Brewers Release Manuel Margot, Option Caleb Durbin
Briefly

The Milwaukee Brewers announced key roster changes, including optioning infielders Caleb Durbin and Tyler Black to minor league camp and releasing outfielder Manuel Margot. Durbin and Black's options were unexpected as both were considered for third-base playtime. Instead, Vinny Capra and Oliver Dunn will share responsibilities at the position. Margot, who had a disappointing season last year, signed a minor deal but did not make the roster. Additionally, Jake Bauers' contract includes an upward mobility clause, with the team nearing a decision on his future.
The decision to option both Durbin and Black to the minors is a surprising one, as both had been in the conversation for playing time at third base.
Dunn got the lion's share of playing time at third base, with Durbin and Black now ticketed for the minors.
Margot experienced the worst season of his career with the Twins last year, hitting just .238/.289/.337, leading him to join the Brewers.
Jake Bauers has an upward mobility clause in his contract, and the Brewers are close to a decision on his roster status.
