Payroll is 20.83% under budget

[Roderick]

I have Yelich at $22M.  Chourio at $7.0M  

Mitchell is going to be first year arby, so while injured, he is going to get more than $1M.

Don't the pre-arby guys that have played get a small bump over league min wage (each ballclub pays a little different).  Unless that has changed all those guys list at .8M might be a smidge more if they have played before (like Frelick).  

How do we know we are 20.83% under budget?  Do you work for the Brewers and know what their budget is?

Dumping salaries of Hoskins, Quintana and Woodruff makes quite a bit of difference compared to 2025 payroll. I understand Woodruff still gets his buyout, regardless.

This is coming from the Payroll Blueprint Tool - Brewer Fanatic

So rather than being snippy in your response... maybe try it out yourself and tell us what you think the budget will be.

Just about the exact same team as in 2025. I don't think it's good enough to get to the W.S.....They need another big bat on the left side of the infield or in the outfield.
