Bauers is getting a blank check in the off-season

At least he's playing himself into qualitying offer territory

That's probably the likeliest outcome. Brewers are very pragmatic and have a ton of lefty hitting talent coming up in the farm system. One more year of Bauers is probably what they're hoping for.

Balancing the emotional impact of losing guys like Bauers and Contreras with the realistic regression that both could face as they age will be a big challenge for the front office.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit to see him get a 3/80 offer.
