Brewers Predicted to Sign Loaisiga to Two-Year Deal

Anthony Franco of MLBTradeRumors predicts the reigning World Series champion Milwaukee Brewers will sign right-hander Jonathan Loaisiga to a two-year, $13 million deal. Loaisiga went 7-3 with a 2.42 ERA in 67 games last season.

Why it matters

Milwaukee has most of its core locked up and is not required to be especially active this offseason. A reliever with Loaisiga's ground-ball tendencies could fill a setup role while suiting a team with strong infield defense.

Loaisiga's 2.42 ERA came across 67 innings, his second-highest big league workload, and he has reached 40 innings in a season on three occasions. The projected $13 million figure remains an unconfirmed prediction rather than an announced deal.

The players

Jonathan Loaisiga

A right-handed reliever who turns 32 over the winter and posted a 2.42 ERA last season, the only figure tied to his performance in the report.

The details

Franco based the prediction on Loaisiga's workload and results from last season. Separately, Milwaukee picked up William Contreras' club option for 2027, extended a qualifying offer to Jake Bauers, declined the mutual option on catcher Gary Sanchez, and declined the club option on right-hander Antonio Senzatela, making him a free agent.

Season Trajectory

Free agency opening after a World Series title shapes how a champion retools its bullpen and roster depth for the next season. A predicted reliever addition like Loaisiga's would be one such move in a window where most of Milwaukee's core is already under contract.

If Milwaukee adds Loaisiga, it would give the bullpen another experienced arm, and fantasy managers tracking relief pitching would have a new setup option to monitor. The move would matter most for those watching how the club reshapes its bullpen after the championship season.

The takeaway

Offseason predictions like this one are projections rather than confirmed moves, so readers should watch for official team announcements before treating any contract terms as final.
