Jeff Kerr: “The Phillies have acquired outfielder Steward Berroa from the Brewers in exchange for cash considerations Optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Yoniel Curet DFAd. Berroa has played 30 career games in MLB. Plays all 3 OF positions. #Phillies need OF depth, especially in Triple-A.”
@acote_88: “The Phillies acquired outfielder Steward Berroa from the Brewers in exchange for cash considerations. Berroa batted .236 with a .662 OPS in the minors last year. To make room for Berroa on the 40-man roster, RHP Yoniel Curet was DFA’d.”
@FightinsCentral: “The Phillies acquired Steward Berroa from the Brewers today in exchange for cash considerations, according to @MattGelb. 26 with 30 games in the majors with a .167/.314/.190 slash. Considered to be a bench OF at best in the MLB and best served as a defensive replacement.”

@nyttypos: “In 2024 he put up these splits in the minors, but in 2025 he put up these awful ones. I doubt he can hit at this level, but he can play an outfield spot with the Iron Pigs if De la Cruz is called up.”
