With three catchers on the 40-man roster, Martin Maldonado’s time in Milwaukee may be running out.
With the addition of Andrew Susac yesterday, the Brewers now have three catchers on the active roster. Roles won’t change much for the rest of the season. Martin Maldonado and Manny Pina will split time there, with Susac getting a few starts as well. However, what about going forward beyond 2016? Keeping three catchers on the active roster is not a luxury the Brewers will have, but that’s the potential scenario that the Brewers are facing next year. With Susac likely to get more playing time in the future, and Pina also deserving an extended look in the majors, that leaves Maldonado on the outside looking in.
