Bringing back Eric Thames makes sense on a lot of different fronts. He is familiar with the team, he is a fan favorite, he has power, hits left-handed, and is a known quantity in Milwaukee.
Thames had a fantastic season in Milwaukee as was discussed in his 2019 season report card. He had an option on the table for $7.5 million but the Brewers declined the offer making him a free agent. As the market has begun to lay out, Thames might be one of the top targets out there and a reunion makes sense for both parties.
