The deadline to tender contracts to arbitration-eligible players is tomorrow, and the Brewers have one of the biggest “to tender or not to tender” decisions in the league to make when it comes to second baseman Jonathan Schoop.
A streaky player who never quite broke out of a half-season-long cold streak with the Brewers, Schoop is projected to earn about $10 million next year if the Brewers keep and go into arbitration with him. That’s a lot of money for a team like the Brewers to spend on a player who may not provide very much production, leading him to pop up on just about every non-tender candidate list put out over the past month.
