Brewers: How will playing time shake out at third base?

Eric Sogard, who played for the Brewers in 2017 and 2018, had his best year in the majors in 2019. With both the Toronto Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays he had a slash-line of .290/.353.457 along with 13 homers and 40 RBIs in 442 plate appearances. Outside of 2019, he is a career .248/.318/.343 hitter who hits for very little power.

Sogard is very versatile defensively playing multiple positions including second, third and short. He has an opportunity to play a lot between shortstop and third base considering the team’s question marks at third, Luis Urias‘ injury and Orlando Arcia‘s ongoing offensive issues.
