MILWAUKEE - Jake Bauers and the Milwaukee Brewers agreed Monday, Jan. 6 to a minor league contract, and the first baseman will report to major league spring training. Bauers became a free agent on Nov. 4 when he refused an outright assignment by the Brewers to Triple-A Nashville.

The 29-year-old hit .199 with a .301 on-base percentage, 12 homers, 43 RBIs and 13 stolen bases in 116 games and 346 plate appearances for Milwaukee last season.

In exchange for Bauers last year, the Yankees acquired minor-league outfielders Jace Avina and Brian Sánchez. The Padres selected Bauers in the seventh round of the 2013 draft and he was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays the following year. He spent time with Cleveland, Seattle and Cincinnati before the Reds traded him to the Yankees in 2022.
