The Milwaukee Brewers’ spring training is begun, and one prominent storyline has been Sal Frelick’s experimentation as an infielder. He trained with Boston Red Sox legend Dustin Pedroia this offseason and was essentially labeled as “ready” by the four-time gold glove winner.
We’ve seen snippets of Frelick’s performance at second and third base via Brewers media staff and reporters. Some films have given fans optimism that he may succeed as an infielder, although he has yet to appear in a game.
When will Sal Frelick make his infield debut? Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy confirmed his debut date.
According to Pat Murphy, we will not have to wait long to see Sal Frelick play infield. The Brewers’ first spring training game, against the San Diego Padres, is on Saturday, February 24, and Frelick will play in dirt. It’s uncertain how many innings he’ll play, but this should give us a better idea of how he looks in game conditions.
Unfortunately, the Brewers’ first spring training game on February 24 will not be televised. Fans will be able to watch eight games on TV this spring. The whole television schedule can be found by clicking here.
Milwaukee Brewers Last Second Persuasion Lured Brandon Woodruff Away From Signing With 1 Other Team
Brandon Woodruff, who is currently sidelined, has returned to the Milwaukee Brewers on a guaranteed two-year, $17.5 million contract. There is a mutual option for a third year, which would boost the contract’s total value to $27.5 million, and his deal includes a full no-trade clause. This appears to be a win-win for both sides, as Woodruff receives financial stability while recovering from shoulder surgery, while Milwaukee retains a homegrown ace at an affordable price.
Brandon Woodruff indicated that he nearly signed with another team.
Brandon Woodruff was made accessible to the media via Zoom meeting once the agreement was finalized. During the conversation, he stated that he almost signed with another team. The team he almost signed with was not revealed.
“Quite a few teams stayed in it till the end. I was about to sign there at the end, but the Brewers came in right at the last second, which is how it happened.”
