Austin Nola Signs Minor League Deal with Brewers

The former Padres catcher will join the Brewers' spring training with a chance to earn up to $1.225 million if he makes the major league team.

Austin Nola, a free agent catcher, has signed a minor league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers.
Nola, 34, previously played for the San Diego Padres, but was not offered a contract this winter after a disappointing season.
Nola's deal with the Brewers includes an invitation to major league spring training.
If Nola makes the major league team, he will earn $975,000, with an additional $250,000 in bonuses available based on games played.
The Brewers recently signed another catcher, Eric Haase, and are looking for a new backup catcher to replace Victor Caratini.
