The writing was on the wall when the Milwaukee Brewers declined to offer Jared Hughes a contract for the 2018 season. It’s not unheard of for teams to re-sign players after releasing them, but in this case it was obvious Hughes wouldn’t return to Milwaukee.
How did Hughes do with the Brewers?
Hughes only lasted a single season with the Brewers. He appeared in 67 games and logged a 3.02 ERA. He struck out 48, and walked 24 while giving up four homers. Hughes did manage to steal a save, and picked up five wins in relief.
