The Brewers have six quality outfielders (Ryan Braun, Lorenzo Cain, Christian Yelich, Domingo Santana, Keon Broxton, and Brett Phillips) on their depth chart. Furthermore, they have two quality first basemen (Eric Thames and Jesus Aguilar).
At Brewers on Deck, Braun said he would be open to learning first base to help create at-bats for his young outfielder teammates.
“We’ll communicate about it, and I’m sure we’ll have plenty of dialogue as we go, see how things are going, see how our roster develops,” -Ryan Braun
Reports have since confirmed Braun will get reps and learn first base during Spring.
