What is Broxton’s trade value?
Would Braun consider a move to 1B and would the Brewers do it? I suspect his defense in LF is at best average and will only decline with age. Maybe the trade to LA will finally happen?

However, my great fear with him is that his 2017 BABIP of .408 means he might get hit with the regression stick next year. Even a reduction to above-average (say, .340) would probably result in numbers that look very Keon Broxton-ian, albeit, with better defense. I think the best course of action is probably to platoon the two (as written by Colin) of them to start the year. Maybe one of them seizes the full-time job, but playing the platoon advantage until then would put both (and the team) in the best possible position to succeed.
