After over 400 plate appearances in 2021 we have our $219,000,000 man and number 3 hitter with a 0.249 BA, 45 RBIs, and most alarming a 0.374 SLG %. Sure he has a decent .0360 OBP, good for 30th in the MLB if he had a qualifying number of PAs. After over 650 PAs since he broke his kneecap this salary promises to be a huge burden to the franchise for almost the next decade . With only an above average OBP he isn’t even worth half that salary. The real question is this what we can expect the future Yelich to be? If the Brewers are anything it is patient with Council, Shaw, and Hiura slumps recently. Will it be too late for the Brewers to get any fair trade compensation for him or will it be impossible to dump that huge salary?
