The Brewers outrighted Bae to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.
Bae passed through waivers unclaimed after being kicked off the 40-man roster. He has been outrighted previously, which gives Bae the right to decline the Brewers' assignment and become a free agent. As things currently stand, he appears headed to Nashville for utility depth.

The Brewers designated Bae for assignment Saturday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Bae will give up his spot on the active and 40-man rosters for Jonathan Ornelas, who was acquired from the Athletics on Saturday. Bae went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a steal during his time with Milwaukee and will likely spend the remainder of the season in the minors if he clears waivers.

The Brewers signed Bae to a minor-league contract and added him to the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Twins.
Bae was part of the Brewers' taxi squad to begin the day but ended up being activated after shortstop Cooper Pratt (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list shortly before first pitch. With Pratt on the shelf, Joey Ortiz (neck) and David Hamilton are expected to serve as the Brewers' main options at shortstop, while Bae will bolster the club's bench. The 27-year-old has seen big-league action in each of the previous four seasons but had spent the entire 2026 campaign at the Triple-A level in the Mets organization before he was released earlier this month. Bae produced a .257/.360/.368 slash line with five home runs and 36 steals in 91 games at Triple-A and made starts at second base and all three outfield positions.

The Mets released Bae on Tuesday.
Bae had seen big-league action with the Pirates in each of the previous four seasons but has spent the entire 2026 campaign in the minors after the Mets claimed him off waivers in November and then outrighted him to Triple-A Syracuse in January. The 27-year-old has produced a .257/.360/.368 slash line with five home runs and 36 stolen bases in 91 games at the Triple-A level this season.

The Mets reassigned Bae to minor-league camp Sunday.
Briefly a member of the Mets' 40-man roster in the offseason after being claimed off waivers in November, Bae was outrighted in January and attended spring training as a non-roster invitee. Despite posting an .871 OPS in Grapefruit League play, Bae was unable to secure a spot on the Opening Day roster. He should get the chance to play regularly at Triple-A Syracuse.

Bae was outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse by the Mets on Thursday.
Bae was claimed off waivers by the Mets in early November, but he won't keep his place on their 40-man roster through the offseason. He could still have the opportunity to regain his roster spot with a strong showing this spring.
