The Yankees traded Bauers to Milwaukee on Friday in exchange for Jace Avina and Brian Sanchez.
With a .211 batting average and .663 OPS through four seasons in the majors, Bauers has yet to establish himself as a threat at the plate. However, with no remaining minor-league options, he figures to be firmly in the running for the Brewers' first base job, and his ability to man the corner outfield positions could land him a bench spot if he doesn't start.
