Milwaukee Brewers
MILWAUKEE, WI (WSAU) – The Milwaukee Brewers and veteran outfielder Manuel Margot have agreed to a minor league deal that will include an invite to spring training.
The signing was first reported by Milwaukee Journal Sentinel beat writer Todd Rosiak, who states that Margot will undergo a physical today to finalize the deal.
After being moved twice in the 2023–24 offseason, first from Tampa Bay to the Dodgers and then from Los Angeles to Minnesota, Margot, 30, played for the Twins in 2024 hitting .238 and just four home runs in 315 at-bats. He began his MLB career after being signed as an international prospect by the Boston Red Sox in 2011 and was the Tampa Rays recipient of the Heart and Hustle Award by the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association in 2023.
Margot is expected to provide the Brewers with veteran outfield depth in case of an injury, as Milwaukee is expected to allow former top prospects Jackson Chourio, Sal Frelick, and Garrett Mitchell to get most of the playing time this upcoming season, and Christian Yelich will likely see at-bats at designated hitter in 2025.
