Brewers Outright Alex Jackson

By Darragh McDonald | December 2, 2022 at 2:30pm CDT

The Brewers have outrighted catcher Alex Jackson, according to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Jackson, 27 later this month, spent time in the majors with the Braves and Marlins prior to this season. Just as the 2022 campaign was about to kick off, the Brewers got the unfortunate news that Pedro Severino had been handed an 80-game suspension for failing a test for performance-enhancing drugs. They suddenly had to scramble to address their catching corps and quickly traded for both Victor Caratini and Jackson. Unfortunately, Jackson dealt with multiple injuries this year and only got into 38 games with just five of those coming at the major league level.

Prospect reports at Baseball America indicate that Jackson’s best tool is his raw power, which shows up in batting practice but rarely in games. He did hit 28 Triple-A home runs in 2019 and then another 11 in just 30 games in 2021. However, in his 66 major league games, he’s gone deep just three times and has a batting line of .141/.243/.227.

There hadn’t been any previous indication that Jackson had been removed from the roster but the club evidently passed him through waivers recently. He’ll remain in the organization as depth but without occupying a spot on the 40-man, which is now down to 37. Hogg notes that Jackson will receive an invite to major league Spring Training. With this move, the Brewers now have three catchers on their roster: Caratini, Payton Henry and Mario Feliciano.

      Poor Alex. I hardly knew ye. In fact, I’ve never heard of you. But good luck anyways.

    I expect this awhile ago but can someone please tell me how Kelley can stay on this roster. Personally I hope we get Jansen and move on from Caratini too. He got his chance as a starter and failed.

      Caratini got a chance to start regularly because Narvy was a) awful and b) injured for a chunk of the season.
      Hes a very good secondary catcher, and some members of the pitching staff seemed to favor him (sorta like they favored Pina).
      There’s zero chance they sign Jansen..I assume you mean the former Dodger/Braves closer. If they didn’t want to fork over $15+ mil for Hader, and are moving other average salaries, they definitely aren’t paying Jansen that kind of coin.

        My bad I meant us trading for Toronto’s Jansen and then shipping out or withdrawing arbitration to Caratini

          My fault. I’m not keeping up like I should, and kenley/kanley (never can remember how it’s spelled) jumped in my head.
          Even if they add a catcher via trade, I think they should hold onto Caratini unless the kid (Feliciano..?) looks good in camp.

          Yeah I could see that too, my thought was if they do get Jansen that with our obsession of saving every cent so far this year. That they would want to save on Caratini money with also having Henry on 40 man roster.

      Yeah, I think they’ll be in on one of those Toronto catchers too. Murphy would be great, but that’s not likely.

      I think I like about 5-10 country songs out of the many thousands that exist.

        I used to think I knew a fair amount about country singers names. Don’t recall an Alex Jackson.

      Well modern country music is so bland and wimpy. Country music needs to get back to its bar fighting, women cheating, beer drinking roots.

    The same Alex Jackson that the Mariners drafted with the 6th overall pick in the 2014 Draft? That 2014 Mariners FO regime (GM Jack Zrudeneick) was infamous for making terrible draft choices- like this one in 2014 where they chose Jackson over Aaron Nola (7th pick) Conforto (10th) Trea Turner (13th) and Matt Chapman (25th)
