Sullivan, claimed by the Brewers in the fall of ‘21, traded with Korry Howell for Victor Caratini in the spring of ‘22, never played for the big league Brewers nor an affiliate. Still happy for the “phantom Brewer”.

04/29/23 Biloxi Shuckers placed CF Lamar Sparks on the 7-day injured list. 04/30/23 Nashville Sounds placed CF Skye Bolt on the 7-day injured list. Via Adam McCalvy - Skye Bolt injured his left quad and is expected to miss 2-3 weeks.

All 13 players previously noted in this thread: Five of the players had their brief careers documented in earlier posts here. If you missed them, click on the respective link: RHP Royer Cabrera C Darlin Lora and CF Eduarh Colina RHP Pedro Rivas RHP Mario Perez Now for the eight others: UT Jose Pena, out of the Dominican Republic, turned 18 in February. He is listed as a RHP in the tweet above, but in his lone season in the DSL last summer, he served in a position player utility role. Pena proved to be overmatched at the plate, striking out 62 times in 101 AB's. He reached 19 times via BB / HBP but a .139 batting average with three doubles makes him the rare signee not being given a second year in the system. Pena signed for $230,000, the 7th largest bonus in the 2022 class. RHP Reybert Reyes, signed out of Venezuela, turned 20 years old this past January. In January of 2022, the Brewers assigned 20 players a $10,000 signing bonus. However, if you look at the linked 2022 class list above, you'll find Reyes at the very end signing for $5,000. Odd, as signings at $10,000 do not count against the bonus pool. The tall (6'3") Reyes made 11 relief appearances in his lone DSL season, fanned 11, walked 11, plunked another eight batters, and finished with a 9.49 ERA in the smallish 12.1 inning sample. RHP Franddy De Los Santos was signed last March, a couple of weeks after his 18th birthday. The Dominican native would have been a short-dollar signing at that point. De Los Santos' WHIP was 3.00 after his 11 relief appearances with a 13.91 ERA and 23 BB's, 4 HBP's in just 11 innings. Sometimes the numbers don't allow for a second year return, though like the other names here, De Los Santos would have had a chance to demonstrate some advancement in camp early in 2023. He is the only "Franddy" in the history of pro baseball. LHP Jhofez Mejias, the only "Jhofez" in pro baseball's annals, turned 19 last October. Signed out of Venezuela, his inclusion on this list is a bit of a surprise, especially as a one-year-and-done player. The sheer number of recent signings and the apparent lack of a second Maryvale team in 2023 is forcing this blitz of releases amid a numbers crunch. The $10,000 signing started three of the 13 games he appeared in, posting a reasonable 4.08 ERA and 1.57 WHIP, fanning 34 in 28.2 innings. The overall lack of southpaws in the Dominican Summer League rosters adds to the surprise impact of this release. C Juan Rosa is a Dominican native who will turn 20 later this month of May. Talk about a short leash. Rosa only signed last August 5th and got to appear in just five DSL games, going 1-for-10 with five K's and no walks. He was behind the plate for four innings total, otherwise was a designated hitter. Congrats on that lone base knock, young man. INF Edgardo Reyes signed for $97,500 in January 2022, the 8th highest bonus of the class. The Venezuelan native posted a .145/.286/.158 line (one extra-base hit, a double, in 76 AB's). He saw action in the field in 25 of his 28 games, all the infield spots except shortstop. INF Luis Watter turned 20 years old this past January. The Dominican native was part of the July 2019 signing class but then had to delay his pro debut until 2021 due to the pandemic. Over the past two summers, Watter posted a .649 OPS and was successful in 21 of 23 stolen base attempts. Watter only slugged .300, but one of his ten XBH's in 230 pro AB's was a home run. Watter had signed for $35,000. He was listed at 5'8", but that was at the time of his contract signing as a 16-year-old. OF Francisco Nina was a $10,000 signing from that January 2022 class. Listed at a lanky 6'5", 175, Nina homered once (four doubles), but otherwise slapped his way to a .212/.301/.271 line (.572 OPS) during his age 17 season. Nina fanned 38 times in 118 AB's with 12 walks, we've seen others with similar lines net a second-chance year, but as mentioned above, that wasn't the case in this round of cuts. As always, we wish all the best and hope that if they wish, they find future baseball opportunities.

Sunday 4/30:Latest Milwaukee Tailgate Podcast - "Talk about where things stand a month into the season, the NL Central race, the injury outlook, the bullpen, and more" Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "One month into the season, the Brewers are 18-10, possessing one of the top three records in the National League. But which parts of this team are real and which parts are just the product of a small sample (perhaps for better or worse)? Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak joins host JR Radcliffe to discuss the team's elite defense, Wade Miley's hot start, Christian Yelich's even deeper struggles at the plate, the surprising NL Central standings and whether Brice Turang and Joey Wiemer will remain on the team all year. Plus, a handful of injury updates, a weekend of Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout in Milwaukee, 'Beat the Cheese,' ejections and a Remembrew When that looks back at another high-profile opponent in 1997." ***Postgame Shows for the Brewers 3-0 snoozer loss vs. the Angels -- WTMJ with Dom Cotroneo: - Craig Coshun is the guestLocked on Brewers with Chuck Freimund - "Offense Rests!!!" There was no Tim Allen broadcast Sunday.

Back on April 4th, the Brewers signed 18-year-old Venezuelan RHP Carlos Maurera. Listed at 6'0", 180, Maurera's been assigned to DSL Brewers 1. Considering it was recently noted the Brewers have pretty much exhausted their international bonus pool, this was likely a $10,000 signing, which does not count against the pool.

Infielder Ethan Murray is the most recent addition to the Biloxi pre-game audio site.

The Tim Allen broadcast includes a chat with Bench Coach (and Manager for a few innings Saturday night) Pat Murphy at the 56:30 minute mark.
