After officially declining Ryan Braun’s $15 million option as expected earlier this morning, the Brewers are also giving us some of the first indications that they’ll be looking to cut costs wherever possible this offseason with another decision on a player with an option for 2021.
According to Jon Heyman, outfielder Ben Gamel, who avoided arbitration by signing a one-year deal with a team option for 2021 prior to this season, is getting that option declined.
Brewers turn down Ben Gamel’s $2.55M option. He remains arbitration eligible for them.
