On Tuesday afternoon, the Brewers announced through their player development Twitter account that they have signed pitcher José Ureña to a minor-league contract.
Despite it being announced as a minor-league deal, it is effectively a workaround major-league contract. The Brewers immediately selected Ureña to their 40-man roster on Wednesday morning.
The 30-year-old spent the first six years of his career with the Miami Marlins before latching on with the Detroit Tigers last season. In 26 games with the Tigers, he posted a 5.81 ERA and 5.02 FIP in 100 innings.
