Coming into 2021, the Milwaukee Brewers had huge holes to fill at third base and first base. Their outfield was set with three starters with strong track records. Well David Stearns, as he is apt to do, did some “outside the box” stuff. He moved Keston Hiura to first base and signed defensive star Kolten Wong to man the keystone. He brought in Travis Shaw to compete for the third base job with other multi-positional players like Daniel Robertson, Luis Urias, and even Orlando Arcia. And then he did something even more interesting.
Stearns added a defensive stud in Jackie Bradley Jr.
