Brewers designate Lorenzo Cain for assignment

Lorenzo Cain’s tenure with the Brewers has come to an end. Before today’s game against the Reds, the Brewers officially designated Cain for assignment. As a corresponding move, Jonathan Davis was selected from Nashville.

In the last year of his five-year contract that he signed with the Brewers, Cain’s tenure with the Brewers has been up and down. He started out hot in 2018, earning himself an All-Star selection and a seventh place finish in the MVP vote. 2019 saw some regression, but his defense was still top notch. He earned his only Gold Glove award that year.
