Zach Davies' agent feels demotion by Brewers was disrespectful

Milwaukee Brewers' pitcher Zach Davies' agent Scott Boras said that the team disrespected Davies by demoting him to the minors before the All-Star break.

What It Means:

Davies was demoted to make room for Andy Wilkins on the Brewers' bench. Boras said about the incident: "... he was told he no longer was a member of the team. It's disrespect for someone who will be a principal part of the organization for years to come, to add a bench player for 10 days."

Davies ranks 101st in the majors with a 1.98 nERD, and despite a rise in ERA, he has been playing better than he did his rookie year. He owns a 4.19 SIERA, 19.80 percent strikeout rate and 6.70 percent walk rate all representing improvements.
