Gary Sánchez's contract value with the Milwaukee Brewers has been adjusted from the initial $7 million to a lower base salary due to concerns about his wrist. Despite the lower offer of $2 million, the Marlins may be the only team offering him a starting job. Sánchez clarified that a hand injury, not his right wrist, delayed the deal with the Brewers.

ust talked to Gary Sánchez, who explained it WASN'T his right wrist that held up his deal with the Brewers. Instead, he suffered a hand injury several weeks ago doing a workout.
Updated FA Matrix with Gary Sánchez's lowered base salary; still assuming there's a mutual option but that hasn't been made clear: https://t.co/qoS3snmyYi
Nightengale said yesterday on @FoulTerritoryTV that the offer is for $2M, and while that would be way below expectations (median prediction was $11.5M), it's clear the league just isn't buying a bounce back too much. The Marlins may well be the only team giving him a starting job https://t.co/hBmXxYmx46
Gary Sanchez still seems headed to Milwaukee, but it appears he'll take a lower base salary than initially reported because of the team's concern about his wrist https://t.co/aEefzAwNCo https://t.co/J7lZx9cT9Y
Gary Sánchez will indeed be a Milwaukee Brewer. Nearly two weeks after reaching agreement with the club on a one-year, $7 million contract, the free-agent catcher is close to finalizing the deal. More from @Ken_Rosenthal ⤵️ https://t.co/KBJH4WqubG
I'll still operate under the assumption there's a mutual option, but I've reverted Gary Sánchez's contract value to "TBA" with Rosenthal reporting it won't be for the full $7M: https://t.co/qoS3snmyYi
