Brewers Open To Trading From Outfield DepthThe Brewers are exploring trades involving their depth outfielders, report Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic. The report lists Isaac Collins and Blake Perkins as the two likeliest candidates to move. Jackson Chourio certainly isn’t going anywhere.

Brewers signed OF Akil Baddoo to a one-year contract.It's probably a split contract. Baddoo has an option year left, and with three years of service time, the Brewers will control his rights through at least 2028 (it'd extend to 2029 if he spends a few weeks in the minors). We doubt they'll really benefit from that, but maybe he'll be their latest overachiever. The 27-year-old Baddoo has a career .224/.305/.369 line in 1,143 major league at-bats, all of them with the Tigers. He played in just seven major league games and hit .279/.384/.478 with 16 homers and 27 steals for Triple-A Toledo last season. As things stand now, it looks he'll be competing with Blake Perkins, Garrett Mitchell (if healthy), Isaac Collins, Brandon Lockridge and Steward Berroa for two places on Milwaukee's roster. Most likely, he'll start off in the minors.
