Latest news
The Brewers extended Bauers a one-year, $23.15 million qualifying offer Monday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
Bauers made himself a lot of money with his breakout showing in 2026. He slashed .266/.389/.484 with 26 home runs and 11 steals during the regular season and later was named NLCS MVP during the Brewers' run to the World Series. This might be the 31-year-old's only chance at landing a multi-year contract, but it wouldn't be a surprise if Bauers opts to lock in a big raise by accepting the qualifying offer.

Bauers was named the NLCS MVP after going 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and three RBI in Game 4 against the Dodgers on Thursday.
The first baseman's ground-rule double during the fourth inning cut a 4-0 deficit in half, and he brought home another run with a bases-loaded walk in the fifth. There were a few strong options to be named series MVP for Milwaukee, but it's hard to argue against Bauers, who went 4-for-14 with three walks, a double, a homer and six RBI during the four-game sweep.

Bauers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Game 3 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Wednesday.
After working a 12-pitch walk to help chase Yoshinobu Yamamoto early in Game 2 on Monday, Bauers capped an 11-pitch at-bat with a two-run blast during the seventh inning Wednesday to erase a 2-1 deficit for Milwaukee. The first baseman's .261 average through seven playoff games this year doesn't jump off the page -- especially since Wednesday's homer was his first extra-base hit in this year's postseason -- but he's also worked six walks and has delivered in key moments, especially in the NLCS.

Bauers is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Pittsburgh.
Bauers started each of the previous five games for the Brewers, going 6-for-20 with a pair of home runs. He will get some rest during Thursday's afternoon tilt. Andrew Vaughn will play first base for the Brewers in the series finale.

Bauers (shins) is back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds.
After three straight days out of the lineup, Bauers is back in the starting nine for Friday's series opener against Cincinnati. The 30-year-old will man first base and bat fifth for Milwaukee.

Bauers (shins) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Cubs.
It's the third straight day out of the lineup for Bauers, who has been dealing with shin splints dating back several weeks. He will attempt to return to the lineup for Friday's contest against the Reds. Andrew Vaughn is at first base, and Luis Lara will handle right field for the Brewers in the series finale.
