Quintin Berry: Transitions into coaching
The Brewers announced Wednesday that Quintin Berry has joined their 2021 coaching staff, signaling the end of his playing career.After a 13-year professional career that ended in 2018, Berry had spent the previous two seasons as an outfield and baserunning coordinator in the Brewers' minor-league system. The 35-year-old saw action in parts of five major-league seasons with the Tigers, Red Sox, Orioles, Cubs and Brewers, making his biggest impact on the basepaths. Over 132 career regular-season games, Berry went 29-for-31 on stolen-base attempts.

Yankees' Quintin Berry: Inks minors deal with Yankees
Quintin Berry signed a minor-league contract with the New York Yankees on Monday.Berry will report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he'll serve as organizational outfield depth. He hit just .214/.290/.321 across 42 games with Triple-A Colorado Springs earlier in the year before being cut loose by the Brewers. He managed to steal 10 bases over that stretch, and could be utilized as a pinch runner in September if the Yankees opt to add him to their 40-man roster.

Brewers' Quintin Berry: Returns to Brewers
Quintin Berry re-signed with Milwaukee on a minor-league deal Monday.The 33-year-old oufielder was used occasionally as a pinch runner for the Milwaukee Brewers last year, appearing in seven games and stealing three bases. His five steals in six plate appearances over the past four years is an incredible ratio, but he hasn't recorded a major-league hit over that timespan. He's unlikely to provide anything other than minor-league depth for the Brewers this season.

Brewers' Quintin Berry: Contract purchased from Triple-A
Quintin Berry's contract was selected from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday.A 32-year-old journeyman with only 342 career plate appearances in the majors under his belt, Berry hit .286/.375/.452 with two home runs and two steals in 10 games with Colorado Springs. Berry is 27-for-28 on stolen-base attempts in his big-league career. He can play center field and serves as another left-handed option off the bench, but his primary usage may come as a pinch runner late in games. Jonathan Villar and Keon Broxton should still see the bulk of the work in center field over the final four weeks of the season.

Quintin Berry: Released by Minnesota
The Twins released Quintin Berry on Tuesday.The 32-year-old outfielder signed a minor-league contract with the Twins in February and opened the season with Triple-A Rochester, with whom he slashed .194/.275/.278 in 40 plate appearances. The speedy veteran last played in the majors in 2015 with the Cubs, but at this stage of his career, Berry looks to be little more than organizational depth. He'll presumably attempt to land a minor-league deal elsewhere.
