4 years agoThe Milwaukee Brewers released Jordan Zimmermann on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. The 34-year-old was unable to secure a spot on the Opening Day roster, though the Brewers are still hoping to re-sign the veteran via a minor-league deal. Zimmerman was due a $100,000 retention bonus Saturday, so the release and potential re-signing would save some money for Milwaukee. Zimmerman can be ignored in terms of fantasy production. Poor durability and a low strikeout rate are typically not a recipe for success, both of which Zimmerman can attest to. He's an avoidable pitcher in all formats.--James Stokke
