The Milwaukee Brewers  looked into acquiring Washington Nationals’ outfielder Nyjer Morgan, a source tells Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.  The need for Morgan as a backup outfielder became more pressing when the Brewers traded outfielder Chris Dickerson to the New York Yankees as part of the Sergio Mitre trade.

Rosenthal later adds that the Brewers moved on from Morgan and have decided to go with Brandon Boggs and Jeremy Reed as their extra outfielders.

Though Milwaukee will not acquire Morgan, he could still benefit from a change in scenery.  Especially after his recent suspensions in 2010 that included a fight and hurling a ball at a fan.

Morgan, 30, in recent years has been frustrated at his slow progress in the Major Leagues.  He is a lifetime .283/.344/.360 hitter in five Major League seasons. However, 2010 was his first seasons where he spent most of his time with the big league club (136 games).
