| 12/08/23 | Former MLB All-Star cautions Yankees against playing Aaron Judge in center field: 'Let a thump stump'. Lorenzo Cain knows a thing or two about patrolling center field. The former two-time MLB All-Star and 2019 Gold Glove winner is now retired, having spent most of his career with the Kansas City Royals (2011-17) and winning a World Series in '15. The Bronx Bombers, tired of having waiver-wire acquisitions play the outfield, went out and acquired a litany of outfielders headlined by Juan Soto while adding the likes of Alex Verdugo and Trent Grisham.

| 6/18/22 | Brewers DFA two-time All-Star OF Cain as he reaches 10 years. CINCINNATI (AP) — On the same date that he reached 10 years of major league service, the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday designated for assignment two-time All-Star outfielder Lorenzo Cain. Cain, 36, hit .179 with one home run and nine RBIs over 43 games this season. “It just got to a point where it’s probably time,” Cain told a small group of Brewers’ beat writers. “I haven’t been performing like I would’ve liked, but the situation is what it is. I’ve had a great career. I can’t really be upset about anything, but, yeah, it’s time. I wish all my teammates the best, coaches, trainers, everybody that I’ve played with or met throughout my entire career, I wish them nothing but the best. It’s been a really fun ride for me for sure.” Cain is in the last year of a five-year, $80 million contract he signed in January 2018 as a free agent. Milwaukee is responsible for the $10,897,121 remaining of this season’s $18 million salary. He is unlikely to be claimed off waivers because of his salary. If he is released, any team can sign him for a prorated share of the $700,000 minimum. The center fielder played a key role for the 2015 World Series champion Kansas City Royals before signing with the Brewers, the team that originally drafted him before trading him in December 2010 to the Royals. He helped Milwaukee reach postseason play each of the past four seasons. “No doubt, he did his part,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. “At the end, it was time for this. It was just time.” If Cain harbored any ill will, it didn’t show. “I would say it was mutual to part ways,” he said. “We have a really good team. I don’t think I was contributing the way I would’ve liked. I feel like they definitely had to make a move. I definitely would’ve... Source: https://www.chron.com/sports/article/Brewers-DFA-t... |
