The move opens up a roster spot for fellow former major leaguer and fellow former White Sox player Daniel Palka. Saladino had batted .280/.411/.477 with six home runs and six stolen bases through 44 games with the Lions before suffering a back injury. He can opt to join a new KBO team or maybe try to return to MLB.

He receives a $100,000 signing bonus, a $700,000 base salary and up to $100,000 in incentives. Saladino saw time with the Brewers as a utility infielder in 2019, hitting .123 with two home runs, two steals and a 36.6 percent strikeout rate in 71 plate appearances.

Saladino has proven valuable as a utility player for the Brewers over the last two seasons, but the two sides were unable to come to terms on a deal. He hit .123 with two home runs (both grand slams) and two stolen bases in 28 contests with Milwaukee last year.

Saladino was on the verge of joining the Brewers for the stretch run, but he apparently suffered some sort of setback with his injured shoulder, and will not play again this season.
