Alfredo Figaro is still under contract with Japan’s Orix Buffaloes, so the Brewers are backing away from the minor league deal that they struck with him this week.
It’s possible that the Orix Buffaloes will be willing to let Figaro go, but the club hasn’t made a decision yet. “I have reached out to the Orix team and advised them that it was not our intent to violate their reservation rights, and if they intend to retain Figaro we will step aside,” Brewers assistant GM Gord Ash said in an email to MLB.com.
