Ken Rosenthal offers the latest in the Athletic.Rosenthal suggests an inevitability of a reunion between the two parties, and the chances increase with every day Machado, and to a lesser extent Bryce Harper remain in free agency. Rosenthal goes on to reinforce conventional wisdom. The Brewers would want to sign Moose to a one-year deal
Lewis Brinson Jersey , move Travis Shaw to second base for the 2019 season and back to third base in 2020, and ultimately not block the ascendency of Keston Hiura once he is ready.Most Brewers’ fans are probably comfortable with the idea of bringing Moustakas back. He was instrumental in Milwaukee’s run to the playoffs. Of course we know that he has serious power potential, hitting as many as 38 home runs in the 2017 season. Part of the appeal of bringing Moose to Milwaukee is dreaming on his left-handed power in Miller Park. Unfortunately his power did not translate in a meaningful way after he arrived in Milwaukee. Moose hit only eight home runs in 218 plate appearances as a Brewer. He did hit 28 on the season, however. It is a good bet that he will approach 30 home runs playing an entire season with the Brewers. Signing Moustakas obviously lengthens the Brewers lineup. On most nights a slugger will be hitting in the seven-hole if Moustakas signs with the Brew Crew. Forget “Harvey’s Wallbangers,” Brewer faithful will call this team “Counsell’s Crankers.” Or something much better than that, but you get the picture. Let’s not forget that Moose fit into the Brewers clubhouse very well. And of course Moose

If he is back, the clubhouse atmosphere maybe as good as ever, and that is saying something.Statistics courtesy of Baseball-Reference
