Complete List of 2024 Free Agents

I wouldn't be opposed to a Manny Pina and Yasmani Grandal reunion.   Manny as the backup catcher and Grandal as the primary DH. 

At 1B I would take a flier on Mancini being what he was in Baltimore and not what he was last year. 

For relievers I would look at Pomeranz, Hicks, Barria and Heuer.  For starters I would look at Plesac, Severino, Bauer and Giolito. 

I think Giolito will want a multi year deal so he may not be a realistic target. 

I am also intrigued with Jung Hoo Lee and Kyle Lewis.  I think Jung Hoo Lee maybe someone the Brewers could possibly get but I think the Giants may price them out.  Yes I know he is an OF but I have a feeling two of Frelick/Wiemer/Taylor will be traded which will open up an OF spot. 

Nick Senzel is also another intriguing option though he should never face RHP.  He would fix the Brewers problem against LHP as he put up a 165 wRC+ against LHP.  Maybe have Senzel as a platoon at DH would only need to find a LH masher to platoon with him.  Maybe someone like Joc Pederson who has been rumored to the Brewers the past 3 off seasons is it now? 

I think something like this could be possible:

C: Manny Pina 2-years $3.5mm

DH/OF/3B: Nick Senzel 1-year $2.5mm

DH/OF: Joc Pederson 2-years $26mm

RP: Pomeranz 2-years $8mm

SP: Pleasac 1-year $3mm

2024 total FA spending: $31mm

I think that would put the starting payroll around what it was in 2023.  This is assuming Burnes, Adames and Williams will be traded for mostly prospects.
