Looks like we're putting off the catching decision. That tells me that it really is a tough decision for them. The tell-tale sign will be who gets the starts in relief of Lucroy until Hart comes back.

There is a discussion thread pertinent to this move re: the catchers on the big league roster here.

Haudricourt:

 

OF Jeremy Reed cleared waivers and accepted outright assignment to Class AAA Nashville. Had the right to declare free agency.

Since Reed came to camp expecting to play in Nashville, it's not a surprise that he'd accept the assignment there less than two weeks into the season rather than shop his services elsewhere.

Haudricourt corrects himself: Reed hasn't decided whether or to accept the assignment.

Finally, the Jeremy Reed Crisis is resolved: Reed has accepted the assignment to Nashville. I know it's been a rough 15 minutes, but you can finally relax, Brewers fans.
