I'm assuming there is a big financial crunch until the Adames situation is resolved. They just offered him and he will turn it down ... but the Brewers can't really assign that money elsewhere until he is gone. So I think we are in a bit of a holding pattern to spend anything until that happens, hopefully sooner than later.
Until then, need to scrape a few dollars together to sign a few options if they come up ... which might explain a few of these recent moves.
