Jon Singleton will begin his third tour in Major League Baseball, eight years after he last played in the big league.
The Brewers announced Saturday that the first baseman would officially join Milwaukee after playing for the Triple A Nashville Sounds, marking the first time Singleton will make an MLB appearance since 2015, when he played for the Astros.
Singleton’s journey back to the big league was difficult and filled with off-the-field adversity. Singleton, who was drafted by the Phillies in the 2009 MLB draft and once considered one of Philadelphia’s best prospects, was traded to the Astros in a deal for Hunter Pence in July ’11.
