2023

[John Bonnes]

I was trying to get my hands around what the Brewers might be able to spend on free agents this offseason, so here are my back-of-the-napkin estimates on players and their salaries next year. The goal isn't to be exact - there are a lot of unknowns like arbitration amounts, etc - but to provide a rough guess so we can get within $5M of overall salary position. Before I start using this in stories on the site, I'd love feedback on this. Who am I missing, or what numbers look fishy to you all?

(FYI "Arb -x" means how many years they have until they escape arbitration. So Arb -1 means it is their last year of arbitration.) 

Thanks!

You don't have Ashby's contract, Milner is in arbitration, Brosseau is missing and arbitration, why no salary for minimum salary guys? Don't have Taylor but he is minimum.

I guess you assume they are declining Boxberger 's option and non tender of Gustave who is in arbitration.

These are nice, but don't fill in the arbitration number gaps, which are significant for the Brewers next year:
