Lorenzo Cain, Brewers Reportedly Agree to 5-Year, $80M Contract

The Milwaukee Brewers bolstered their lineup, fielding and speed on the basepaths in one move Thursday by reportedly signing center fielder Lorenzo Cain.

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported the news. The deal is for five years and $80 million, per Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com. The move comes on the same day Milwaukee also acquired outfielder Christian Yelich from the Miami Marlins.

Cain played 43 games in 2010 for the Brewers and has spent the rest of his MLB career on the Kansas City Royals to this point.
