The Brewers reportedly made a minor signing a couple of weeks into their offseason, as the Schaumburg Boomers announced on Monday that Milwaukee signed left-handed reliever Darrell Thompson to a contract.
This will be Thompson’s first opportunity in affiliated baseball after six seasons of playing in various independent leagues. He began his professional career with stops in the Pecos League and the American Association and has spent the last four seasons with the Boomers, who play as a member of the Frontier League.
Thompson has posted a 3.44 ERA with a 30.5% strikeout rate as a professional.
