The Milwaukee Brewers have announced a wave of spring training big league roster cuts. Being re-assigned to minor league camp are six position players and three pitchers. There were no surprises among this group, but a pair of top 30 prospects were involved.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Ernesto Martinez Jr. takes batting practice during spring training workouts Monday, February 17, 2025, at American Family Fields of Phoenix in Phoenix, Arizona.
Heading back to minor league camp are:
C David Garcia
OF Jimmy Herron
OF Luis Lara
SS Cooper Pratt
1B Ernesto Martinez Jr
2B/C Anthony Seigler
Among this group of re-assignments, Pratt is the team’s biggest prospect as he is currently ranked third per MLB Pipeline. Lara is the second highest ranked at 21. Neither stood a chance at making the big league team and will either start the 2025 season in High-A or Double-A.
Additionally, Martinez Jr has made some headlines. The 6’6″ lefty has been with the organization since 2017, re-signed with the team during the off-season despite initially entering free agency, and is well known for his ability to do the splits while stretching out for balls at first base.

Pitchers going back to minor league camp are:
LHP Tyler Jay
LHP Thomas Pannone
LHP Bruce Zimmerman
All three of these lefties signed minor league deals with the Brewers this off-season. Jay was actually on the 40-man roster last year and appeared in two games with Milwaukee. Pannone pitched for the Brew Crew in the big leagues in 2023, but split time between the Cubs and Yankees organizations last year. Lastly, Zimmerman is a 30 year old veteran who last appeared in the big leagues in 2023 and this is his first stint with Milwaukee.
More roster cuts will in the future as the team can only carry 26 players on the active roster come Opening Day.
