Brewers Cut Ties with Luke Voit.
The Milwaukee Brewers have designated first baseman Luke Voit for assignment after he struggled to find his footing in the team, hitting .221/.284/.265 overall and failing to connect on a single home run in 74 trips to the plate. Meanwhile, reliever Alex Claudio has been outrighted to Triple-A Nashville after going unclaimed on waivers. The Brewers have a week to explore the trade market for Voit, who surpassed five years of major league service this season and has the right to decline a minor league assignment in favor of free agency while still collecting his entire guaranteed salary if he goes unclaimed.
