Adrian Houser will have an extra option for the 2019 season. This means that he can be ‘optioned’ back to the Minor Leagues without having to clear waivers. It also means that he’s going to spend the 2019 season with the Milwaukee Brewers organization. But could he end up destined for more this year?
What is an option and why did Houser get an extra?
Every player on the 40-man roster is given three option years. This means that they can go from the Major League roster to the Minors without being exposed to waivers, and is especially important for players on the roster bubble or at the beginning of their career.
