Brewers Designate Aaron Brooks, Select Quintin Berry

By Jeff Todd | September 5, 2017 at 10:47am CDT

The Brewers have designated righty Aaron Brooks for assignment, per a club announcement. His 40-man spot will go to outfielder Quintin Berry, whose contract was selected.

Brooks, 27, was claimed off waivers recently from the Cubs. He has not pitched in the majors since brief showings with the Royals and Athletics in 2014 and 2015. Over 145 2/3 Triple-A innings in 2017, Brooks has been tagged for 29 long balls and 192 hits and carries a 6.12 ERA with 6.6 K/9 against 1.8 BB/9.

In Berry, the Brewers will be adding a notable speed-and-defense option to their bench down the stretch. The 32-year-old has played little this year in the minors and last cracked the majors briefly in 2015. But he’s a popular late-season roster addition and has appeared in the postseason previously (in 2012 with the Tigers and in 2013 with the Red Sox).

    He’s older but if the speed is still there, a solid roster move.

    Very solid! Awesome player. So good he hasn’t played in the bigs since 2015. But solid roster move.

      Solid move if the person removed from the 40 man roster will clear waivers or had no likely future with the club. All teams should have bench speed or defensive oriented players that might be able to “steal” a win down the stretch.

      He’s gotta have something going for him if contendersare always picking him up around this time of year. I think he was with the cubs too in 2015
