Abner Uribe's $798,300 Deal Is a Steal and His Manager Still Called Him 'Embarrassing'
Okay, so we're all fired up for our Mariners, right? But seriously, you gotta see what's going down with the Brewers' flamethrower Abner Uribe. This dude's got triple-digit heat and is locking down late innings, but his manager just ripped him after a huge win. And the kicker? Milwaukee's getting all this nastiness for what looks like one of the biggest bargains in baseball. Wild.
The Steal of a Deal
Seriously, think about it: Uribe signed a one-year, fully guaranteed contract with Milwaukee for a mere $798,300 for the 2026 season. That's his whole base salary, his average annual salary, the whole nine yards. This guy made his MLB debut in July 2023 after grinding through their farm system since 2018 when he signed out of the Dominican Republic. He even pulled in $762,200 last year in 2025. Spotrac estimates his career earnings are only around $2.38 million entering 2026. The dude's represented by Klutch Sports Group, but he's still pre-arbitration for another year, hitting arbitration eligibility in 2028. For a late-inning weapon producing saves, that under $800K deal is an absolute steal for Milwaukee. It makes you wonder how many other crazy bargains are out there, eh?

But here's where it gets wild. The Brewers just rolled past the St. Louis Cardinals 6-0. A dominant win, right? Nope, that's not what anyone was talking about postgame. The buzz was all about Uribe in the eighth inning. He struck out Alec Burleson in a tense spot, then turned straight to the Cardinals' dugout and threw down a WWE-style taunt. Like, before the out was even confirmed by replay review! Brewers manager Pat Murphy didn't mince words, calling the celebration "unacceptable" and "embarrassing." Uribe did apologize later, saying he was just frustrated by some alleged Cardinals dugout antics. Still, pretty wild to see your manager publicly blast a guy who's playing lights out on such a cheap deal.
Whew! Talk about drama. While all that's going on, our boys in green and blue are handling business. You already know the Mariners just crushed the Athletics, winning 9-1. That's what we love to see! Let's keep that momentum rolling as our M's gear up for their next game. We're watching every pitch, waiting for Julio Rodriguez to launch another moonshot or Cal Raleigh to smash a clutch dinger. This season is ours for the taking, Seattle! Go M's!
