Brewers Designate Jacob Barnes For Assignment

By Mark Polishuk | August 1, 2019 at 1:18pm CDT

The Brewers announced a series of roster moves today, including the selection of outfield prospect Trent Grisham’s contract from Triple-A.  In addition to Grisham making his Major League debut, right-hander Jacob Barnes was designated to assignment to create a 40-man roster spot.  (Righty Taylor Williams and utilityman Tyler Saladino were also optioned to Triple-A.)

After posting some solid numbers out of Milwaukee’s pen in 2017-18, Barnes has struggled this year, resulting in a series of shuttles between Triple-A and the majors.  The 29-year-old has a 6.86 ERA, 10.1 K/9, and 2.00 K/BB rate over 19 2/3 innings for the Brew Crew this season, with increases in his walk and homer rate both influencing that ungainly ERA.

      Taylor has options left. Barnes didn’t otherwise he would have been demoted to AAA as well.

    The Pirates have enough driftwood on their 40 man roster and plenty of time to give auditions, they should be claiming guys like this.

      Barnes? You must not have seen him pitch, or you really hate the Pirates.

        If I have I have no recollection of it, but…

        Have you seen Dovydos Neverauskus? Because I have seen enough of him.

        Actually, I just looked at Barnes’ numbers vs Neverauskaus’….yes, I’d absolutely claim Barnes and DFA Neverauskus. Barnes seemed decent before this year.

          If you believe in “clutch” factors, Barnes’ would be -100000. Sure his numbers have looked OK in the past, but he would ALWAYS give up the big runs and pitch well when it didn’t matter. I’m sure any Brewers fan would agree, right guys?

          Yes, an all star when becomes by 5 runs, destroyed when ahead. Right on.

    Pomeranz also added to the 25-man roster, not sure who got bounced.

    Oh jeez, does that make moustakas or shaw the back up at shortstop now? This train is held together with shoestrings and spit, it could implode in spectacular fashion or win the division, just nuts.

    Another guy id like the braves to get on a minor league deal …. Barnes is a good example how a bullpen pitcher can flip for the worse quick. Hence why I don’t love trading away top prospects for decent bullpen guys. But I’m starting to be ok with it
