Brewers lose Yasmani Grandal to White Sox in free agency

Yasmani Grandal finally got his multi-year deal, and it won’t be with the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Chicago White Sox are announcing they’ve signed Grandal to a 4-year, $73 million contract that will pay the All-Star catcher $18.25 million per year.

That’s the same total the Brewers ended up paying Grandal this year between his $16 million salary and the $2.25 million buyout Grandal collected when he turned down his half of the mutual option.

Based on that, it certainly seems like a deal the Brewers could have matched if they were so inclined.
