Monte Harrison - Links on with Milwaukee Harrison agreed Monday with the Brewers on a minor-league contract and received an invitation to MLB spring training, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact It's a return to the Brewers' organization for Harrison, as he was drafted by Milwaukee in the second round of the 2014 MLB Draft. The 27-year-old had a brief run in the majors last year with the Angels and had short big-league stints with the Marlins in 2020 and 2021, compiling a .176/.253/.294 slash line with a 48.7 percent strikeout rate in 76 MLB plate appearances. Harrison will likely be organizational depth for the Brew Crew, and the bulk of his playing time should come with Triple-A Nashville.

Saturday's Transactions BASEBALL Major League Baseball National League MILWAUKEE BREWERS — Signed RHP Colin Rea, CF Skye Bolt to minor league contracts.
JANUARY 28, 2023 • SANDIEGOUNIONTRIBUNE.COM
Colin Rea - Invited to Brewers' camp Rea signed a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Friday and received an invite to major-league spring training, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Rea spent last season in Japan with the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, where he recorded a 3.96 ERA and 1.14 WHIP through 100 frames. The 32-year-old will now likely begin 2023 in Triple-A Nashville, where he found success in 2021 to the tune of a 2.27 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 35.2 innings.
JANUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Skye Bolt - Gets NRI from Crew Bolt signed a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Friday and received an invitation to major-league spring training, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Bolt slashed .326/.385/.526 in Triple-A last season, though he was never able to put it together in the majors, where his numbers dropped to .198/.259/.330 across 116 plate appearances with Oakland. Milwaukee already has plenty of outfield talent at the major-league and minor-league levels, so Bolt will likely serve as organizational depth.

Robert Stock - Inks minors deal with Milwaukee Stock signed a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com.
Impact Stock spent the 2022 season with the Doosan Bears of the Korea Baseball Organization and pitched to an overall 3.60 ERA with 138 strikeouts (and 83 walks) in 29 starts covering 165 innings. Control problems plagued him throughout his time in MLB-affiliated ball, and it seems that those issues haven't been fully ironed out yet. The hard-throwing 33-year-old will probably be viewed as organizational bullpen depth by Milwaukee, though he did at least prove in the KBO that he can handle a starter's workload.

Brian Navarreto - Signs with Milwaukee Navarreto signed a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Thursday which includes an invite to major-league spring training, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Navarreto spent the 2022 campaign at Milwaukee's Triple-A level, and he'll return to the organization for 2023. He had a .262/.317/.362 slash line with four home runs in 43 games last season and should serve as organizational catching depth.
JANUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sal Frelick - Invited to big-league camp Frelick has received an invitation to major-league spring training with the Brewers, reports MLB.com's Adam McCalvy.
Impact On track to make his big-league debut at some point during the 2023 season, Frelick will get a chance to put his best foot forward under close watch of Milwaukee's lead decision makers. The 22-year-old top outfield prospect slashed .331/.403/.480 with 11 home runs and 24 stolen bases in 119 games last summer between High-A Wisconsin, Double-A Biloxi and Triple-A Nashville and is one of the organization's top prospects.

Brian Anderson - Expected to play primarily at 3B Anderson told reporters via Zoom on Sunday that he will primarily play third base, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Anderson also said the team has talked to him about playing in the outfield, and also potentially at first base. The former Miami infielder/outfielder signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Brewers after being non-tendered by the Marlins following a disappointing 2022 season where he posted a .657 OPS over 98 games.

Jon Singleton - Loses 40-man spot The Brewers designated Singleton for assignment Monday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact The move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for Brian Anderson, whose one-year deal with Milwaukee became official Monday. The 31-year-old Singleton was added to the Brewers' 40-man roster earlier in the offseason after he slashed .219/.375/.434 with 24 home runs in 134 games with Triple-A Nashville in 2022. The former top prospect will hit waivers, and he could elect free agency if he goes unclaimed.

Jesse Winker - No limitations in camp Winker (neck, knee) has been working out at the Brewers' spring training complex in Arizona and will not face any restrictions at the start of spring training.
Impact Winker is coming back from a minor knee surgery and also an operation on his neck in which he had a herniated disc replaced. The neck injury in particular seemed debilitating, as Winker sunk to a .688 OPS in 2022, but it sounds like he'll head into 2023 with a clean bill of health. The 29-year-old also had a major ballpark upgrade when he was traded from Seattle to Milwaukee over the offseason, giving him a good shot to bounce back this year.
