But for the Braves, they get one of the top catchers in baseball and the Brewers get a premier offensive talent behind the dish.New lineups for Milwaukee Brewers and Atlanta BravesWith Omar Narvaez in free agency, the Brewers needed a catcher. Fortunately, they got one of the brightest young talents in that position. Their lineup is a lot more dangerous now:Christian Yelich, DHWilly Adames, SSRowdy Tellez, 1BWilliam Contreras, CLuis Urias, 2BJace Peterson, 3BGarrett Mitchell, CFKeston Hiura, LFTyrone Taylor, RFWilliam Contreras heads to MilwaukeeAtlanta's potential lineup depends on whether or not they sign Dansby Swanson. Assuming they don't, and all signs point to them not doing so, here's what a potential lineup would look like:Ronald Acuna Jr., RFOzzie Albies, 2BMatt Olson, 1BAustin Riley, 3BSean Murphy, CMichael Harris, CFTravis d'Arnaud, DHEddie Rosario, LFJose Iglesias/ Elvis Andrus, SSA stopgap free agent or prospect may play shortstop, but their lineup is pretty deep with Murphy in town.
