Clearly third base is a major area of need for the Brewers. Jonathan Villar and Elian Herrera are the only real in-house options at the major league level and neither looks to be a very good fit for the hot corner. In the minors the best bet is probably current shortstop Gilbert Lara. But he's a good 4-5 years away. To this point we've been focusing the Brewers search for their next regular third baseman on the free agent market. For the purposes of this article I'm going to explore one possible solution via trade.
Before I get too far into this I have to acknowledge it's pretty much impossible to accurately predict any kind of trade.
