Your Off Season Plan:

Here is your chance to play General Manager:

Although, the Brewers have already started maneuvering, please pretend that they haven’t and draft your own plan for the Brewers off season.

If you want to be realistic, please play within some salary constraints. According to Cotts, the Brewers payroll in 2023 was $118M. 2022 it was $131M. It is unlikely that the Brewers are planning to go above that total salary amount.

And if you are going to propose a trade, please try to keep it reasonable. Although not an exact science Baseball Trade Values can provide some guidance on whether the trade you want to do actually has potential.

Feel free to post your off season plan in comments or copy and paste and have your own fan post.
