The Milwaukee Brewers are facing a pivotal offseason as several key players enter free agency, including All-Star catcher Gary Sánchez. After hitting 11 home runs and driving in 37 runs during his time with the Brewers in 2024, Sánchez is projected to secure a $3.6 million deal this winter.

Analysts suggest that the Miami Marlins could be a potential landing spot for Sánchez, as they look to bolster their roster with veterans seeking more playing time. This move could align with the Marlins' strategy of acquiring players who can contribute significantly while also being trade assets later in the season.

Several Major League Baseball players are poised for salary arbitration, with 29 players eligible after two to three years of service time. Notable names include Boston's Jarren Duran and Kutter Crawford, along with Seattle's George Kirby and Tampa Bay's Shane Baz.

The eligibility cutoff has been adjusted to 2 years and 132 days of service, impacting players like Washington's Michael Rucker and Atlanta's Angel Perdomo. The arbitration process will see proposed salaries exchanged on January 9, with hearings scheduled for late January to mid-February.
