It’s not easy to move on from a player who still has guaranteed years remaining on their contract. It’s even harder to do so when that player comes from an area of a team that needs improvement. Yet that was just the type of move the Milwaukee Brewers made on Wednesday.
The Brewers decided to cut bait early when they designated right-handed pitcher Josh Lindblom for assignment.
