William Contreras had a one-year contract for the 2025 season with the Milwaukee Brewers worth $6.1 million, with a team option for 2026. The Brewers' 2026 club option is for $12 million, with a $100,000 buyout if they choose not to pick it up.
The consensus is that the Brewers should think of Wild Bill as their potential long term catcher. How can anyone disagree with that? He calls a great game, often hits well, and is a true team leader in the clubhouse. And yet Jeferson Quero might be a superstar. I hope he's the backup starting in 2026. (I hope there's a season in 2026). Then we'll know what we have. If Quero produces like he's expected to, is he the better long term player behind the plate?
