Ryan Braun News
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun visited Brewers camp Monday but is still "strongly leaning" toward retiring, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Braun's visibility at the camp may have led some to believe he is considering playing at some point this year, and he did not close the door on that happening, saying, "Until I get to a point where I've completely made my mind up, I just don't see any sense in making (retirement) official." However, he did ultimately reaffirm his comments from February, when he said he isn't "currently interested in playing" baseball in 2021, and added that his "top priority is parenting." Braun has a Milwaukee franchise-record 352 regular-season home runs in his first 13 big league seasons. Braun hit just .233/.281/.488 with eight home runs, 26 RBI, and 14 runs scored in 139 plate appearances in 2020. As of now, fantasy managers can ignore him.
Free-agent outfielder Ryan Braun isn't ready to retire, but he also said that he's "not currently interested in playing." The 37-year-old became a free agent when the Milwaukee Brewers declined their half of his mutual option for 2021 and gave him a $4 million buyout instead. With no designated hitter currently projected in the National League for 2021, that also hurts Braun's market. The fifth overall pick in the 2005 draft, Braun was the NL Rookie of the Year in 2007, the 2011 NL MVP and won five Silver Slugger awards while making the All-Star team six times. He has a Milwaukee franchise-record 352 regular season home runs in his first 13 big league seasons. Braun hit just .233/.281/.488 with eight home runs, 26 RBI and 14 runs scored in 139 plate appearances in 2020. As of now, fantasy managers can ignore him, as the Brewers first full-squad workout is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 23.
The Milwaukee Brewers declined to pick up veteran outfielder Ryan Braun's $15 million mutual option for the 2021 season on Friday, making him a free agent. The team's career home run leader will now ponder his future and is due a $4 million buyout. the 37-year-old has spent his entire career in Milwaukee and pondered out loud earlier this year that the 2020 season might've been his last in baseball. Braun leads the franchise with 352 career home runs, but he hit a career-low .233 with seven home runs and 27 RBI in 39 games this year while fighting through back issues. His back problem prevented him from playing in the final wild-card loss to the Dodgers. Braun ranks second in Brewers history in RBI (1,154), extra-base hits (809), total bases (3,525) and doubles (408). He ranks third in runs (1,080), hits (1,963), triples (49), steals (216) and walks (586).
