With Willy Adames departing, the Brewers confront a notable void at shortstop for the first time in three and a half years. Brice Turang and Ortiz are the leading candidates to fill the position, having excelled defensively at second and third base, respectively. While Turang has primarily played second base, he has experience at shortstop, and Ortiz has made limited appearances there. The decision on who will take the shortstop role will influence the entire infield dynamic, necessitating adjustments for other positions due to Adames’ exit.
In either case, the trickle-down impact of Adames' departure will be felt somewhere other than shortstop. If Turang moves to the left side of the infield, the Brewers will need someone else to step up at second base.
Brice Turang and Ortiz each thrived at their easier positions, with Turang tying for seventh among second basemen with six Outs Above Average, and Ortiz leading third basemen.
