With Ian Kinsler agreeing to a two-year deal with the San Diego Padres, the Brewers had to cross one of the options they were considering off their list.
According to Ken Rosenthal, they may be replacing Kinsler with another name. In his latest notes column, he says the Brewers are “showing interest” in Jed Lowrie.
As Rosenthal points out, there’s some level of familiarity at play here — the well-traveled Lowrie was in Houston in 2015, David Stearns’ last year in that organization before he was hired by Milwaukee in September.
