Accepts front office job
Alvarez has joined the Brewers as an assistant in the baseball operations department, the organization announced Friday.
ANALYSIS
Alvarez's move into Milwaukee's front office effectively signals the end of his playing days. The No. 2 overall selection in the 2008 first-year player draft, Alvarez reached the big leagues in 2010 and spent parts of nine seasons in the majors with the Pirates and Orioles. The power-hitting corner infielder was named an All-Star and Silver Slugger Award winner in 2013 after bashing a career-high 36 home runs, and he had three other seasons with at least 20 long balls. However, Alvarez's poor contact rates and lack of defensive flexibility played a large part in his playing days being over after his age-31 season.

Although he was coming off a 22-home run campaign with the Orioles in 2016, Alvarez was only brought back by the organization on a minor-league deal and spent nearly the entire season at Triple-A Norfolk. Alvarez's power was still evident as he hit 26 home runs at Triple-A, but he only slashed .239/.294/.442 with a 23 percent strikeout rate, so he didn't exactly quell the concerns about his ability to consistently make contact and get on base. As a left-handed bat with legit power, Alvarez still has some appeal on the free-agent market, but his struggles against lefties coupled with his lack of defensive prowess dwindles down the number of teams that'd have serious interest. His best chance of making an Opening Day roster would be with an AL team short on power off the bench.
