MILWAUKEE -- With 10 players eligible for arbitration at the start of the day, Wednesday¡¯s non-tender deadline was sure to produce a flurry of activity for the Brewers, culminating in a trade that sent former All-Star closer Corey Knebel to the Dodgers.

Wednesday at 7 p.m. CT was the deadline for teams to tender contracts to unsigned players on their 40-man roster for 2021, most notably their players eligible for arbitration. By day¡¯s end, those players would fall into one of four categories:

1. In agreement for a new contract
2. Traded
3. Non-tendered, making the player a free agent
4. Tendered a contract, meaning the club commits to going through the arbitration process to determine the player¡¯s 2021 salary

Here are the 10 Brewers players affected, along with Wednesday¡¯s outcomes:

Orlando Arcia
Wednesday outcome: Signed one-year contract (reportedly worth $2 million)
Non-prorated 2020 salary: $2.2 million
Outlook: Arcia faced competition going into last year after the Brewers traded for Luis Ur¨ªas, but he wound up being the everyday shortstop once again after Ur¨ªas endured a series of misfortunes, and Arcia made the most of the opportunity, posting a career-best .734 OPS. His new deal was first reported by USA Today, and represents the second straight year that he signed ahead of the deadline to avoid a potential non-tender.

Alex Claudio
Wednesday outcome: Non-tendered
Non-prorated 2020 salary: $1.75 million
Outlook: Claudio, a left-handed relief specialist, was non-tendered on this day last year, but then re-signed as a free agent. He could be a candidate to return in the same way.

Ben Gamel
Wednesday outcome: Non-tendered
Non-prorated 2020 salary: $1.4 million
Outlook: Gamel emerged from Summer Camp red-hot, but he cooled off during the regular season and eventually missed the final two weeks of the regular season with a strained left quadriceps. His .237/.315/.404 slash line in 40 games wasn¡¯t enough to entice the Brewers to exercise a $2.55 million club option.

Josh Hader
Wednesday outcome: Tendered, remains in arbitration
Non-prorated 2020 salary: $4.1 million
Outlook: Hader went all the way to an arbitration hearing with the Brewers prior to 2020 and lost, but it didn¡¯t impact his performance. Hader set an all-time record for the most hitless appearances to begin a season (12) and finished with another sub-1.00 WHIP (0.95). This will be his second of four turns through the arbitration process after he qualified last year as a Super Two.

Corey Knebel
Wednesday outcome: Traded to Dodgers for player to be named or cash
Non-prorated 2020 salary: $5.125 million
Outlook: After missing all of 2019 while recovering from Tommy John surgery, Knebel was denied the usual rehab process as he returned to action in ¡¯20, because there were no Minor League affiliates playing games. Perhaps it showed: His average fastball velocity dropped to 94.3 mph (from 96.9 mph in 2018, according to Statcast), and he developed some bad mechanical habits that led to a left hamstring strain and a stint on the injured list. The Brewers were unwilling to bet another $5 million-plus that Knebel¡¯s promising finish was sustainable, so they dealt him to the deep-pocketed Dodgers for future considerations.

¡°Look, I didn¡¯t perform the way that I should have performed in 2020, so there¡¯s no reason for the Brewers to want to pay me,¡± Knebel said Wednesday.?¡°I?have nothing but respect for [Brewers president of baseball operations David] Stearns and [GM Matt] Arnold and [manager Craig] Counsell over there. They¡¯ve been great to me and I loved being over there with them. I understand every point of view for this. But like I said, I am very grateful for the Dodgers to give me this opportunity and I¡¯m excited to be over there with them.¡±

Omar Narváez
Wednesday outcome: Signed one-year contract (reportedly worth $2.5 million)
Non-prorated 2020 salary: $2.725 million
Outlook: The Brewers overcame many individual disappointments to sneak into the postseason for the third straight year in 2020, arguably none more disheartening than the performance of Narv¨¢ez, who slashed .176/.294/.269 with a 31 percent strikeout rate -- up from 19.1 percent the year before. But he's back for the one-year deal, according to MLB Network insider Jon Heyman, the terms of which the Brewers have also not confirmed. He still looks like the No. 1 option on the Brewers¡¯ crowded depth chart, with five catchers currently on the 40-man roster and another (Luke Maile) set to join when he passes a physical and inks a one-year deal.

Jace Peterson
Wednesday outcome: Non-tendered
Non-prorated 2020 salary: $563,500
Outlook: Peterson provided some value in a utility role for the Brewers after a midseason promotion in 2020 and reached base at a .393 clip. Even though he was non-tendered, he is the type of player the club covets, and a return is possible.

Manny Piña
Wednesday outcome: Signed one-year contract (reportedly worth $1.65 million)
Non-prorated 2020 salary: $1.85 million
Outlook: Pi?a stood to become the Brewers everyday catcher in light of Narv¨¢ez¡¯s ongoing struggles, but Pi?a sustained a right knee injury that required surgery due to a torn meniscus and it cost him the last month of the 2020 season. He was almost baseball-ready when the Brewers¡¯ season ended with a loss to the Dodgers in the National League Wild Card Series.

Daniel Vogelbach
Wednesday outcome: Signed one-year contract (reportedly $1.4 million)
Non-prorated 2020 salary: $580,900
Outlook: The left-handed slugger came to Milwaukee on waivers and delivered a .987 OPS in 67 late-season plate appearances, a burst of power against right-handed pitching. The question is positional fit; when they acquired Vogelbach, Brewers officials said they viewed him as primarily a designated hitter, and at the moment, there is no guarantee that the DH will remain in the NL in 2021.

¡°The DH is up in the air. We don¡¯t know,¡± Stearns said. ¡°We also understand that we played with the DH last year and we have to be prepared should there be a DH in the National League [in 2021]. We don¡¯t know exactly how that¡¯s going to play out. What we do know is Dan did a tremendous job for us last year and can be a very impactful left-handed bat for us.¡±

Brandon Woodruff
Wednesday outcome: Tendered, remains in arbitration
Non-prorated 2020 salary: $633,100
Outlook: Eligible for arbitration for the first time as a Super Two player, Woodruff is coming off another strong season in which he logged a 3.05 ERA and a career-best 0.99 WHIP. He is expected to lead the rotation again in 2021 alongside another homegrown Brewers starter, Corbin Burnes.
