Brewers Sign Pablo Reyes To Minor League Deal

By Mark Polishuk | January 7, 2021 at 11:08am CDT

The Brewers have signed utilityman Pablo Reyes to a minor league contract, according to MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy (Twitter link).  The deal contains an invite to Milwaukee’s big league spring camp.

Reyes didn’t play during the 2020 season due to an 80-game PED suspension issued in February.  He elected to become a free agent after the season, ending a nine-year stint as a member of the Pirates organization.  After initially signing as a minor league free agent with the Bucs in 2012, Reyes hit .278/.351/.421 over 2587 plate appearances in Pittsburgh’s farm system.

This solid bat and the ability to play all over the field (though Reyes was mostly a shortstop and second baseman in the minors) got Reyes a look at the MLB level in both 2018 and 2019.  Debuting with a strong .832 OPS over 63 PA in 2018, Reyes struggled at the plate in 2019, hitting only .203/.274/.322 in 157 plate appearances while also missing about a month of action due to an ankle injury.  Reyes spent much of his time on the Pirates’ active roster as an outfielder.

The Brewers often prioritize multi-positional players, so the Reyes signing gives the team another versatile option to consider heading into Spring Training.  Reyes is a right-handed hitter, which could make it a bit of an uphill battle for him to break camp considering the Brewers already have quite a bit of right-handed depth.

    NL Central starting to remind me of the old Ben Folds Five song, The Battle of Who Could Care Less (about winning).

      Are you referring to the right division? The one that had 4 playoff teams this year?

        While I see your point, let’s remember a few things. Number one, it was easier to get into the playoffs last season than any season ever before, number 2 the Brewers squeaked in with a sub .500 record, and number 3 every NL Central team got knocked out in the first round. And really none of that has any bearing on what the teams in the division have done since the end of the season and every single one of the 4 teams has made moves that put them in worse shape right now than they were in even a few months ago

        And what are any of those teams doing to stay in the playoff hunt? Or better yet even try to improve to run away with a very winnable division?

    Reyes then still has 20 games left on his suspension.

    NL Central is starting to like the NFC East in the NFL: it will come down to who is the best of the worst because someone has to win the division

      Shouldn’t his suspension have been changed to 30 since we had a 60 game season last year. I mean it seems like it would make sense as it woulda have been the same as an 80 game in a 162 game season. If anyone knows this I’d be interested to hear if that happened.

    A few people around Pittsburgh thought they had found something in Reyes after that cameo in 2018, maybe another Josh Harrison-type utility guy. He got some chances in 2019 but the results weren’t good.I’m not sure that Pablo does any one thing well enough to warrant sticking in the majors: Jack of many trades, master of none yet
