The veteran first baseman missed most of the 2020 season due to injury and could be a prime bounce-back candidate for the Brewers to sign.
Last offseason, the Milwaukee Brewers signed a number of players in the offseason gambling on them having bounce-back seasons in 2020. The results of those gambles were mixed, though they mostly trended toward misses.
One of those gambles that didn’t miss was Jedd Gyorko. The Brewers signed him hoping that he would return to form after an injury-plagued 2019 season and he went on to be one of the best, if not the best, offensive players on the Brewers in 2020.
