Travis Shaw returns to Milwaukee Brewers with minor-league contract
Travis Shaw is back in Milwaukee to give the Brewers one more option for their unsettled situation at third base.
The Brewers announced Tuesday that Shaw has signed a minor league contract that includes an invitation to major league camp.
“I think he fits into a need that we have,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. “He has an opportunity to earn something. That’s how it was presented to Travis, and I think that’s what excited him about the opportunity.”
If added to the 40-man roster, Shaw would get a one-year contract paying $1.5 million while in the major leagues and $250,000 while in the minors.
If not added to the roster by March 15, Shaw would be released unless put on within 72 hours of a formal request.
Shaw, who turns 31 on April 16, last played for the Brewers from 2017-19.
