Ben Gamel was non-tendered by the Brewers according to the team.

The club declined his $2.25 million option back in October, so this was an expected move. The 28-year old outfielder put up a .237/.315/.404 batting line to go along with three home runs and 10 RBI across 114 at-bats for Milwaukee in 2020. He shouldn't have any trouble finding a new team via free agency this winter.
