The Milwaukee Brewers added Joakim Soria and Mike Moustakas just before the trade deadline this past season. Outside of their abilities on the field, part of their intrigue stemmed from a potential extra year in the organization. However, since both players had options for the 2019 season, there was no guarantee they’d be back for next season. In both of these cases, the option was turned down by one of the parties, allowing both mid-season acquisitions to enter free agency.
3B Mike Moustakas and RHP Joakim Soria have elected free agency. Both had mutual options.
