MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Brewers veteran Ryan Braun said he's more likely to continue playing beyond 2020 because of the unusual circumstances of this pandemic-shortened season.
Braun said in January that he was considering retiring after the season. He was more bullish on his baseball future Saturday as the Brewers held the first full-squad workout of their summer camp ahead of the 60-game season that starts later this month.
Braun, the 2011 NL MVP, is entering the final season of a five-year, $105 million contract and will turn 37 in November.
Those circumstances help explain why Braun was uncertain in January about whether he would play in 2021.
