Earlier this offseason, I wrote an article power ranking the NL Central in which I put the St. Louis Cardinals at second (behind the Reds) and the Brewers all the way back in fourth place. Looking more closely at them, they really have had an odd offseason.
The winter began with the Brewers cutting or choosing not to resign about half of their roster from 2019. The biggest of those names were Travis Shaw, Yasmani Grandal, Mike Moustakas and Eric Thames. In return, the Brewers have taken a very odd path through the offseason.
