The Milwaukee Brewers successfully avoided arbitration with two of their star pitchers in Brandon Woodruff and Josh Hader.

The deadline to file arbitration figures was Friday at noon, and shortly afterwards the Brewers announced they had agreed to deals with both Woodruff and Hader to avoid arbitration. Now the Brewers have no players remaining in the arbitration process.

Last year, Hader went to an arbitration hearing against the Brewers and lost.
