He hit .282 and scored 100 runs for Miami last season. Among the players Milwaukee gave up was their top-rated prospect, outfielder Lewis Brinson. Milwaukee also agreed to a deal with outfielder Lorenzo Cain. Cain is 31, and hit .300 for Kansas City last season. If he passes a physical, the contract is said to be worth 80-million dollars over five years. Both Yelich and Cain are considered good defensive players.
