The Milwaukee Brewers may need to assess their outfield depth following their World Series win. With four promising outfielders—Jackson Chourio, Garrett Mitchell, Sal Frelick, and Luis Lara—under club control, the team faces a potential logjam. Frelick, who played through a torn labrum this season, likely requires surgery and posted a lower batting average this year compared to 2025. Both Mitchell and Chourio showed strong performance, contributing to the victory. The Brewers may have to decide which player to trade if they plan to re-sign Jake Bauers, who also needs playing time. Right now, the scenario likely involves Frelick and Lara sharing right field as they prepare for the 2027 season.
