Tyler Saladino, Cory Spangenberg optioned as Brewers Opening Day roster takes shape

Six days from the season opener against St. Louis, the Brewers have optioned two utility options down to minor league camp as their 25-man roster begins to take shape.

Tyler Saladino and Cory Spangenberg are today’s cuts, meaning the Brewers’ bench to start 2019 is now basically settled:

While Spangenberg did show some good pop in his bat this spring, hitting .244/.277/.489 with 3 home runs and 2 doubles in 45 at-bats, his chance of making the Opening Day roster was effectively ended when the Brewers brought back Mike Moustakas.
