Recently the Milwaukee Brewers signed catcher Luke Maile to a big league contract. The Brewers also signed Omar Narvaez and Manny Pina prior to the non-tender deadline. Right now Jacob Nottingham and David Freitas are still on the 40-man roster. Thus, Milwaukee has a lot of catchers. The value Maile brings that Nottingham and Freitas do not is a minor league option and perhaps a better defensive profile.
When we think about what to expect from Luke Maile, it begins there. With the minor league option, Maile becomes a solid depth piece.
