Richardson Elects Free Agency After Brewers Outrighting
The 26-year-old righty, out of options, chose free agency over a minor league assignment as Milwaukee's playoff roster picture closed out.
Lyon Richardson was designated for assignment by Milwaukee and subsequently outrighted, prompting him to elect free agency. The 26-year-old right-hander is out of options, meaning the Brewers would need to DFA him each time he was removed from the big league roster. He made brief appearances for both Cincinnati and Milwaukee this season but did not pitch in his final two days on the Brewers' roster. Richardson will seek a minor league deal this offseason.
