"The Milwaukee Brewers signed infielder and top prospect Cooper Pratt to an eight-year deal worth $50.75 million earlier this week, and former Blue Jays outfielder Steward Berroa was designated for assignment for Pratt to be on the 40-man roster."
"Pratt will remain in Triple-A. Signed by the Blue Jays as an international free agent in 2016, he has spent the majority of his career in the Jays system."
"Berroa's time with the Jays came to an end in May of 2025, with the Jays selecting the contract of Braydon Fisher, and Berroa was DFA'd to make room on the 40-man roster."
"Barring being picked up by another team either through waivers or trade, Berroa will return to Triple-A with the Brew Crew, as he can't reject the assignment."
Cooper Pratt signed an eight-year contract worth $50.75 million with the Milwaukee Brewers, necessitating the designation of Steward Berroa for assignment. Pratt, a former Blue Jays prospect, debuted in 2024 and spent time in Triple-A. Berroa's tenure with the Blue Jays ended in May 2025, leading to his trade to the Dodgers and subsequent moves. He started the 2026 season on the injured list and has limited appearances. If not claimed, Berroa will return to Triple-A with the Brewers.
