Following Willy Adames' departure from the Brewers, the team has been experimenting with its infield alignment during Spring Training. Initially, it was expected that prospect Ortiz would take over the shortstop position, while Turang would remain at second base. However, recent shifts have seen Ortiz play second and Turang at short, with the team's management open to continuing this experimentation into the regular season. Despite the changes, the Brewers seek stability in their infield positions as they prepare for the new season, leveraging the defensive strengths of both players.
We haven't made a final decision. I haven't made a final decision. I really believe in looking at all of it, taking in all the information and listening to others.
This might be better for everybody.
Milwaukee used 108 different defensive lineups during the 2024 season, yet the cornerstones of that shifting lineup were Adames at shortstop, Turang at second base, and Ortiz at third base.
Turang was a Gold Glove and Platinum Glove winner last season as a second baseman, with public defensive metrics all wowed by his work at the position.
