Alright, so I was digging into this whole William Contreras contract thing with the Milwaukee Brewers. Here’s what I found out after spending some time on it.
First off, I started by looking up the basics. What did I find? Dude signed a 1-year deal for $3,500,000! Yeah, that’s a lot of zeros. And that’s all guaranteed money. So, in 2025, he’s gonna be making a base salary of $3,500,000. Nice, right?
Then, I moved on to his 2024 contract ’cause that’s what we’re really here for. This guy, Contreras, he got paid $766,900 for the 2024 season. I mean, that’s still a lot of money! But then it got me thinking about his performance.
- Checked his stats for 2024, and boy, did he deliver!
- Dude made his second All-Star team. Not bad, not bad at all.
- Also, he snagged his second Silver Slugger award.
- And get this, he finished fifth in voting for NL MVP. Fifth!
After that, I stumbled upon some talk about protecting his career. I read somewhere that Contreras gave the team his blessing for a move. Apparently, if he hadn’t, the Cardinals might have tried to trade him. But the guy’s got a no-trade clause in his five-year, $87.5 million contract that goes through 2027, so he’s got some say in where he plays.
So, I dug a bit deeper into his performance in 2024. I saw that he was on the All-MLB First Team, boasting a 365/ .466 slash line, with 23 home runs and 92 RBIs. Plus, he played in 155 of the Brewers’ 162 games. That’s some serious dedication. Mostly behind the plate, but he also did some designated hitter work.
Wrapping It Up
Finally, I compared his earnings over the past few years. He made $739,000 in 2023, $667,071 in 2022, and just $285 before that. And his net worth? About $1,728. It’s crazy to see how much these numbers can change year to year. Man, I spent a good chunk of time on this, but it was pretty interesting to see how it all breaks down. Hope you guys find this stuff as cool as I did!
