With the winter meetings set to kick-off later this week, who should the Milwaukee Brewers be targeting in free agency?

It should be an exciting winter for the Milwaukee Brewers.

With the team having significant payroll flexibility as they enter into this off-season, they should be a major factor in free agency in the days and weeks to come.

Given that the team has the money to afford any of the major players on the market, who should the team prioritize? In this article, we’ll explore three realistic targets that the team may be able to land.

Two types of players will not be specifically included in this article. One are the free agents that the team has, which most notably includes catcher Yasmani Grandal and third baseman Mike Moustakas. According to MLB Network insider, Jon Heyman, the Brewers have already made it clear that they want to retain both players. 

I’ve also excluded those players at the very top of the list who the Brewers are likely to have no chance of landing, namely Stephen Strasburg, Gerrit Cole, and Anthony Rendon.

Without further ado, let’s dive in!
