BOCA RATON, Fla. -- The Brewers are open to external solutions for their two most unsettled positions, third base and center field, general manager David Stearns suggested Wednesday from the annual General Managers Meetings.
Since they are in the beginning stages of an organizational rebuild, the Brewers are not expected to be players for the top tier of free agents. But that does not completely rule them out of free agency at third base, where the top internal candidates are utility man Elian Herrera and shortstop prospect Yadiel Rivera, or center field, where the only internal candidate is a player more suited for a corner spot, Domingo Santana.
