Manuel Margot Joins Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers have added free-agent outfielder Manuel Margot on an undisclosed deal, and he was spotted walking through the team's clubhouse at spring training on Friday. Margot was likely added on a minor-league deal to add depth to an already crowded Brewers outfield. The 30-year-old Dominican became a free agent in the offseason when the Minnesota Twins declined his $12 million option for the 2025 season. In his first year with the Twins in 2024, Margot hit .238/.289/.337 with a career-worst .626 OPS, four home runs, 31 RBI, five steals and 37 runs scored in 129 games played. However, he did have a .269 average (10-for-42) with a .713 OPS against left-handed pitchers. Speed is probably his greatest asset, but the fact that he slipped defensively last year won't help his chances of winning an Opening Day roster spot with the Brewers.
