Josh Donaldson may have a landing spot in a pennant race.
.
Donaldson was released by the Yankees earlier this week after being an anemic hitter the last two seasons.“Basically just felt like it was the right thing to do,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone“Give him the option, or the possibility, of even catching on with someone. Just felt like it was the right thing to do that now as opposed to continuing to drag it out.”The Brewers are reportedly ‘considering’ bringing in Yankees cast-off Josh Donaldson.
One other reason the Brewers might consider this move is if they believe Donaldson is an upgrade over Monastario in the field, as Milwaukee is a team built all the way around for run prevention, from starting pitching to the bullpen to fielding prowess. There is also a general theory in baseball that sometimes players struggle in pressure cooker environments like New York, Philadelphia, or Boston and can salvage their careers in less intense fan and media markets.
The Yankees are eating Donaldson’s contract, so whoever signs him would only owe him the prorated portion of the veteran’s minimum for the rest of the season.
