The Milwaukee Brewers non-tendered second baseman Jonathan Schoop and relief pitchers Xavier Cedeno and Dan Jennings on Friday, making them free agents. Schoop was an All-Star in 2017 when he hit a career-high 32 home runs with the Orioles, but he fell flat after his trade to Milwaukee and hit just .233 with 21 homers on the season. Hernan Perez could open 2019 as the primary second baseman for the Brew Crew. Cedeno and Jennings are both lefty relievers that had solid seasons in 2018. They should latch on elsewhere quickly.
The Milwaukee Brewers acquired relief pitcher Xavier Cedeno from the Chicago White Sox on Friday, according to sources. While Cedeno isn't expected to be in the mix for saves with his new team, the left-hander is a valuable acquisition as a setup man with the Brewers fighting for a playoff spot. Cedeno has a 2.84 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 28 strikeouts in 25 1/3 innings in 2018.
Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Xavier Cedeno picked up his first save of the season on Tuesday versus the Tigers. The White Sox have had four saves go to four different pitchers since Joakim Soria was dealt. The White Sox closer situation is one to avoid in all formats as they dont have a clear closer at the moment.
