When Paul DeJong and Brendan Rodgers signed deals this week, all illusions that the Brewers would bring in a free agent to shore up their infield ended. Barring a trade—which seems unlikely—the Brewers will very likely enter the season with one of Oliver Dunn, Andruw Monasterio, or Caleb Durbin starting every game.
After the departure of Willy Adames, the assumption was that Milwaukee needed to do something—anything—to replace him. While the Brewers can cover two of the infield positions with incumbents (with either Brice Turang or Joey Ortiz playing shortstop and the other playing either second or third base), that leaves one position open with no obvious starting-caliber infielder on the roster.
