The Milwaukee Brewers might have hoped Jeferson Quero would be in the big leagues by now, but injuries have curtailed his development.
The 23-year-old Venezuelan catcher, who has burned through two of his minor-league options, has suffered injuries to both shoulders and a hamstring in the last two seasons. All the while, the Brewers have used a rotating cast of veterans, most recently trade deadline pickup Danny Jansen, as the backup to All-Star William Contreras.
This is a critical offseason for Quero to prove he still has a bright future on the Brewers’ major league roster, potentially even joining that roster right from the jump when the season begins.
