What is the story about?
First baseman/outfielder Jake Bauers, a pillar of Milwaukee’s World Series run, has agreed to a four-year, $58 million deal to join the Boston Red Sox.
Bauers, 31, received a $23.15 million qualifying offer from the Brewers but will turn that down and head to Boston on a longer deal. Bauers’ declining the QO means Milwaukee will receive a compensation pick in the 2027 MLB Draft. Given that the deal is over the $50 million threshold, the pick will be between the first round and Competitive Balance
Round A.
