After submitting their responses to Ohtani’s questionnaire, the Milwaukee Brewers didn’t seem that optimistic about landing the two-way player. As it turns out, they were right. It’s been reported that the Milwaukee Brewers are officially out of the sweepstakes.
The #Brewers have been informed they will not move to second round with Japanese free agent Shohei Ohtani.

Well, that stinks. As enticing as it would be to see Ohtani hit bombs and throw his blazing 102 MPH fastball in Miller Park, we will now only be able to watch him do it as an opponent.
