Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff has signed a contract extension with the team, securing his presence through at least 2025. The deal includes a $2.5 million salary for this season, $5 million for the next, and a mutual option for a $20 million salary in 2026 with a $10 million buyout. Woodruff, a two-time All-Star, underwent shoulder surgery last season and is not expected to pitch in 2024.
Woodruff has been a standout performer for the Brewers, boasting a career ERA of 3.10 over seven seasons. In 2023, he posted an impressive 2.28 ERA and 0.82 WHIP over 11 starts. Despite his injury setback, the Brewers are optimistic about his future contributions to the team.
