Brewers’ Lara Puzzle: Spot or Stall | Milwaukee Brewers News
Description
The Brewers just made a bold move, calling up top prospect Luis Lara—who just signed a seven-year, $31M extension—while sending Blake Perkins down to Triple-A. This is part of Milwaukee’s new strategy: locking up elite young talent before they even reach the majors, like Cooper Pratt and Jackson Chourio did. But Lara’s path to the big leagues is complicated—he’s got no clear spot on a roster already stacked with Gold Glove defenders like Garrett Mitchell, Sal Frelick, and Chourio. With Yelich locked in as DH, the team’s struggling to find room for Lara without disrupting a lineup that’s clicking. One idea? Use him against lefties, since he’s a switch-hitter and Frelick’s been struggling against them—but that just adds another layer to the puzzle.
