Last season Trot Nixon signed a minor league deal with Arizona. He played fifty-eight games for their AAA team, hitting .309/.437/.558 before being traded to the Mets. He got into eleven games in Queens (.171/.293/.286) before he was sidelined with a strained groin muscle.
This past December he signed a minor league deal with the Brewers. He worked hard to get himself back into playing shape and make a run at the role Kap played for the Brewers last year (again article read in December/January has gone missing-but it was there, I read it.) Nixon's dreams of the good life in Milwaukee have, however, come to an end. The Brewers set him free today.
Ken Macha (Wait. What? I briefly fell asleep.) who is, thankfully, now managing the Brewers said that Trot was not yet ready to call it a day and that they released him so he might be able to find somewhere else to play. If he can find somewhere willing to take him on, that would be great. But it seems that the end may be near for Trot.
