Arcia will begin the 2016 season in the minors, according to Brewers general manager David Stearns, MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Speculation obviously grew when Milwaukee traded Jean Segura to Arizona on Saturday, clearing a path to the majors for Arcia, but Stearns reset expectations. "We're going to send [Arcia] to Triple-A and allow him to continue his development," Stearns said. "Ultimately, as he continues to grow and mature as a player, his production and his continued development will dictate his timeline to the major leagues, rather than a move like this." At this time, it looks like Jonathan Villar will start at shortstop when the 2016 begins.
