The Milwaukee Brewers loudly announced their intentions for 2018 with the recent acquisitions of Christian Yelich via trade and Lorenzo Cain in free agency. These major transactions erased any doubts as to whether the franchise had flipped the switch from ‘rebuilding’ to ‘competing’ and the team is primed to contend for a playoff spot this coming season and beyond.
With an overabundance of bats now on the roster, David Stearns and company can turn their attention to finding an upgrade for the pitching staff before the season begins. All indications are that the team is exploring several different options for their starting rotation and according to a report from Jon Heyman that emerged yesterday, we can add a new name to the list of arms that the Brewers have looked into this winter: Arizona lefty Patrick Corbin.
