Brewers Release Alex Wilson

By Dylan A. Chase | August 3, 2019 at 6:49pm CDT

According to an announcement from Milwaukee’s Player Development Department, the Brewers have released veteran reliever Alex Wilson. The 32-year-old had been playing with Triple-A San Antonio since being outrighted back in May.

Details are scarce on the circumstances surrounding Wilson’s release. Though he was torched 11.1 innings with Milwaukee early in the year, he had been apparently healthy and generally effective during his time in San Antonio. Through 38.0 innings, the righty had logged a sparkly 2.13 ERA–even if that marker’s shine concealed a grimy FIP of 5.46.

It will be interesting to see if contenders in search of bullpen help will come nibbling around Wilson’s name. After all, the Saudi Arabia-born Wilson is not too far removed from several years as a mainstay in the Detroit bullpen: over four Motor City seasons, he logged a combined 3.20 ERA with a 5.8 K/9 mark and a 2.1 BB/9 average. Veteran free agents like Wilson represent one of the few ways in which teams can hope to upgrade their rosters past the trade deadline nowadays, so it would not be shocking to see his name resurface in the coming weeks.

    Watch LA sign him to a minor league deal. He seems like a candidate for their restructuring program.

    You know think there is couple a few more guys we can move on from. Still try to win but let’s see more young guys given a chance. Sometimes young guys with heart can be a lot better then half talent.

    I’d like to see the Red Sox take a flier on him… if for nothing else other than to show the players they have a little faith in them. After the trade deadline Dave Drombrowski said something along the lines of “well we approached it differently because we’re just going for the wild card and not the division…” which seemingly hasn’t sat well with the players in the clubhouse (the Sox have also now lost 6-straight… not that that’s the reason why) BUT if it truly has had an impact on the attitude in the clubhouse why not sign a guy like this to see what he can do?

    I think you mean ‘sparkling ERA’, not ‘sparkly ERA’.

    The nincomboob Al Avila has brought VerHagen back 3 times from the junkyard.

    Why not Alex Wilson? Did he refuse? He’s just as dreadful as any other useless Avila Special. Suits all the requisite Avila/Ilitch purposes such as drawing a minimum salary with no chance of being any good

    Not the greatest era in Tigerdom.
