Milwaukee Brewers showing interest in Joc Pederson, per report

BREW CREW BALL | 3 MONTHS AGO | 51 SECONDS READ

Joc Pederson has a bat that would play really well in Milwaukee. It looks like that the Brewers' front office feels the same way. Ken Rosenthal reports the Brewers are one of a few teams interested in his services.

“ After Marcell Ozuna, Joc Pederson might emerge as the most desirable option out of a glut of free-agent left-field types that includes David Dahl, Adam Duvall, Brett Gardner, Robbie Grossman, Eddie Rosario and Kyle Schwarber.

The teams with at least some interest in Pederson include the Brewers, Cardinals and White Sox.

In 2019, Pederson had his best season for power. During that year, he slashed .249/.339/.538 while posting a 127 wRC+. He also hit 36 bombs. In almost every other season previous he has been nearly as good, actually posting higher fWAR in 2016 and 2017. As with so many players, 2020 was a down season for Pederson. The Brewers could be looking at the potential of the former Dodgers' outfielder returning to career norms and possibly exceeding them in the friendly confines of AmFam Field.

REUTERS • 1 HOUR AGO NEW DELHI (Reuters) - An Indian border state, into which more than 1,000 people from Myanmar have sought refuge, is pushing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration to engage with representatives of the southeast Asian country’s ousted elected government. But the chief minister of the northeastern state of Mizoram said on Sunday that he had held talks with a member of a committee of ousted lawmakers in Myanmar, which is attempting to reestablish the civilian government. Many of the people who have sought shelter in the remote Indian state since late February are defecting policemen and their families. “We have to help them in the time of need,” Mizoram lawmaker K. Vanlalvena, who attended the meetings, said in an interview. At least 250 people have been killed and thousands detained in Myanmar since Feb. 1, with security forces attempting to stamp out widespread pro-democracy protests.
