as the brewers embark on their first road trip of the 2021 championship season, they are allowed to bring up to five players from the alternate training site roster as a taxi squad. if they bring five, at least one of them must be a catcher, and he may serve as a bullpen catcher during the road trip. taxi squad players may work out with the club, but are not allowed in uniform or in the dugout during games.

 

last year, the brewers were quite secretive about their taxi squads, but observant fans might be able to compile a list of the players on each taxi squad (it may change from road trip to road trip). please report here if player sightings are confirmed.

so, this begs the question . . . was brad boxberger in chicago yesterday with a taxi squad, or is he coming down from the temporary alternate training site in milwaukee because there was no taxi squad?

 

if it's the former, is someone else coming down from milwaukee to replace him on the taxi squad?

Has a reporter ever asked and denied access to who is in this group?
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

it's time for taxi squad 2.0. if you see reports of a non-roster player in san diego, or a non-roster player conspicuously absent from the alternate training site in grand chute, please report here.

 

Grand Chute? Is that code for Appleton?

presumably, with the minor league season starting tuesday, mlb clubs will no longer be carrying taxi squads on road trips.

 

notable in that the brewers fly to philadelphia after today's game to start a seven game roadtrip.

the brewers will be placing three players on the special covid-19 injured list. two roster spots will be filled by the activation of john curtiss and daniel norris.

 

the third vacancy will not be filled, which means no taxi squad on this road trip.
