"Brewers Assign Eric Haase to Triple-A Nashville After Clearing Waivers"

Eric Haase, a catcher/outfielder, cleared waivers after being designated for assignment by the Brewers and has been assigned outright to Triple-A Nashville. Despite a strong performance in spring training, Haase went unclaimed on waivers, likely due to his contract and a down year in 2023. He will serve as a depth option for the Brewers in Triple-A and has the option to reject the assignment in favor of free agency, albeit at the cost of potential earnings.

"Brewers Finalize Roster with Designation of Eric Haase and Recall of Oliver Dunn"

Despite an impressive spring training performance, catcher Eric Haase has been designated for assignment by the Brewers due to the team's decision to carry William Contreras and Gary Sanchez as its two catchers. Haase's outstanding performance in camp made the decision difficult for the Brewers, but the team ultimately opted to go with other options. With his outfield experience, Haase could attract interest from catching-needy clubs like the Rays and Marlins as he now faces the possibility of being traded, passing through outright waivers, or released within the next seven days.

Milwaukee Brewers ink former Tigers catcher Eric Haase to one-year deal

The Milwaukee Brewers have signed Eric Haase to a one-year contract as their backup catcher. Haase, with 323 games of major-league experience, hit .201 with four home runs and 26 RBIs in 89 games last season. Defensively, he rated slightly below average in pitch framing and threw out 24% of base stealers. The Brewers have a track record of improving catchers' skills. Haase also brings versatility, having started games in left field and as a designated hitter. The signing fills the void left by Victor Caratini's departure, and top prospect Jeferson Quero is not expected to reach the majors until 2025.

Tigers Release Eric Haase, Sign Carson Kelly

The Detroit Tigers have designated catcher/outfielder Eric Haase for assignment due to his poor performance at the plate this season, signing former Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly as his replacement. Haase struggled with a .201 batting average and four home runs, while Kelly also had a subpar offensive season. Haase's defensive skills also fell short, leading to his departure from the team. The Tigers hope Kelly can serve as a backup to Jake Rogers for the remainder of the season.
