Stephen Vogt came to the Milwaukee Brewers when he was selected off waivers in the middle of the 2017 season. He signed a one-year deal after the 2017 season, and still has a year of arbitration eligibility left. However, that really doesn’t matter now because Vogt is a free agent.
Vogt spent the entire 2018 season on the 60-day DL. In a procedural move, the Brewers activated Vogt off the 60-day DL, and outrighted him. Vogt had the choice of becoming a free agent, or taking a Minor League assignment. He elected to become a free agent.
