Milwaukee Brewers
RHP, Will Harris
Bargain hunting has been the name of the game for the Brew Crew thus far, as the team recently signed Justin Smoak a few days ago. With Eric Thames now a free agent, Smoak takes care of the Brewers’ need at first base, but the team could still use an arm in the bullpen (like all teams).
After Josh Hader, there isn’t much to get excited about as it pertains to Milwaukee’s relief core, and there are still concerns as to how effective Corey Knebel will be in 2020 as he makes his return from Tommy John surgery.
Harris has been a beast in the Astros bullpen in the last three seasons, tallying 175 relief appearances in that span as well as 3 WAR. The 35-year-old struck out 9.10 batters per nine this past season and used his filthy cutter to generate a 54.6% ground ball rate and just a measly .195 batting average against. Harris could be a weapon for the Brewers, and his durability should give the team more assurance in the backend of the team’s bullpen.
Contract Prediction: 2 years, $14 million
