Brewers sign Saenz to minor league deal and invites him to Spring Training
Today general manager Doug Melvin announced that the Brewers had signed Chris Saenz to a minor league deal that would last through 2005.
Two weeks ago, the Brewers had a choice to sign Saenz to a deal and tender him, but elected to make him a free agent so that they could get him cheaper in a few weeks.
Melvin said that fans could expect minor deals like these up to spring training, but never count anything out.
Last year, with injury problems on the pitching staff, Saenz was called up from AA Huntsville and pitched a gem in his one major league start.
“At only 23 years old, he has super potential to do well in a Brewer uniform,” said Minor League Director Reid Nichols.
