With the MLB offseason underway, the Milwaukee Brewers and the rest of the league are free to sign free agents and make trades. The Brewers have completed a couple of smaller deals, but they have yet to make a big splash. If they do swing for the fences, there are a number of free agents they should avoid.

Milwaukee had a disappointing playoff run when they lost in the NLDS to the Atlanta Braves in just four games. Their woeful offense was at the heart of their issues and the team could look to upgrade that area this offseason. We’ve covered some big-name free agents they could sign so let’s take a look at five players the Brewers should avoid at all costs.

If the Milwaukee Brewers want to have a successful 2021-22 offseason, they’ll stay far, far away from these five free agents.

Brewers’ free agents to avoid: Kyle Seager

The good news: Kyle Seager hit a career-high 35 home runs and had 101 RBIs this season. The bad news: he got worse in almost every other area of his offensive game in order to get that extra power.

He struck out on nearly a quarter of his at-bats and only walked on 8.8 percent of them. As a result, his batting average and on-base percentage were both miserable. His basic stats may look like they ascended at the right time, but the Brewers don’t need another guy who can’t get on base.
