Milwaukee Brewers own bid rights to Japanese…

The Milwaukee Brewers have won the right to negotiate a contract with Japanese outfielder Norichika Aoki.

Aoki’s team, the Yakult Swallows, said Sunday it accepted the Brewers’ bid of $2.5 million under the posting system.

The Brewers have 30 days to work out a deal with the 29-year-old Aoki, a three-time Central League batting champion.

Aoki batted .292 with four home runs and 44 RBIs in 144 games for the Swallows this year. He has a career batting average of .329 in eight seasons, all with Yakult. Aoki is the only player in Japanese professional baseball to have had two 200-hit seasons.

Brewers general manager Doug Melvin has indicated he was satisfied moving forward with a center-field platoon that includes the eccentric Nyjer Morgan and defensive specialist Carlos Gomez. But left fielder Ryan Braun, the NL’s reigning MVP, is facing a possible 50-game suspension after a positive test for performance-enhancing drugs.
