Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jake Bauers is projected to depart in free agency, with the Arizona Diamondbacks emerging as a likely destination, according to a recent analysis. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter became a free agent following the 2026 season.
The prediction suggests Milwaukee would then pursue a former Most Valuable Player to fill the void at first base. Specific terms or the identity of the targeted former MVP were not disclosed in the report.
Bauers, who has also played outfield during his career, posted a .238 batting average with 12 home runs and 43 RBIs in 118 games for the Brewers in 2026. His versatility and left-handed bat make him an attractive option for teams seeking lineup balance.
