Twins sign Schoop from 2018 Brewers

A member of the Milwaukee Brewers' 2018 playoff squad, brought in from Baltimore during the stretch run, is now a Minnesota Twin.

Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic reported that the Twins were “finalizing” a one-year contract with Jonathan Schoop. The contract is reportedly more than $7 million for the season.

Bob Nightengale of USA TODAY said shortly afterward the teams signed their deal.

In 46 regular season games with Milwaukee, Schoop batted .202 for a .577 OPS, 4 home runs and 21 RBI.

His most memorable moment came on September 9 when he hit a grand slam home run just after the Brewers were involved in a fracas with Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner.
