It has been 136 long days since the Milwaukee Brewers recorded their final out of the 2017 baseball season, but the offseason is finally over and pitchers and catchers report to Maryvale Baseball Park today to start training for 2018. Slingin’ David Stearns certainly didn’t disappoint this winter, making two major additions in the outfield in Christian Yelich and Lorenzo Cain. Outside of a few other supplemental moves - the signings of Jhoulys Chacin, Matt Albers, and Boone Logan - the core from last year’s 86-win squad returns largely intact. Expectations have been raised as Milwaukee looks to build upon their success from last season and get over the hump into the postseason in 2018.
