The offseason is heating up, and the Milwaukee Brewers are facing a pivotal moment with the departure of Willy Adames. With a gaping hole at shortstop, the team has some intriguing options to consider. Brice Turang and Joey Ortiz have both shown promise in their respective positions, but the question remains: who should take the reins at shortstop?
Let’s dive into the possibilities. Should the Brewers stick with Turang, who just won a Platinum Glove at second base, or is it time to shift him back to shortstop? Ortiz has also proven himself at third base, but could he be the answer at short? And what about the potential of Sal Frelick moving infield? His speed and defensive skills could be a game-changer, but is it worth sacrificing his outfield prowess?
Moreover, with the Brewers eyeing internal options, how do you feel about Tyler Black and Caleb Durbin stepping up? Black has shown offensive upside, but can he handle the defensive demands of the infield? Durbin’s impressive minor league stats suggest he could be ready for a shot, but does he have the tools to be a regular contributor?
Let’s not forget the broader implications of these decisions. How will the Brewers’ infield shake-up affect their overall performance in the upcoming season? Will they be able to compete in a tough NL Central, or are they setting themselves up for a rebuilding phase?
I want to hear your thoughts! Who do you think should take over at shortstop? What bold predictions do you have for the Brewers’ infield this season? And how do you see their offseason moves impacting their chances in 2025? Let’s get the conversation rolling!
