Bradley, who was awarded a Gold Glove in 2018 as well, signed a free agent contract with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2021. Bradley is now on his way to his sixth Major League Baseball team in the previous three years, following runs with the Toronto Blue Jays and the Kansas City Royals in 2022 and 2023, respectively.
