Leaving the sinking ship that was the 2018 version of the Baltimore Orioles and coming to a team that was one game from going to the World Series evidently broke Jonathan Schoop’s heart. Schoop indicated that he “never got comfortable” as a Brewer. If on-the-field performance is an indication of a broken heart, it certainly showed. During his two months with the Brewers, he slashed .202/.246/.331. He had an OPS+ of 53! What was obviously thought to be the bridge to Keston Hiura was a dismal failure in Milwaukee.
His poor play with the Brew Crew led to David Stearns non-tendering the former All-Star.
