The Brewers came to terms with rightfielder Ruben Souffront on a 1-year extension in order to go into the season with no question of whether Souffront would be part of the team in 1970 as he would have been arbitration eligible at the end of the 1969 season.
While it was hoped that a long-term contract could be worked out, Souffront was not ready to have this discussion yet. Souffront will have one more year of arbitration eligibility at the end of the 1970 season before he can file for free agency and likely the Brewers will try to get him signed more long-term in the off-season after the 1969 season.
