Yesterday, the Brewers made some minor announcements, formally inviting farmhands INF Hernan Perez and SP Hiram Burgos to the team’s 2016 Big League Spring Training camp. They also extended an invitation to newcomer Rene Garcia, a 25-year-old catcher who spent 2015 in the Phillies system.
Perez was outrighted to the Sky Sox earlier this month, making him a free agent, but re-signed with the team earlier this week. Perez was the Brewers’ primary third baseman after the departure of Aramis Ramirez, brought in from the Tigers via waivers.
With the Crew, Perez slashed .270/.281/.365 while seeing time at each infield position.
