The Milwaukee Brewers made headlines Thursday night with the acquiring of Christian Yelich from the Marlins and signing Lorenzo Cain. These moves tell the baseball world they are serious about contending in 2018. They had a surprising year in 2017 as they spent a chunk of the summer in first place before the Chicago Cubs overtook them. They finished with 86 wins in a year they were expected to win around 75.
Not fooling around, the gap between the Cubs and Brewers may be tightening up.
