Checking in on the Milwaukee Brewers' recent minor league signings

Depth additions made throughout the season are key for every team in Major League Baseball with hopes of making a playoff push. The Milwaukee Brewers are no different.

The Brewers have dealt with offseason losses and a number of injuries through the 2025 season, but have managed to stay afloat with a 29-28 record. Along the way, the organization has brought in some well-known players with a history of big league success on minor league deals. Some of those deals are actually working out quite nicely and could have an impact in Milwaukee before too long.

Bobby Dalbec has been solid, but not head-turning in his time with the Nashville Sounds

The Brewers signed Bobby Dalbec to a minor league deal on May 10 after he was designated for assignment by the Chicago White Sox and opted for free agency. Dalbec hit .222/.333/.278 over 21 plate appearances in the big leagues this year and was assigned to Triple-A.

In 13 games with the Nashville Sounds, Dalbec is hitting .255 with a .705 OPS. He was destroying pitching when he was in Triple-A with the White Sox, but hasn't been as impressive since joining the Brewers' organization. That being said, it's a small sample size, and Dalbec does have four extra-base hits and 11 RBIs in his brief time with the Sounds.

Dalbec has primarily been a first baseman throughout his professional baseball career. However, a majority of his starts in Nashville have come in right field. With the Brewers already down Blake Perkins and Garrett Mitchell, and rostering an underperforming Daz Cameron, it's possible Dalbec gets a shot with the big-league club as a corner outfielder.

Eddie Rosario impressive start in the Brewers' organization highlighted by walk-off single last weekend

The Brewers signed former NLCS MVP Eddie Rosario to a minor league contract a few weeks ago. Eight games into his stint with the Nashville Sounds, Rosario has an .848 OPS, with three extra-base hits, six walks, and six RBI. Additionally, he drove a walk-off single off the top of the wall in the 11th inning last week.

Rosario has appeared in big league games for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves this season, but has not been given much opportunity at the plate. Meanwhile, in Triple-A for the Dodgers, he was hitting .339 with an OPS of .948. I still think Rosario could be a quality big league bench bat and defensive replacement in the outfield.

We also should not forget that Rosario has a ton of playoff experience. He has over 100 career plate appearances in the postseason. He holds a career OPS of .865 in the playoffs and was instrumental to the Braves’ World Series run in 2021. That experience could certainly come in handy if the Brewers need an outfielder to help them in a playoff push later in the year.
