I'm curious as to whether the organization can "negotiate" with a player > 5 years experience to get them to accept the option.
(I.e, "Hoby, we'll give you a 100K bonus and agree to call you back up by September 2nd if you'll accept the option").
A pittance amount to the Brewers to help solve an August roster crunch, but no small sum to Milner, a 5% raise on his 2024 salary.
