The Milwaukee Brewers have agreed to a one year, $2 million non-guaranteed deal with shortstop Orlando Arcia according to Robert Murray. The new contract is a $200,000 discount from Arcia’s 2020 payday.
In 2020, Arcia showed a mark offensive improvement in his 189 at-bats, going from worst regular hitter in baseball to average for shortstops. He slashed .260/.317/.416 in 59 games with five homers. Despite the performance, he’s still just a replacement player according to his 0.0 bWAR. The 0 WAR is largely because of his -5 DRS.
Arcia has been on the roster bubble the last two seasons.
