Where are recent ex-Brewers suiting up in spring training?

The machinations of Spring Training have begun across Major League Baseball, and Brewers fans find themselves acclimating to a roster of new names. In case you lost track of where some of your favorite former Brewers ended up. Here's a refresher on those players on active rosters:

2019 Brewers

Chase Anderson (Toronto Blue Jays). Anderson was traded to the Blue Jays in exchange for utility prospect Chad Spanberger.

Jesus Aguilar (Miami Marlins). The first-base revelation in 2018 (35 homers, .890 OPS) fell back to earth in 2019 and was ultimately traded for reliever Jake Faria. Aguilar bounced back slightly with the Rays (.760 OPS in 107 plate appearances) and is now playing for Miami.

Zach Davies (San Diego Padres). The right-hander was part of a trade package that sent Luis Urias and Eric Lauer to the Brewers. He posted a 3.55 ERA and 10-7 record last year.

Mauricio Dubon (San Francisco Giants). The 25-year-old shortstop prospect was dealt last season to the Giants in exchange for Drew Pomeranz and Ray Black. He batted .279 in 104 at-bats last year with San Fran.

Gio Gonzalez (Chicago White Sox). Gonzalez is being held out of camp early with what's being described as a minor shoulder injury. He signed a one-year deal in December.

Trent Grisham (San Diego Padres). The outfielder had a breakout season in the minors and made his big-league debut in 2019, contributing some key moments (although many will remember his error in the Wild Card game). He was traded to the Padres in the package for Eric Lauer and Luis Urias.

Yasmani Grandal (Chicago White Sox). One of the heroes of Milwaukee's 2019 season signed a free-agent deal in the offseason, but he'll miss the first part of camp with a calf injury.

Deolis Guerra (Philadelphia Phillies). You'd be forgiven if you forgot the one game in which Deolis Guerra pitched for the Brewers last year. He was designated for assignment when the Brewers signed David Phelps in late January, and the Phillies claimed Guerra.

Junior Guerra (Arizona Diamondbacks). Guerra has been solid as both a starter and reliever for the Brewers the past four years. The club elected not to tender him a contract for 2020, and Arizona landed him on a one-year deal.

Jeremy Jeffress (Chicago Cubs). One of the top players on the team in 2018, Jeffress struggled in 2019 and was ultimately released, so he'll now attempt a bit of a comeback with the Cubs.

Jordan Lyles (Texas Rangers). Lyles became a steady presence in the 2019 rotation after a mid-season trade, and he parlayed that into a two-year deal with Texas for $16 million.

Mike Moustakas (Cincinnati Reds). The slugging third baseman was one of Milwaukee's top players last year, and the Reds signed him for four years and $64 as part of their substantial re-tooling effort.

Jimmy Nelson (Los Angeles Dodgers). Nelson's trajectory took a sharp turn when he was injured in 2017 in the midst of a breakout season. He missed all of 2018 and couldn't find consistency when he made it back in 2019. The Brewers non-tendered him, and he'll start over with Los Angeles.

Drew Pomeranz (San Diego Padres). The late-season pickup was massive for the Brewers last year (2.39 ERA in 25 games), and he turned that into a four-year, $34 million contract with the Padres.

Cody Ponce (Pittsburgh Pirates). The prospect dealt to Pittsburgh last year for Jordan Lyles, Ponce was added to the 40-man roster following the 2019 season.

Travis Shaw (Toronto Blue Jays). Went from one of the most productive bats in the lineup to a mystifying 2019 and will try to rediscover his swing in Canada.

Troy Stokes (Detroit Tigers). The Brewers lost the minor-league outfielder on waivers to the Tigers in September of last year.

Eric Thames (Washington Nationals). The slugging first baseman with a penchant for big-time home runs has been one of the team's most popular players the last three years. After homering in his last game as a Brewer at Nationals Park, he'll now call that venue his permanent home.

2018 Brewers

Ji-Man Choi (Tampa Bay Rays). Picked up by the Rays in 2018, Choi had a decent 2019 with an .822 OPS and 19 homers in 127 games.

Oliver Drake (Tampa Bay Rays). Drake pitched for four other teams aside from Milwaukee in 2018 but spent all of last year with the Rays, going 5-2 with a 3.21 ERA.

Jorge Lopez (Kansas City Royals). Traded in the deal that brought Mike Moustakas to Milwaukee in 2018, Lopez went 4-0 with a 6.33 ERA last year.

Wade Miley (Cincinnati Reds). Milwaukee let Miley go after an excellent 2018 (5-2, 2.57 ERA), and he wound up contributing to the Astros for most of 2019, finishing 14-6 with a 3.98 ERA. The Reds brought him back to the National League on a one-year deal.

Brett Phillips (Kansas City Royals). The popular outfielder was dealt to KC in the 2018 trade that brought Mike Moustakas to Milwaukee, and he only saw 65 at-bats in the big leagues in 2019 (batting .138 with two homers). But he did have a productive year at the plate in the minors and continues to demonstrate elite defensive ability, so he should still get a fair shot in 2020 with a struggling Royals team.

Domingo Santana (Cleveland Indians). Santana officially signed Feb. 14 after he put up solid numbers in Seattle, including a torrid start to the 2019 season. But he finished with 164 strikeouts in 451 at-bats, and despite 21 homers and a respectable .329 OBP, it took a while for him to land a job. He was with the Brewers from mid-2015 to 2018, with his best season coming in 2017 (.875 OPS, 30 homers).

