Milwaukee Brewers best-case free agents to target: Jorge Soler, OF

The Brewers are all too familiar with Jorge Soler after facing the Atlanta Braves in the NLDS. The World Series MVP capitalized on a mid-season trade to the Braves and really kicked it into gear for his new team.

Soler hit .259 with a .358 on-base percentage in 55 regular season games with the Braves. His new team will be hoping they’re getting that version of him moving forward. His awful defense is certainly a concern, making him a risky signing by any team. With a pending DH coming for the entire MLB, he could be a candidate to take that spot over for the Brewers if they bring him to Milwaukee.
