"Jones, 28 in March, has a very limited major league track record. He appeared in three games with the White Sox this year and six games with the Rockies the previous season. He has one hit in eight plate appearances but the one hit was a homer. The Brewers have presumably brought him aboard because of his minor league track record. His offensive chops aren't amazing but he has speed and defensive versatility."
"From 2021 to 2024, he stole at least 24 bases in the minors each year, including 46 steals in the final of those four seasons. He was on the minor league injured list for most of 2025 and only got into 21 contests on the farm but stole 12 bags in those. Defensively, he has experience at both middle infield positions and the three outfield slots."
Jones is 28 in March and has minimal major-league experience, appearing in three games with the White Sox and six with the Rockies, with one career hit that was a homer. The Brewers signed him to a minor-league contract and gave him a spring-training invite. He is a switch-hitter with defensive versatility across middle infield and all three outfield spots and strong minor-league baserunning, stealing at least 24 bases annually from 2021–2024 and 46 in 2024. He missed most of 2025 with a minor-league injury but still stole 12 bases in 21 games. Over the past three years he produced a .250/.332/.428 line with a 37% strikeout rate, translating to an 87 wRC+. He is out of options and has minimal MLB service time.
