Brewers Claim Jake Hager

By Steve Adams | May 25, 2021 at 12:47pm CDT

The Brewers announced Tuesday that they’ve claimed infielder/outfielder Jake Hager off waivers from the Mets, who’d designated him for assignment over the weekend. Hager has been assigned to Triple-A Nashville. Milwaukee had space on its 40-man roster, so a corresponding move isn’t necessary.

Hager, 28, made his big league debut with the Mets in 2021, going 1-for-8 in a brief five-game stint. This will be his second stint with the Brewers organization, having spent the 2018-19 seasons with Milwaukee’s Double-A and Triple-A affiliates.

Hager has spent the bulk of his career at shortstop, although he’s begun to diversify his defensive repertoire in recent seasons. The Mets, due in no small part to the rash of injuries they’ve incurred at the big league level, got Hager some work in the outfield corners and even trotted him out to center for one game with their Triple-A affiliate. Hager has just 67 innings of outfield work in his professional career but has ample experience at all four infield positions.

      Because it’s the Mets and they always mess up which players to add/subtract from the roster. Remember in 2019 when Aaron Altherr was up for like 2 months with a BA below .100? It’s what they do. Maybin can go 1-27 and still stay up instead of trying someone else.

        But, they invested a dollar in him. An entire dollar.

      The real question is whether or not he gets rave reviews for his defense. Oh wait, he’s not Peter O’Brien. Never mind, carry on.
