Brewer’s 10-day contract with the Kings has expired
After Corey Brewer signed with the Kings on Feb. 8, he was excited to join a high-flying team in playoff contention.
“They’re fun to watch, so I know they’re going to be fun to play with,” he said.
Unfortunately for the veteran in his 12th NBA season, all he’s done is watch. The Kings have played in three games since Brewer joined, but he hasn’t played a minute for Sacramento.
Brewer’s deal has expired. However, the NBA’S transaction report shows he signed a second 10-day contract Monday.
This will be the fourth deal of this kind he’s signed this season. Before coming to the Kings, he had two 10-day deals with the Philadelphia 76ers. Teams are allowed to sign a player twice under these terms before choosing to ink them for the rest of the season or let them go.
With the 76ers, he averaged 7.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.7 steals in 20.6 minutes over seven games.
Though Brewer hasn’t appeared for the Kings, he has played at Golden 1 Center this season. He had four points and two rebounds in six minutes of Philadelphia’s 115-108 loss to the Kings on Feb. 2. Less than a week later,
Jays in 2014, Barreto has long been considered their top hitting prospect over the past few years. With nothing left to prove in the minors, it’s all about getting that opportunity.

A’s manager Bob Melvin is still a big fan.

he’ll remain in the game of baseball in some capacity, but said he’s excited to spend free time with his grandchildren.
“It’s an open door to whatever he would want to do,” Baer said. “He might want to take a couple of days off before going to work in the offseason, it’s been a lot of years.”
When asked if he would ever contemplate managing again, Bochy refused to close the door entirely on a potential comeback.
“Never is a big word,” Bochy said. “It’s a long time, isn’t it? Never say never. You never know what’s ahead of you. Where my head is at right now, I’m retiring as a manager here this year.”
The Giants do not plan to begin searching for Bochy’s successor immediately, but Baer said Zaidi would lead the process. Zaidi could have multiple key voids to fill next offseason as the Giants have discussed hiring a general manager to work under their president of baseball operations.
Though the Giants are not immediately concerned with evaluating candidates to replace Bochy, the team’s players desire to make his final season in San Francisco one of his most memorable.
“What’s even crazier is no one is expecting us to do anything,” pitcher Derek Holland said. “That’s what makes the story that much better.” he was a King.
“It’s a perfect situation, being a wing and being with this young team,” he said in his first meeting with local media. “The way they like to play, get up and down, is the way I like to play, and they’re trying to make the playoffs, and to me that’s what it’s all about.”
