The Milwaukee Brewers made only four signings or trades before January 1st, and made 10 moves after the New Year this past off season. Third baseman Mike Moustakas didn’t sign until February 19th.
What are the odds that GM David Stearns slow plays this off season again?
The market could be slow for 1st basemen
After Jose Abreu, the first base market is very similar. From Edwin Encarnacion to Howie Kendrick, there are a lot of options available at first. That’s not even counting a potential reunion with Eric Thames or a run at Japanese slugger Yoshitomo Tsutsugo.
