Thanks to the presence of postseason legend Jackson Chourio (right field) and breakout star Sal Frelick (center field), the Milwaukee Brewers have locked in starters at two of the three outfield positions for the foreseeable future.
Which is what makes the signing of Akil Baddoo all the more intriguing. The one-hit wonder was a rookie sensation with the Detroit Tigers back in 2021 and has played mostly left field in his career, though he's got a career 87 wRC+ and hasn't been an above-average contributor since his debut campaign.
His addition to the 40-man roster, by way of the major league contract he agreed to, now gives the Brewers nine outfielders among a full 40-man group, which is simply untenable for a team that prioritizes flexibility as much as Milwaukee does.
