There are a few other Brewers that the Rockies could look at to help fill some of their holes.

First baseman/corner outfielder Eric Thames: 2018 stats: 98 games, 16 HRs, 37 RBI, .219/.306/.478 slash line, 106 OPS+, -1 DRS between left field, right field, and first base. Owed $6 million in 2019 and he has a player option for $7.5 million ($1 million buyout) for 2020.

Outfielder Domingo Santana: 2018 stats: 85 games, 5 HRs, 20 RBI, .265/.328/.412 slash with a 97 OPS+. However, in 2017, he hit 30 HRs, 85 RBI, and a .278/.371/.505 slash with an OPS+ of 126 in 151 games. He is arbitration eligible for the first time this offseason and is projected to make $2 million.

Right-handed reliever Corey Knebel: 3.58 ERA in 57 games in 2018 with 16 saves, a 3.03 FIP, 3.6 BB/9, 14.6 K/9. In 2017, he was an All-Star who led the NL in games (76) with an ERA of 1.78, 39 saves, 4.7 BB/9, 14.9 K/9.
