The San Francisco Giants said goodbye to multiple veteran, fan-favorite players in the past few years. Brandon Belt and Brandon Crawford are just two, but the Giants have lost others.

Crawford caught on with the St. Louis Cardinals, giving him another opportunity to continue his career.

As for Belt, the same can't be said.

The left-handed slugger, 35 years old, hasn't found a team for the 2024 season. Belt spent the 2023 season with the Toronto Blue Jays, slashing .254/.369/.490 with 19 home runs. He had a respectable year, which makes it even more of a surprise that no one wants the 13-year veteran.

During his 12 big league seasons with San Francisco, Belt was named an All-Star once and was a member of two World Series teams.

According to Zachary D. Rymer of Bleacher Report, Belt is an MLB free agent signing that should happen as soon as possible.

Rymer suggests the Milwaukee Brewers should sign him, giving them another option in the lineup.

Adding Belt is a simple solution to some of the offensive struggles the Brewers will likely face. Milwaukee also understands what they're going to get out of Belt as he's produced for nearly his entire career.

The Brewers have played better than expected coming into the season, sitting at 7-3 on the year. In a below-average NL Central, there's a good chance they'll be right in the mix to win the division at the end of the season.

A chance to play and win should intrigue the former Giants slugger if the opportunity presents itself.
