Lewis Brinson was supposed to the face of the Miami Marlins. A young, athletic outfielder who was living his dream, playing Major League Baseball in his hometown, doing what he loves. It was a Hollywood type of story, being traded to Miami after being in the Milwaukee Brewers minor league system.
The Brewers for Christian Yelich in exchange for Brinson, Jordan Yamamoto, Monte Harrison, and Isan Diaz. It’s a good bet all four of the prospects the Marlins acquired will be on the team’s Opening Day roster – if Brinson can turn things around and play baseball at a more consistent, and reliable rate.
