Miami Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers Among Cheapest Spenders of 2025 MLB Offseason
The 2025 MLB offseason has been underway for over two months, with plenty of blockbuster trades and massive free agent signings defining the winter so far.
However, a few teams have seemingly sat out on the action altogether.
The Seattle Mariners, for one, have yet to commit a single dollar to their MLB payroll in any capacity, per Spotrac. The Miami Marlins are in a similar boat, with their only move thus far being a split contract for infielder Eric Wagaman.
The St. Louis Cardinals’ front office hasn’t been much more aggressive, simply spending $250K on international free agents. And although the Minnesota Twins, San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers haven’t signed a free agent, they have at least spent money on avoiding arbitration with players, while the Kansas City Royals and Atlanta Braves gave pitchers Michael Wacha and Reynaldo López eight-figure extensions.
Teams who are yet to make a fully-guaranteed MLB FA signing this offseason:
Royals (Wacha was an extension)
Twins
MarinersBraves (split contracts for De La Cruz, Gillispie, Rodriguez)
Marlins (split contract for Wagaman)
Brewers (split contract for Wolfram)
Cardinals
Padres— Jon Becker (@jonbecker_) January 4, 2025
It isn’t surprising that the Marlins have skimped out on their big league payroll, considering all of the franchise centerpieces they have traded away over the past year. In 2024 alone, Miami dumped Luis Arráez, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Tanner Scott, Jake Burger and Jesús Luzardo, just to name a few.
The Brewers, unlike the Marlins, actually made the playoffs in 2024, so their lack of spending is at least somewhat softened by their recent success. They also had first baseman Rhys Hoskins pick up his $18 million player option, which doesn’t count towards their free agent spending, nor does their one-year, $1.35 million agreement with backup catcher Eric Haase.
There are still six weeks until pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training, and a good number of notable free agents are still out there on the open market. It remains to be seen if the cheaper teams will finally break out of their shells to add some of them, or if only the rich will get richer.

Travelers see shorter lines at Milwaukee Mitchell despite the ongoing partial government shutdown
MILWAUKEE — Despite a partial government shutdown causing long TSA lines at airports across the country, travelers at Milwaukee Mitchell airport are experiencing short wait times ahead of spring break.
John Wahlen and his colleague Joe Orendorf were coming back home from North Carolina and prepared for a much different scene.
“We were remarkably surprised that it was as easy as it was,” Wahlen said.

A national TSA spokesperson told TMJ4 that over 3,450 TSA officers called out across the country on Thursday. The national call-out rate was at 11.83% percent, the highest since the shutdown began.
While the TSA could not provide specific numbers for Milwaukee Mitchell, the airport was not in the top-10 for call-out rates.
The highest percentages of call-offs came from much larger airports, including George Bush Intercontinental in Houston at 44 percent, Atlanta at almost 41 percent, and Baltimore at 37 percent.
“We were in smaller airports, Raleigh-Durham, I think we waited for two people, and one of them was him,” Orendorf said.

A spokesperson for Milwaukee Mitchell told TMJ4 that around 11,000 people are expected this Friday and Saturday, and next Friday and Saturday as spring break travel peaks.
President Trump signed an executive order to pay TSA agents, meaning a resolution may be on the horizon. Travelers, including Selena Mauricio, said they are thankful for the agents who are still showing up.

“Their jobs aren’t easy, and I commend the ones that still come to work, definitely,” Mauricio said.
