For the longest time the Milwaukee Brewers have been known as an organization, that has not taken care of their players. For once, the Brewers did the right thing and gave Corey Hart a three-year extension. Hart will get 26.5 million over the next three seasons. Hart who was the talk of many trade rumors is having the best year of his career batting .288 with 23 home runs and 72 RBIs. Hart’s 23 home runs is just one shy of his career high of 24, which he should easily pass this season. He was named to the 2010 National League All-Star team on the players' ballot and started the game in place of injured Atlanta Braves rookie Jason Heyward. He also was a member of the 2008 NL All-Star team.
This is a good signing for the Brewers and leaves Prince Fielder one person the Brewers must figure out what to do with. Many people think he will be traded eventually most likely in the off-season. The Brewers are desperate for pitching and he could bring some pitching for the Brewers. His bat in the lineup would be missed, but unless the Brewers fix the pitching problem, they will continue to lose games. At least by signing Corey Hart the organization is showing they will pay their plays and committed to winning baseball games.
