Kratz agreed to a one-year contract with the Brewers on Tuesday, avoiding arbitration.

EDGE Analysis

Kratz will return to Milwaukee after enjoying somewhat of a resurgence with the Brewers in 2018. After being acquired from the Yankees in May, the veteran backstop hit .236/.380/.355 with six homers and 23 RBI across 67 games. He'll most likely serve as the backup to Manny Pina in 2019.
