Milwaukee Brewers best-case free agents to target: Seiya Suzuki, OF

With the Brewers obviously in the market for an outfielder, they could pursue Seiya Suzuki of Japan–a relative unknown to most MLB fans.

At 27-years-old, Suzuki would be looking for a longer deal than most players on this list and a big payday to make his move across the globe worth it. His best position is right field where he projects as an above-average defender. He should also have power that transfers over, placing him squarely in the middle of the Brewers’ lineup. Of course, there’s always a risk when someone comes over from another league, but it could be a move that puts Milwaukee over the top.
