The Brewers' signing of Rob Zastryzny draws a muted B- sentiment grade, reflecting widespread media skepticism rather than enthusiasm. Coverage across outlets zeroes in on his injury history—particularly the shoulder damage sustained during WBC competition that demanded extended rehabilitation—rather than celebrating any performance upside, signaling genuine concern about his availability and readiness. Fans view this as organizational filler, a low-risk depth move that addresses a roster slot without moving the needle on competitive impact. The narrative arc hinges entirely on whether Zastryzny can recover fully from his shoulder issue; until that question is answered, media confidence remains guarded and cautious. This is a "wait-and-see" addition, not a move that generates optimism or conviction in baseball circles.
