The Brewers outrighted Haase to Triple-A Nashville on Monday after he cleared waivers, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haase could have declined the assignment and become a free agent, but that would have meant forfeiting his $1 million salary. Instead, he will report to Nashville, where he will give the club quality catching depth.

The Brewers designated Haase for assignment Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Haase turned a lot of heads during camp this spring, slashing .395/.465/.868 with five homers and 14 RBI across 43 plate appearances. However, the Brewers didn't want to carry a third catcher behind William Contreras and Gary Sanchez, so the team will instead attempt to pass Haase through waivers. The 31-year-old backstop only managed a .201 average and .528 OPS with the Tigers and Guardians last season, but other organizations may be willing to take a chance on him after his monster spring.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Wednesday in an interview with 97.3 The Game Milwaukee that the team is leaning toward carrying two catchers, which would leave Haase without a roster spot.

EDGE Analysis

Haase has had a terrific spring, but he's a difficult fit on Milwaukee's roster with William Contreras and Gary Sanchez around. The Brewers could draw interest in Haase via trade, but otherwise Milwaukee could try to pass him through waivers and stash him at Triple-A Nashville.

Haase went 15-for-38 (.395) with five home runs, three doubles, 14 RBI, 11 runs and a 5:6 BB:K over 18 games this spring.

EDGE Analysis

Haase joined the Brewers over the offseason after splitting the 2023 campaign with the Tigers and Guardians, and he made just about as good of an impression as he could during the exhibition season. Fellow backstops William Contreras and Gary Sanchez are locked in, the Brewers would need to open the season with three catchers to get Haase onto the 26-man roster. However, given the way he hit this spring, they may opt to do just that.

Haase agreed to a one-year contract with the Brewers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Haase was outrighted off Cleveland's 40-man roster in early December and elected free agency after the season, and he's now found a home for 2024. The 31-year-old also has two years of club control beyond the upcoming campaign. He struggled to a .201/.247/.281 slash line last year but had a .746 OPS across the prior two seasons. Haase should serve as Milwaukee's No. 2 catcher behind starter William Contreras.

Haase elected to become a free agent Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Haase tallied 36 home runs in 208 games for the Tigers between the 2021-2022 seasons, but the 30-year-old catcher and corner outfielder stumbled to a .201/.247/.281 batting line across 293 major-league plate appearances in 2023.

Haase cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Haase lost his spot on the Guardians' 40-man roster, but it appears he will stick around in the organization. The 30-year-old has managed just a .528 OPS with four home runs in 89 games between the Tigers and Guardians in 2023.

Haase was designated for assignment by the Guardians on Thursday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Guardians needed to clear a couple spots on their 40-man roster for their recent waiver claims, and Haase is one of the victims. Haase lasted barely over a week with Cleveland after being claimed off waivers from the Tigers.

Haase went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 10-7 extra-innings win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Haase has made two starts since the Guardians claimed him off waivers from the Tigers last Monday. Both of those games have seen him start behind the dish, but his path to playing time there is crowded with both Bo Naylor and Cam Gallagher also on the roster. Haase has a paltry .203/.249/.284 slash line with four home runs, four steals, 26 RBI, 22 runs scored, eight doubles and a triple over 290 plate appearances this season. He's gone 2-for-7 with a walk and two strikeouts with Cleveland, but it seems unlikely the 30-year-old will get into the lineup much more than once or twice a week.

The Guardians claimed Haase off waivers from the Tigers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

After Detroit moved him off its 40-man roster last week, Haase will stick within the American League Central and begin his second stint in the Guardians organization after he was drafted by Cleveland in 2011 before being traded to the Tigers in 2020. Haase has no minor-league options remaining, so he'll join the 26-man active roster and will step in as the new No. 2 catcher behind Bo Naylor while Cam Gallagher (concussion) and David Fry (hamstring) are on the injured list. Prior to being cut by the Tigers, Haase slashed an abysmal .201/.246/.284 over 282 plate appearances on the season.
