It’s probably a split contract. Baddoo has an option year left, and with three years of service time, the Brewers will control his rights through at least 2028 (it’d extend to 2029 if he spends a few weeks in the minors). We doubt they’ll really benefit from that, but maybe he’ll be their latest overachiever. The 27-year-old Baddoo has a career .224/.305/.369 line in 1,143 major league at-bats, all of them with the Tigers. He played in just seven major league games and hit .279/.384/.478 with 16 homers and 27 steals for Triple-A Toledo last season. As things stand now, it looks he’ll be competing with Blake Perkins, Garrett Mitchell (if healthy), Isaac Collins, Brandon Lockridge and Steward Berroa for two places on Milwaukee’s roster. Most likely, he’ll start off in the minors.

All three were pretty legitimate, too, though the third one should have been played better. Baddoo had just one triple in 64 games this season prior to last night. In case you’re curious, there have been four three-triple games in the majors since 2000, with Rafael Furcal (2002), Denard Span (2010), Yasiel Puig (2014) and Xavier Edwards (2024) pulling off the feat.

Baddoo was already back in the minors when the Tigers removed him from the 40-man roster last week. He can choose to become a free agent, but it’s unclear if there are any better options out there for him after he went unclaimed. The 26-year-old Baddoo went 2-for-17 in eight major league games last months. He’s hit .248/.340/.436 in 153 plate appearances for Toledo this season.

The Tigers needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster to promote Jahmai Jones from Triple-A Toledo on Friday and unfortunately Baddoo was the odd-man out. Still just 26-years-old, there’s a good chance that another team could be willing to take a chance on him on waivers. Stay tuned.
