Even at the time that the Milwaukee Brewers acquired Jonathan Schoop from the Baltimore Orioles at the July 31st trade deadline, many found it to be a peculiar move.
But GM David Stearns made it clear that he was looking to add offense to this Brewers lineup. Unfortunately, Schoop’s time as a Brewer never panned out as originally expected.
Jonathan Schoop as a Brewer
As a Brewer Schoop posted a slash line of .202/.246/.331 with an OPS of just .557, a far cry from his .244 average in Baltimore and .720 OPS.
This left Stearns and the Milwaukee Brewers with a very difficult decision to make this offseason on whether or not to bring Schoop back for 2019.
