Free-agent second baseman Kolten Wong has agreed to sign with the Milwaukee Brewers for two years and $18 million, The Athletic reported Wednesday.
The Brewers own a club option on a third year, which would make the deal worth $26 million, per the report.
Wong, 30, has spent his entire eight-season career with division rival St. Louis. The Cardinals declined a $12.5 million option on Wong, making him a free agent.

Adding Wong would displace Keston Hiura, who is expected to be Milwaukee’s first baseman. The only other first baseman on the roster is journeyman Daniel Vogelbach.
