On Wednesday, it was announced that the Milwaukee Brewers signed catcher Yasmani Grandal to a one-year, $18.25 million deal. Not only did the Colorado Rockies miss out on a potential upgrade to their catching situation, but they also saw a team that knocked them out of last year’s postseason and will compete with them once again for this season’s race for October improve.
Certainly it was a bit of a stunner to see the Brewers swoop in and grab Grandal on a one-year deal, especially after Grandal had reportedly turned down a longer deal earlier in the offseason.
