Coming into 2019, the Milwaukee Brewers appeared to have first base figured out for the foreseeable future. Jesus Aguilar would see the bulk of the at-bats at first, while Eric Thames would platoon at first, and pick up a few plate appearances off the bench and in the outfield.
Aguilar was traded for Jake Faria before the July 31st trade deadline, and Thames isn’t a guarantee to return. What should the Milwaukee Brewers do to solve first base in 2020?
Are there any options internally?
Not really. The Milwaukee Brewers don’t have an option in Double-A or Triple-A who could take over the full-time first base job.
