Milwaukee Brewers best-case free agents to target: Michael Conforto, OF

The Brewers already have a ton of money locked up in their outfield with Christian Yelich, Lorenzo Cain and Jackie Bradley Jr. all commanding high salaries in 2021. That doesn’t mean they have three solid outfielders, however.

With Avisail Garcia electing free agency, Milwaukee is in the market for another starting outfielder. Conforto had an up and down 2021 campaign which means David Stearns could strike with a classic one-year plus an option deal. He’s a bit younger than some of the other outfield options which could be intriguing to Milwaukee. He can also play either corner outfield position and provide average defense at best.
