Brewers extend contract with Timber Rattlers

The Milwaukee Brewers announced a four-year player development contract extension with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers of the Midwest League through the 2020 season.

The Timber Rattlers play their home games at Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium in Appleton.

The announcement was made jointly by Brewers president of baseball operations and general manager Doug Melvin and Timber Rattlers president Rob Zerjav.
 
“We thoroughly enjoy the professional working relationship that President Rob Zerjav and the Timber Rattlers provide to the Milwaukee Brewers,” Melvin said. “This long-term relationship continues to show the trust and confidence that we have in working together as we continue to develop future Major League players.”
 
The 2015 season will mark the seventh season of affiliation between the Brewers and Timber Rattlers. The partnership officially began on Oct. 1, 2008 as part of a four-year agreement. The organizations announced a four-year extension through the 2016 season on June 29, 2011.
 
This past season, the Timber Rattlers went 72-67 during the regular season and qualified for the postseason after clinching a second-half Wild Card berth in the Midwest League’s Western Division. It marked Wisconsin’s second postseason appearance over the past three seasons (also 2012 when they won the Midwest League championship).
 
“Our relationship with the entire Brewers organization has been a special one for the Timber Rattlers, for the local business community in the Fox Valley and, most importantly, for our fans,” Zerjav said. “The Brewers provided us the team that brought home the first Midwest League championship in Timber Rattlers history and it has been great to see the success of former Rattlers now making an impact at the big league level in Milwaukee. We look forward to many more years of this great partnership both on and off the field.”
