11-year MLB veteran Jace Peterson has taken a job in player development with the Brewers.
Peterson never announced his retirement, but this would seem to be the end of the 34-year-old. He hit .226/.317/.335 with 42 homers over 887 big-league games with the Padres, Braves, Yankees, Blue Jays, Brewers, A’s and D-backs. Baseball-reference puts him at 3.3 WAR in his three seasons with the Brewers and -0.5 WAR for the rest of his career.
Diamondbacks released INF Jace Peterson.
Peterson was designated for assignment by Arizona on Friday, and rather than report back to Triple-A after going unclaimed, the infielder is now on the free agent market. The 33-year-old scuffled with a .045 average in 22 at-bats, but his versatility should see him get a look with another team; likely on a minor-league deal.
Diamondbacks designated INF Jace Peterson for assignment.
With Pavin Smith and Jordan Montgomery joining the big league roster on Friday, someone needed to get the boot from the active roster and unfortunately Peterson drew the short straw this time around. The versatile 33-year-old was just 1-for-22 (.045) with six strikeouts in his time with the Diamondbacks.
Jace Peterson went 2-for-3 and drove in a pair of runs on Saturday, propelling the Diamondbacks to a 6-2 victory over the Rockies in Cactus League play.
On-base Jace got the scoring started in this one with a two-out RBI single off of Noah Davis in the opening inning. He then plated Alek Thomas with a run-scoring double in the third inning, then came around to score on an RBI single off the bat of Jose Herrera. Peterson’s versatility should earn him a spot on the Diamondbacks’ Opening Day bench, but he’s going to require an injury somewhere in the infield to have any sort of standalone value from a fantasy perspective.
