Brewers reportedly considering using Ryan Braun part-time at first base

If you Google “ryan braun first base,” you get more than 2.5 million results.

It’s a topic that’s been brought up by fans for years, dating back to 2014 or so, when Braun’s nagging injuries started to pile up. But it’s also been one that was never truly close to becoming a reality, for a variety of reasons -- either the outfield depth wasn’t quite there (Khris Davis and Gerardo Parra were eventually traded), or the team found solid enough contributors to man first (like Adam Lind, Chris Carter, and Eric Thames/Jesus Aguilar) and such a move wasn’t necessary.
