Series Preview: Milwaukee Brewers (0-0) at Chicago Cubs (0-0)

Hooray, it’s baseball! Much like it seemingly has been for the past few years, the Cubs are opening the season against the Beers. The Brewers had a relatively quiet offseason. Their only significant free agent signing was Wade Miley, but they did do some wheeling and dealing. Amongst other moves they traded for William Contreras, which surely made beat writers in Milwaukee and St. Louis happy. I guess they also traded for Jesse Winker, who is better than the Reds stink that has surrounded him. They also managed to piss off their best player in Corbin Burnes, who they took to arbitration and beat, likely souring any possibility that he might stick around when he reaches free agency.
