The Brewers traded Isaac Collins and Nick Mears to the Royals for Ángel Zerpa, leaving a void in left field. With Jackson Chourio and Sal Frelick locked into other spots, the Brewers have several options to fill the gap, including Christian Yelich, Garrett Mitchell, Blake Perkins, Brandon Lockridge, Steward Berroa, and Akil Baddoo. While Yelich is not an ideal everyday option, Mitchell and Baddoo are the most likely candidates to compete for the open spot. Spring training will be crucial for these players to prove their worth.