Jonathan Schoop (Detroit Tigers). The midseason acquisition struggled for the Brewers in 2018, and though he bounced back with Minnesota last year (.777 OPS, 23 homers in 121 games), he signed a one-year deal with the Tigers worth $6.1 million.

Joakim Soria (Oakland Athletics). The midseason acquisition in 2018 went 2-4 with a 4.30 ERA for the A's last year.

Jonathan Villar (Miami Marlins). Villar, who started the 2018 season with the Brewers and was ultimately traded in the deal that brought Jonathan Schoop to Milwaukee, hit 24 homers with Baltimore last year and played in all 162 games, finishing with a strong .792 OPS. He was traded to Miami and could play third base or center field this season.

Stephen Vogt (Arizona Diamondbacks). There was a time when it appeared injuries would derail his career, and he couldn't play all of 2018 with the Brewers. But he bounced back in 2019 and batted .263 for the Giants with a respectable .804 OPS, and he signed a one-year deal with Arizona.

Others you'll remember

All the guys Milwaukee traded for Christian Yelich (Miami Marlins). There are so many ex-Brewers playing for the Marlins this year, and you can expect to see a lot of the players who were traded from Milwaukee in the 2018 Christian Yelich deal. Lewis Brinson will still get a shot to start in center field despite a tough 2018 and 2019. Isan Diaz struggled a bit in his big league debut last year (.173 BA, .566 OPS in 201 plate appearances), but he'll get a shot to play second base. Jordan Yamammoto opened his career with a bang last year before finishing the season with a 4-5 record and 4.46 ERA in 15 starts. Monte Harrison could also see the big-league roster as a member of Miami's outfield this year.

Michael Brantley (Houston Astros). The prospect traded away in the CC Sabathia deal back in 2008 fashioned a superb career with the Cleveland Indians, then continued that success with the Astros last year, when he posted an .875 OPS. This will be his 12th MLB season.

Garrett Cooper (Miami Marlins). The former Brewers prospect, traded in 2017 to the Yankees for reliever Tyler Webb (who's now with the Cardinals), had a great 2019 in his first opportunity at meaningful playing time, with a .791 OPS and 15 homers. It'll be his third year with the Marlins.

Nelson Cruz (Minnesota Twins). Brewers fans lament the loss of Cruz, 39, more than any other prospect. Traded in 2006 as part of a package that sent Carlos Lee to Texas, Cruz is now coming up on his 15th full big-league season. Last year, he posted a 1.031 OPS — a career best — in 120 games, with 41 homers. He's made six All-Star teams in his career. Standard caveat: he was designated for assignment by Texas in 2008 and nobody claimed him off waivers, so it wasn't just the Brewers who missed their shot with Cruz.

Khris Davis (Oakland Athletics). After famously hitting exactly .247 for four years in a row (first with Milwaukee in 2015, then the next three years with the A's), he dipped to .220 last year and hit just 23 homers after three straight 40-bomb seasons.

Mike Fiers (Oakland Athletics). He's been front and center as the guy who blew the whistle on Houston's cheating methods. Meanwhile, he's about to enter his second full season with Oakland after going 15-4 with a 3.90 ERA last year. He was traded to the A's late in 2018 from the Tigers.

Zack Greinke (Houston Astros). The prize of the trade deadline last year is still in Houston, coming off a year when he went 18-5 between the Diamondbacks and Astros, with a 2.93 ERA in his age-35 year.

Mitch Haniger (Seattle Mariners). The former Brewers prospect had a massive breakout year in 2018, making the All-Star team, but injury drastically limited his 2019, and now he's out for at least the first month of 2020 after having core-muscle surgery.

Brandon Kintzler (Miami Marlins). Kintzler, a Brewer for six seasons from 2010 to 2015, has been with the Cubs the past two years and put together a strong 2018 (3-3, 2.68 ERA). He's on a one-year, $3.25 million deal.

Martin Maldonado (Houston Astros). The 33-year-old saw action with three teams last year, including the Cubs, but he wound up back in Houston (where he saw time in 2008) and will be in camp again with the Astros.

Jake Odorizzi (Minnesota Twins). The former prospect once dealt away in the Kansas City trade that landed Zack Greinke has fashioned a solid big-league career. This will be his ninth big-league season after going 15-7 with a 3.51 ERA last year.

Jean Segura (Philadelphia Phillies). The 2018 All-Star with Seattle finished with a .280 batting average and .743 OPS with Philadelphia last year, a tick below his previous three years in the league. He'll be the Phillies second baseman this season.

Will Smith (Atlanta Braves). Smith, traded to San Francisco at the trade deadline in 2016, had an All-Star season with the Giants and signed a three-year, $40 million deal with the Braves.

Wisconsinites to watch

J.P. Feyereisen (Milwaukee Brewers). The River Falls native joined the Brewers organization late last season and could see some action in the bullpen this year. He hasn't yet pitched in the big leagues.

Danny Jansen (Toronto Blue Jays). The Appleton native batted .207 with a .640 OPS in 107 games with the Bluye Jays -- his first full season in the big leagues. He also hit 13 home runs.

Gavin Lux (Los Angeles Dodgers). The Kenosha native was named Baseball America's minor league player of the year, and he made a late-season splash that gave him a spot on the playoff roster (where he became the youngest Dodgers player ever to hit a postseason home run). There's a lot of interest to see where it goes from here.

Jordan Zimmermann (Detroit Tigers). The Auburndale native is trying to bounce back after a brutal 2019 (1-13, 6.91 ERA in 23 games). He'll be in the fifth and final year of his $110-million free-agent deal.

These guys are still free agents
