Jackie Bradley Jr. - Staying in Milwaukee Bradley will exercise his $9.5 million player option with the Brewers for the 2022 season, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports. Impact It's hardly a surprise, as Bradley endured the worst offensive season of his career with a .163/.236/.261 slash line and 30.8 percent strikeout rate in 134 games. The 31-year-old remains one of the best defensive center fielders in baseball, but he'll need a significant rebound at the plate in 2022 in order to maintain a regular role in the Milwaukee outfield with Christian Yelich, Lorenzo Cain and Tyrone Taylor still under contract.
