Brewers sign RP Brad Boxberger to minor league deal


brad boxberger has been released and is now a free agent. the brewers avoided paying boxberger a $100,000 retention bonus to ensure that he remained in the organization on a minor league deal.

 

boxberger is free to negotiate a major or minor league deal with any club--including the brewers.

brad boxberger will have his contract selected and will be on the 26-man roster. a corresponding move on the 40-man is needed.

Really? Wouldn't Orlando Arcia's removal from the 40-man take care of that?

 

I suppose they could move Topa to the 60-day IL too.

transferring topa is what they did. the brewers acquired two players on optional assignment with the braves, and only one spot was open at the time (most recently vacated by the outright assignment of ray black).

I think if he can hold down the 7ths (like I expected when this minor league signing was announced), this is a great move.

 

Agreed!

 

I love the thought of Boxberger, Williams, Hader closing out leads!
