The Milwaukee Brewers are releasing the 30-year-old pitcher before he pitches for the organization

Earlier this month, the Milwaukee Brewers signed 30-year-old Jon Duplantier to a minor league contract with an invitation to massive league camp. The former top-100 prospect had some abrasive outings in the MLB in 2019 and 2021, but hasn’t found his way back to the massive leagues since. That return will now be put on hold for even longer, as requested by Duplantier, who was fired.

This was announced by Brewers media members Adam McCalvy and Curt Hogg Jon Duplantier was released from the Brewers organization. Duplantier wanted to leave so he could pursue an opportunity with the Hanshin Tigers of Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball team. Rather than stand in his way, Milwaukee granted his request to be released.
