Brewers and C Martin Maldonado avoided arbitration by agreeing to a two-year, $1.95 million contract.

He'll make $850,000 in 2015 and $1.1 million in 2016. Maldonado was arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter as a Super Two player. The 28-year-old batted .234/.320/.387 with four home runs and 16 RBI across 52 games last year while serving as Jonathan Lucroy's backup. He'll still have two years of arbitration remaining after this deal expires. Jan 15 - 5:42 PM

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado went 3-for-4 with four RBI in Wednesday's win over the Rays.

Maldonado drove in two runs with a single in the second, one run with a double in the sixth and another run with a single in the eighth. The backup catcher plated four of the team's five runs in the 5-0 victory.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado blasted his first home run of the season in Monday’s victory over the Diamondbacks.

The 27-year-old backstop connected on a two-run shot off Mike Bolsinger in the second inning, giving the Brewers an early 3-1 lead. He also doubled and walked, finishing the night 2-for-3 with two runs scored.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado returned from his five-game suspension on Monday.

Maldonado entered Monday's game in the seventh inning to play first base and went on to walk and ground out in two plate appearances. The 27-year-old received a five-game suspension for his actions in a brawl with the Pirates on April 20.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado will begin serving his five-game suspension on Tuesday night.

Maldonado was also fined $2,500 for his role in Sunday's brawl at PNC Park and has decided not to appeal. He landed a hard punch to the face of Travis Snider.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

MLB suspended Brewers catcher Martin Maldonado for five games and fined him for $2,500 for his role in Sunday's benches-clearing brawl with the Pirates.

It's unclear whether he will appeal the suspension. Maldonado was right in the middle of Sunday's scrum and could be seen landing a punch on Pirates' outfielder Travis Snider. Look for MLB to announce punishments for additional players soon.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado said Tuesday that he lost 26 pounds during the offseason by "eating right."

Say hello to the latest member of the "Best Shape of His Life" club. Maldonado, 27, is hoping to rebound after batting just .169/.236/.284 over 202 plate appearances last season.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado had another rough night at the plate in Friday's loss to the Angels, going 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout.

The 27-year-old backstop has certainly regressed offensively from his eye-opening 2012 campaign. He's now hitting a paltry .171/.227/.280 with three homers and 19 RBI in 164 at-bats on the season.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado has regressed at the plate in 2013, slashing .184/.253/.303 over 83 plate appearances.

In his first real exposure to Major League pitching, Maldonado batted .266/.321/.408 in 256 plate appearances last season. Perhaps he's toting his struggles onto the field with his catcher's gear. Maldonado has been a run worse than average defensively this year, according to Baseball Reference.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and an RBI, leading the Brewers to a 4-1 victory over the Pirates on Sunday.

Maldonado has done a very nice job in his first real exposure to Major League pitching, hitting .285 with five homers and 18 RBI in 40 games. It will be interesting to see if he remains on the roster as the backup catcher when Jonathan LuCroy returns from the DL in a couple of weeks.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado blasted a two-run home run in the ninth inning, breaking a tie and leading the Brewers to a 5-3 victory over the Twins.

Maldonado finished the game 2-for-4 with the crucial home run off Matt Capps. He's provided very solid and unexpected power production since being recalled from Triple-A, hitting .262 with four homers and 12 RBI in just 42 at-bats. While he won't continue at this unsustainable pace, he makes for a very intriguing option in deep two catcher leagues.

Sat, Jun 16, 2012 12:17:00 AM

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado hit a three-run homer in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Padres.

Maldonado's sixth-inning blast off of Anthony Bass was his only hit in four trips to the plate, though he's now gone deep three times in just 34 at-bats since being recalled from Triple-A Nashville. Seeing more playing time than a banged up George Kottaras (hamstring) in the absence of Jonathan Lucroy, Maldonado is worth a look in NL-only leagues.

Sun, Jun 10, 2012 06:29:00 PM

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Brewers recalled C Martin Maldonado from Triple-A Nashville.

As expected, Maldonado will take Jonathan Lucroy's place on the active roster. The 25-year-old backstop was hitting .198/.270/.347 over 138 plate appearances with Triple-A Nashville this season and has a .236/.313/.333 batting line over parts of nine seasons in the minors. He'll function as a backup to George Kottaras while Lucroy is on the shelf.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

The Brewers will recall C Martin Maldonado from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

He'll replace the injured Jonathan Lucroy (hand) on the active roster. Known more for his defense behind the plate, the 25-year-old owns a .236/.313/.333 batting line over parts of nine seasons in the minors. He can be ignored in fantasy leagues.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Brewers optioned C Martin Maldonado to Triple-A Nashville.

No surprise here. The Brewers will start Jonathan Lucroy behind the plate with George Kottaras backing him up.

Depth Charts

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Jonathan Lucroy Sidelined Jonathan Lucroy received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his right hamstring on Tuesday. Lucroy said the official diagnosis was a partially torn hamstring tendon, but the Brewers are calling it a mild strain. Either way, the belief is that he'll miss 4-6 weeks, which still gives him enough time to be ready for Opening Day. "The cool thing about it is I can hit and throw and catch and not feel anything," said Lucroy. "But when I start running, I feel it. It's not that big of a deal. These things usually heal on their own. So, we gave it a little incentive to heal with the PRP insertion. It is what it is. There's no reason to panic." Feb 11

RF	1	Ryan Braun Sidelined While the Brewers are limiting his extra hitting during the early part of spring training, there are no extra limitations on Ryan Braun (thumb). This jibes well with the reports that have been received throughout the offseason that Braun is back to 100 percent and that his thumb shouldn't be an issue moving forward. The 31-year-old is looking to rebound from a disappointing 2014 season where he slashed just .266/.324/.453 with 19 homers and 81 RBI in 135 games. Feb 21
