First baseman Luke Voit will earn $2 million salary in his one-year contract with the Milwaukee Brewers. That could potentially jump with an additional $3 million in performance bonuses.<\/p>\n
Voit\u2019s contract was announced on Monday and includes a $12 million team option for 2024 with no buyout clause.<\/p>\n
He can earn $500,000 each for 250, 300, 350, 400, 450 and 500 plate appearances in 2023.<\/p>\n
If assigned to the minor leagues, his 2023 salary would be $200,000.<\/p>\n
Voit started out spring training on a minor league contract but then opted back for the major league deal. He hit a two-run homer off Colorado\u2019s Ryan Feltner in an 8-1 spring training win Tuesday, leaving Voit with a .310 batting average, three homers and six RBIs in Cactus League games.<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old \u00a0hit .226 with 22 homers, 69 RBIs and a .308 on-base percentage in 135 games with the San Diego Padres and Washington Nationals last season, when he had a $5.45 million salary.<\/p>\n
Voit\u2019s career-high undoubtedly came in the shortened 2020 season when he hit .277 with a major league-high 22 homers and 52 RBIs in 56 games with the New York Yankees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
