I've thought about this a little lately....
If you buyout Brouwer now, you save $3M this year and next year, but then it costs you $1.5M for 2 years.
If - worst case scenario if not bought out - you bury him in Stockton, he costs $3.6M against the cap this year, A year where it looks like you have about $7M to play with. Then save $3M next year with a buy out, and end up with only ONE season of a $1.5M cap hit.
...Could you close your eyes, swallow hard, and put Brouwer in the minors for a season to get cap relief in 2021-2022?
