Locking in Andrew Vaughn now could be a game-changer for the Brewers’ future payroll. Instead of facing unpredictable arbitration costs in 2026, Milwaukee could secure a steady bat and cost certainty with a smart, flexible extension. Vaughn’s breakout hints at real upside, but the front office needs to structure the deal with team-friendly options and incentives—protecting the budget if things don’t pan out. It’s a classic small-market move: control risk, keep talent, and avoid annual first-base headaches. Would you take the gamble on Vaughn’s potential, or wait for more proof? #Sports #Baseball #Brewers
