The Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers have both been in the news recently due to free agent signings. The Brewers signed Andrew McCutchen to a one-year $8.5 million deal. The Dodgers signed Freddy Freeman to a six-year $160 million deal. Both are former National League MVP’s, though Freeman’s is MUCH more recent. Neither played in the teams’ first spring training game, but there were plenty of Brewers’ highlights.

Christian Yelich Drives in a Run
Christian Yelich stated earlier that he feels like he is in a good place physically. He certainly look so today on this RBI single.
