Even though the offseason is technically over now that Spring Training is in full swing, the work never stops for Slingin’ David Stearns and company. The front office brain trust has not added any additional talent to the fold recently, but they have taken the steps to lock in two players as part of their long-term core going forward. So far this spring contract extensions have been announced with Freddy Peralta and Christian Yelich that should keep both players in Milwaukee for most of the coming decade.
