Braun: Would Be Willing To Play 1st Or 2nd Base

A trade for Christian Yelich and the free-agent signing of Lorenzo Cain sets up a logjam in the Milwaukee Brewers outfield.  That has slugger Ryan Braun saying he’s willing to move to the infield to make room.  Braun was quoted Sunday as saying he’d be open to a switch from left field to first base — or, even to second base.  Braun was a third baseman as a rookie and his fielding metrics weren’t very strong, but he did play shortstop in college for the University of Miami.  Speculation is, the Brewers will deal some of their outfield surplus for a needed starting pitcher, but there are no rumors about any transactions like that right now.
